Coconut Audio
Have you seen the prices for Coconut Audio products? His system is worth more than ever, and he is as hilarious as he is talented (at least at pool). I bow down to his godliness. I'm pretty sure he lives a relatively normal life, and the place that he filmed his Coconut Audio stuff in is like a second apartment or something where he does crazy shit and keeps his rabbits.

Restoring a Micro Seiki MX-1 electrostat - source for material an thickness?
Damn straight, even if it's the best thing ever, it will still be 10 less than the ET1000. I'm going to try removing the felt I put on the backs of the cups, I think they're making the sound too closed in. Also I think the wires connected to the stators are insulated but maybe I should further insulate.

That's what that guy on HF who repaired his said it was. But there are way more functional (well, sort of. after a good cleaning out of the disintegrated foams) ESP9s than MX-1s out there.

I personally think they look hideous. Like some sort of air filtration/ionization machine. And the smaller ones look like that ugly llama gif thing:

What are you EATING right now?
i'd actually love to try some good refreshing spring water right now. most of the water i drink (admittedly little) is tap, which tastes lightly of putrification, defecation, and other various nasties. which is why i don't drink much of it i think it's a little of both http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/nauseous

I think curved stators would indeed cause the diaphragm to have less swing capability and thus not be able to push as much air, all things else being the same. Maybe that's why at 1200 volts he's not having issues with too small a D/S gap, unless he changed the D/S gap to be bigger as well. What material is he using for the stators, do you know?

World Cup 2010 - Slovakia
I think the US could really clinch the NFC east if they pull their heads out of their asses and start actually catching the ball and running with it.

That's the point. It's become ingrained as a way of playing a soccer, a strategy to win. But it sucks, it's lame, no one wants to watch that, etc.

Restoring a Micro Seiki MX-1 electrostat - source for material an thickness?
Interesting choice, using curved stators. I wonder why though, for the purposes of a headphone in which the driver is sitting right next to the ear dispersion shouldn't be a problem. Of course curved stators create odd problems with tension unlike as you said, he uses a large amount of tension. In which the bass disappears. 0.95 definitely seems on the thin side, though apparently the HE Audio Jade uses 0.5? I'm definitely going to have to defer to spritzer, who knows everything there is to know about electrostatic headphones, but otherwise say 2-4 microns is a safe bet, with something closer to 2 being preferable. spritzer would also know about where to buy mylar in Europe. This person used 1.4 micron: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/498095/review-refurbished-micro-seiki-mx-1-electrostatic-headphones-ms-2-headphones-mp-1-amplifier

Er, I meant the PMB100 driver in a PMB100 frame, where there is no seal and there's a lot of distance from driver to ear. I'm sure the driver itself produces deep bass. Still trying to find a SR-3/5 for cheap to make a pseudo SR-5NB but that's somewhere down the line.

What are you listening to Part Two
... yeah, it's true. Found a recording of Menuhin playing the second. Ah, much better.

What are you listening to Part Two
I actually had to remind myself what the second one sounded like, and the one video that's on youtube is one of the most horrendous things ever. If the second one is a collection of scales, what's the first? A collection of arpeggios?

Good. Will check out Bruch stuffs. Was nearly beaten to death by overexposure to Bruch's first violin concerto as a kid.
