The Jecklin Floats thread

My "new" old way to look strange during listening to the music ... ;-)

I have also made some mod, it helps with the reproduction of lower bass.

It is nice that new set of foams is still produced, but still waiting for delivery.

Energizer is model PS2 with four transformers inside.

Hello Chinsettawong

 

I am your big fan since your first electrostatic headphones on http://www.diyaudio.com/ :)

 

The whole driver is 9,32 mm thick and dimensions are 119x105 mm.

The window with visible stator is 74x85 mm.

 

The are dust covers, but different from those in Stax drivers. It is smooth and looks like mylar, but it is not. It is different plastic foil, very thin and delicate.

It is very easy to damage them.

I've been on the hunt for years now after any of the older Ergo's, Jecklins and Koss ? floats but no dice. They are hard to come by.

Sad true :- I had luck and bought two pairs with one Power Suply PS2.

One pair plays bright and light with bass, and the other plays with more bass and impact, but little less highs.

Sound signature is far away from my Stax earspeakers, and this is fantastic.

My wife said "there is more music in them" (in Jecklin she meant).

 

Good news is there are spares for them at:  http://www.quad-musik.de/html/spares.html

New foams are for 38 €, and one new driver is about 170 € (pair for 340 €).

But there is none new cables, plugs or sockets for this old Electrostat :-

 

Try to search www.ebay.de for Jecklin Float. Price is almost always too high :-http://www.ebay.de/itm/FLOAT-JECKLIN-PS2-BOX-HEADPHONES-HEADPHONE-ECLECTROSTAT-/171594963370?pt=FR_Image_son_Ecouteurs&hash=item27f3db59aa
