Okay,
So I got an e-mail from someone who had viewed a previous posting in which I had described my variation of the cap-replacement mod I performed to the Aerius i's. The guy seemed nice enough but was a lousy typer and i couldn't understand what he was trying to tell me. Since I responded to his e-mail with an e-mail containing a signature with my phone number this guy decides to call me to talk about the his mod.
Strange, yes. Audiopile like... Possibly.
Anyway, this is what the guy tells me to do: Solder a 1 or 1.5 ohm 10W resistor in line with the black lead coming off the transformer for the panel. According to him this goes to ground. I have not opened my speakers to confirm this.
That's it.
He says it changes the face of the whole speaker. Everything opens up. You get more output and more extension out of the panel. He says the image becomes huge regardless of how far the speakers are seperated from eachother.
Before everyone writes this guy off as a complete nut, which he could be, he does have a lot of experience with electrostatics. Supposedly he knows Jim Strickland formerly of Acoustat and this mod was inspired by something that Acoustat aparently included in some or all of their speakers.
So, naturally I come here to hear what other have to say about such a mod. I tried to get a specific answer as to what this mod was doing electronically but this guy had had his morining coffee and another few and had little intention of taking a breath between sentances or letting me talk. So, I listened, a little creaped out by the guys enthusiams and glad that he lives on the opposite of the country buy still a little curious as to weather any of this theory held any water.
This guy apparently tried to join the forum but had problems. If his typing was any indication of how well he handled a computer I can see why this was a problem. Anyway, he had a sense of urgency to share his message and wanted nothing in return.
Oppinions anyone?
