| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Sorry I got here late and the repair decisions have already been made but Russ Knotts at ESL Repair in Chardon, Ohio has replaced a number of panels in my 2905’s. It might be hard to persuade him to do future work on Quads as he’s getting a bit fu... | |
| Can cables have a shelf life? I have older HiDiamond cables that sound very good. According to electricians, copper cable has a life span of around sixty to eighty five years. However, I live in a house built in the later 1800’s with tube and knob wiring and everything sounds ... | |
| New mat for Rega P6? @chayro nevertheless, a change in the mat will mean a change in sound. I've never used Gruv Glide but I'm assuming that it won't change the sound so point taken. | |
| New mat for Rega P6? @smatsui I tried using the Way Excellent II on a Clear Audio with an acrylic platter. There was no difference between the mat and the platter. However, different tables could render different results. | |
| Monstrous power cables I've been told that the primary objective in cable design is to reduce resistance. | |
| New mat for Rega P6? I have a Herbie's Way Excellent II but Herbie's makes a different mat more suitable for acrylic platters called the Grungebuster. I believe the Rega has an acrylic platter, so the Grungebuster might improve sonics but I doubt you would notice any ... | |

| Vintage versus New @jasonbourne52 many of these manufacturers no longer make high end speakers so yes, there value should increase. Besides the 57's which ones do you prefer? | |
| Vintage versus New @mofojo the various materials available today especially. | |
| Vintage versus New @audition__audio yeah, I really like the 57's a lot but they are too lacking in bass. If I had 57's, I'd want to create a stack. | |
| Vintage versus New @holmz I'm using the word 'speakers' in general terms. From my limited understanding, the crossovers used today are different, as are the woofers and tweeters. I believe the drivers on the Electrovoice speakers weighed about fifty pounds each. The... | |

| Tuner choice I bought an HH Scott 350 A in excellent condition for $100.00 about six years ago. I replaced the multiplex tubes with NOS military issue Telefunken’s. It has a liquid, relaxed sound. The multiplex needs an alignment so I listen to it in mono. I’l... | |
