I have strange problem with my ESL57 (just use one, am into mono).It is fine on CD and radio, but on vinyl there are nasty didtortions, like static. Does anyone have anyidea on what might be causing this?
Am using a Dual701 with Shure VSTV, Allen Wright 4 valve preamp, and a Sansui power amp
cheers

Follow Ups:
...with suspicion at your amplifier. Many Sansuis have trouble with Quads when stretched into amplifying the very small outputs from vinyl pre-stages. The Sansui AU101 (I think) has paricular issues with Quads re: popping on one or both channels also.Might be totally wrong in your case, but do try another amp if possible.

Since the 57 functions fine with the other sources you mention I'd suspect the turntable / phono stage before looking to the speaker itself. Perhaps some earthing problem?
Could it be an issue with a rumble filter? Feedback and bad craziness can start low...
