Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is overwhelmed by compression drivers. I tried the A7s way back when they were current and everyone's favorite, and I tried various modifications with like-minded friends; but I came to the concl...

HelloI've always wanted to try an ESL as a horn driver:So I employed a hi power Koss 3-layer bass module cut from Koss "model 2" spkr.Polarizing voltage was low on Koss design so it was upped to 3kv w/ custom PS.Horn is old closet that had a trapdoor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can tell you that it is very much unknown if it work. Well, we need to defend what is “it” and what would be the definition of “work”. In my response you missed a very critical element - the notion of “starving grounds” a...

I've sort of "analyzed" your thinking (more like taking what you've said so far and continued with my own ideas) and come to the conclusion the most you could do in "your" (could be more like mine) type of way to try to improve yo...

A friend once recommended me to use a wet cloth to slightly moist the tonearm's upper side to avoid electrostatic building up, before playing each record's side. It works wonderfully, especially here in my city which is very dry and electro...

KIS,I have owned the Martin Logan CLS's so I have some long term experience with electrostatics. To me it seems that the Acapella plasma tweeter (which I have heard for a total of less than 30 minutes!) had a SIMILAR quality of sound and yet a&n...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

After much talking with people I am still at lost what cartridge to get in order does not worry about cartridges anymore. It looks like I “fixed” the Shelter but now I need to take it off and to remove dust from within the cartridge – the ceremony I ...

[quote user="N-set"]On the collapse, I did not experience anything that drastic so far...but I do get a lot of irritating chaos on complicated loud passages. At this moment I tend to blame the amplifier (a characteristic "breaking" of the solid state...

[quote user="el`Ol"]David Wilson says about the WAMM:
Atkinson: What range does the electrostatic unit cover?
Wilson: It operates above 5kHz. And it operates at a very low level. It functions primarily to provide part of the leading edge of high-f...

Ok, quite impressive measures, I also once had an idea of sandwitched cabinet construction. Hope it will work. 4mm steel is quite rigid but weights a lot. If $$$ permits you may consider copper for the inner layer instead of alu to create a good ele...

[quote user="Paul Costa"]Romy do you know anything about their preamp. This unit looks massive. Very little info available on it. The one description I found sounds like some of the typical American over done foolishness.[/quote] Back in 90s there wa...

I use Jecklin Float Electrostatic headphones (known to some as ear speakers as they sit slighlty away from your ears) and the nearest speaker I have ever heard emulate the feeling of these headphones is the ESL 57's. They are noto...

If you contact the guy he will probably tell you where it is from. It is good and it is a bigger flame than the one used by Acapella. The ion tweeters absolutely need clean power AND need to be isolated from the rest of your system as the...

How the hell can a miserable recording of a live Rolling Stones concert be any reference for advanced playback. I'll bet that everyone that attended the concert was amazed - and that had to be about the shittiest sound known to mankind produced b...

[quote user="drdna"] Okay, this is of course an excellent point. Naturally, if the system is optimized to begin with, this type of stuff will not have a beneficial effect. If you have done the experiments before, then you know what to expect from...

AFAIK all gear works on DC not AC ,why none of those enlightened designers ,design a PSU which is immune to the quality of grid. Do you have electrostatic shields in your power transformers ?? That would be the first step.Regards, L...
