RE: Why do electrostatics sound better after the high voltage has been on for a while?

The original Quad does take some time to fully charge once energized. This is a function of the conductive coating. How long it takes will depend on a couple variables.

Humidity and age of the panels will impact the length of charge time. For newish panels in relatively high humidity conditions charge time can be as short as 10-15 minutes. Older panels in dryer humidity can take hours perhaps over night.

The coating used in the ESL-63 is completely different from the original. The ESL-63 will charge instantly once energized no matter the age of the panels or the humidity conditions. Most electrostatics work this way.
