Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
@ghdprentice @terry9 I have spent my time studying the websites of Magnepan DWM and Bryston, watching videos, learning all I can. Then I just encountered the recent comments above. Living in a small city there is not a single audio store that car...

Thank you @terry9 .  I will take a look at Scanspeak, Bryston & Magnepan. And I do listen to a fair amount of organ music, and I don't know of anything else that produces such sustained below 50Hz-low notes that can be so tough on subs, so may... 
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
@terry9  Humm...Listen before I buy? I was going to order the speakers online from overseas-- they are clones of the BG NEO10 & NEO8s--and so I've been relying on others' recommendations. When you said "every time I slide into cones, I have to...

I've been following with interest this dialogue. When everyone is referring to "audiophile" level cables, exactly what is it that constitutes such quality? That is, I'm not interested in a brand name, but what is the technology? The composition? I... 
Free air resonance
Thank you @mijostyn. Can anyone tell me if REM is the software that would help me? Or is there another app I should look into? And this is what I am undecided over: a ported closure to extend response from 38 down to 25, or if an infinite baffle w... 
Free air resonance
@erik_squires I looked at DIYaudio, and I'll look again, but I didn't see content as well-directed as this thread. Is REM a cabinet simulator app? Are there any free apps that are adequate? I am wondering if my first question is even possible - to... 
Free air resonance
@mijostyn +2 @mahgister +1 @erik_squires This has been a fascinating read and I am impressed with all the sharing of knowledge. I just joined because (to me) I have an odd question and don't know how to start a new thread, and also because it ties...
