| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Two years ago we had the $35K LP12 on the cover of Stereophile. So even more now for the 50th Anniversary edition! This is a ’statement’ product to anchor Linn’s place in the top-tier of High End audio - like those $375K mono amps from DarTZeel in... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @perkri +1! I have the pre-Linn Ariston RD and the later Ariston RD11S in my TT collection, along with an LP12. Ivor did indeed copy Stuart Hamish’s Ariston. In fact Ivor had Stuart build the first year’s LP12 production at the Ariston factory in ... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @clearthinker +1! Unfortunately there are many here that do believe in the 'good' vs. 'bad' electricity fallacy, even to the extent that one needs an 'audiophile' wall outlet for purer voltage transfer. | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings Miles Davis at Newport July '69 soon after the release of Bitches Brew. I have this on two LP's. This, along with Live Evil catch Miles in his new electric era. | |
| 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? |
