In Reply to: RE: Why do electrostatics sound better after the high voltage has been on for a while? posted by fredtr on March 15, 2021 at 09:40:59:
Given the age of the panels there could be some issues. Perhaps not enough to impact sonics or overall performance but enough to impact the power supply and time to full charge.
Panels that are not fully charged will sound different after reaching full charge. There might be a small leakage path somewhere and this will slow things down.
Or perhaps aged components in the audio circuit?
It can be hard to determine with electrostats of this age when everything is still original exactly what is going on. Time and high voltage has taken its toll. Usually the panels and high voltage supply are the areas of concern.
