Bugger, I missed it. I meant to bid on this Puresound T10 SUT and forgot. Went for a decent price too.

It's like waiting for a bus, when it finally turns up.....
I've just serviced a pair of these, sound very good indeed.

If you are referring to the Shackman's they are not ribbons and therein can lie a problem. Alex developed and electret condenser type electrostatic panel, like an electret mic it retained it's polarising voltage. The diaphragm is made from tissue paper that was soaked in copper sulphate and then dried. When I was a kid and just getting into audio I would regularly cycle to his shop in east Barnet and see the sheets of material being assembled in to the "Dynastatic" panels, which were also sold as stand alone units. I had a pair of the speakers, several of the top units and a pair of Quad 11s he had converted to use KT 77s. The problem is that the diaphragm is hydroscopic and the tissue rots unless kept in perfect conditions. After Alex died Volt obtained the rights to the unit, but I don't remember them selling new ones.Quote:

Still fancy a set of vintage Yamaha HP 1s. Think I'll call it a day after that.
