| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @clearthinker : what is 'low quality' electricity? Why do you say that it fills a capacitor first before 'high quality' electricity. So you've invented a new phenomenon for the "golden ears" crowd to obsess over! | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers By the time the OP switched power cords his ESL's were fully charged. So naturally they sounded far better than initial turn on! Nothing to do with the power cords! | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Bedini 25/25 or any of the higher-power models, depending upon how loud you like to listen! I have a 25/25 and a 150/150 to choose between. Class A and superior to any low-power SET amp for headroom/avoidance of clipping distortion. | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @bellemusique : I suggest you become better acquainted with technical knowledge than relying on hearsay from the "golden ears" crowd! | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers A better choice for ESL’s are regular transformer-coupled tube amps. Their output trannies provide isolation against such low impedances. | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @bellemusique -1! OTL tube amps like my Julius Futterman H3aa's are uncomfortable with speaker loads below 8 ohms. ESL speakers drop to 2 ohms or less at high frequencies. OTL amps lose power and are stressed by such low impedances. So not recomme... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @jhnnrrs +1! Nice to hear a voice of reason here! | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers Peter Walker's discovery of the million ohm charging resistor was the breakthrough that made ESL speakers possible! Since ESL's draw so little AC current even a 22 gauge cord will work fine! | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers I use ordinary zip cord to charge my KLH Nine full-range ESL’s. Same for my Quad 57’s. The argument that "everything matters" in audio is just plain BS! | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @mrskeptic+1! Yes, the OP heard an improvement - but it had NOTHING to do with the power cord! ESL speakers charge their diaphragms through a 1 Million ohm or greater resistor. This slow charging can take more than one day (24 hours). So the wron... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition When will we see it on the cover of Stereophile? | |
| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen I was also lucky to see Rod Stewart and the Faces at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in March ’75. That was a good rollicking show! Ron Wood on lead guitar! | |
| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen The three best albums by Rod Stewart are the S/T one, Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story. All on Mercury. After these the decline sets in! | |
| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen The Jeff Beck group played all of Truth and Beck-Ola. Attendance was sparse. I was there with two high school friends. I had an extra ticket. My date’s mother wouldn’t let her go to the show! I paid $6 for the four tickets - bought by my father at... | |
| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen I saw the original Jeff Beck Group on their first - and only - US tour in July 1969. By the end of that month the band broke up. Two divas - Beck and Stewart - couldn't get along! Rod was the best singer ever for Beck! The show I saw was on a Mond... |
