Hi.
There used to be a handy compatability chart (I think from One Thing Audio?) that showed `safe' amplifiers to use with the ESL57. I had it saved in my favorites but it comes up 'Site Not Found'. Did anyone print it out (as I should have done but didn't)? The point is I've just acquired in a swop deal the following.
DUAL `Audiophile Concept' CS505-4 two speed record deck.
NAD 7020i Stereo Receiver (AM/FM).
NAD 6325 Stereo Cassette Deck.
Two HACKER Speakers type LS1100.
The deck has a cartridge marked DN 168E DUAL. There's a knurled collar at the back of the cartridge shell which undoes, but although the head moves, it does not seem happy about coming off. Is it just stiff (pull harder) or is there a way it should be removed? Perhaps it's best to leave it alone, but I'd like to know how to remove it if need be.
Can anyone tell me anything about the above? Particularily, would the amplifier be safe to use with the electrostatic speakers?
I'm guessing that the Hacker speakers are from an earlier set-up and were retained because of their sound. When they were made they were not cheap. I really would appreciate any information anyone can give me about the above............................... Jim.
