Lucky You lucky bastard! LOL. A wife that appreciates your hi-fidelity. Not only a friend Bernard. A friend with benefits.

It was the Dynaco 400 that used a Hammond power transformer. Crossed wires.

Ran a pair of ST-70's for years. Once modded they sound very respectable. Power supply must be solid state (full wave rectifier bridge I believe), replace all resistors and caps with high grade components throughout. I know there were reasons for looking for cloth lead trannies but the reason...

Hey Jonathan, do you mind sharing with us the source of your findings in these advances, i.e. mylar tensioning and conductive mylar coatings? Thanks

Nice system Zaphod. Zaphod, as in Zaphod Beeblebrox? Anyone who can appreciate the late Douglas Adams is ok in my books. LOL. I recently acquired a pair of CLS's. Best deal I ever made for a speaker choice. They continue to amaze me. What do you like about them best? Least? Don

Sorry if I in any way implied these amplifiers were for the ML's. I was asking if there was an equivalent feature here on MLO.

Not sure if there is one on MLO's site but I found the following site very helpful to narrow down the search from a list of other peoples successes for my Quad ESL 57's. The website for suggested amps is: http://www.quadesl.org/Amplifiers/AmpList/amplist.html Is there one here on MLO Tom?

I too have favored the tube amplifiers for as long as I can remember. Had several and listened on my own system to many others. I favor a tube amp with a solid state regulated power supply with considerable capacitance to produce the best possible DC power to the power bus. The tubes when driven...

Thanks again Jonathan for your detailed response. Looks like your the details guy here. Good to know. CLX's look awesome, although I don't think I'll ever get a chance to hear them without first purchasing. It's so hard to hear something now without commtiing to buy first. Not to mention the...

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if a member overtly insults another member I usually count the insult as a weakness of the person delivering the insult and go on to ignore it hoping the lack of attention to it will go noticed again by the person delivering it.

Hi Guys! Thought I'd chime in here as the gravity story sort of plays into the theme of things. When Newton wrote out his equation for gravity it explained in sufficient detail (still sufficient for almost all purposes still today) the motion of objects under the influence of the "force" of...

Equally large threat!:devil:

Have to agree with Cherian. Physics says no advantage. It would take a lot of current to starve an amplifier of free electons on the supply side of a transformer.

I don't think there is a gap in center stage gentlemen. When my head is centered I have the vocals dead center. Problem comes when I move my head from side to side. There seems to be spots where there is considerably more output in the vocal range from side to side. Gordon, I used the light...

Thanks guys, I'll play around with those ideas. I've never had a speaker so sensitive to placement that I might need a level and a flashlight test to locate. LOL. I appreciate you addressing redundant postings. Gordon the speakers are eight feet apart at the inside. I sit about 12 feet back. I...
