Understood.  It's the reverse for us, we were getting only 14Mbps on a bad day over the landline.  I've just done a speedtest with Three and it's showing 143Mbps but with peaks at over 200Mbps.

That's what happens when you're in the country.

I saw on another forum you were after a pair of OTA 57 "Widgets" could not help re sourcing a pair, as I have said before if they are the early type unscrew the 4 tiny screws of the boxes & solder some decent cable to the 2 thin wires that protruding through the black mastic/resin. Whether the later "Widgets" need better wiring I do not know.

Though my 4 X KT120 Rogue Atlas Magnum is ok with the strange 57 load, the late Steven(Steve) Williams who was OTA suggested their use in a phone conversation that they apparently remove a bass hump and a treble anomaly as well as help solid state amps with the load.  He actually sent me a pair unrequested when I said I had not paid, he said he trusted me, as there was an inexpensive improvement I thanked him & paid for them.  

I found in my room with my system initially not to much happened slightly better bass & a slight improvement in the top end, I made & fitted TNT UBYTE 2 cross connected coax speaker cable replacing a single coax cable as suggested by Roger Sanders; I then tried the "Widget" rewire, in my case with 9 strands of OFC Nordost gold stripped of its outer insulation the 9 strands held together with 10" of shrink wrap, then yes all of the bass hump was removed & the mids/treble were much improved more natural sounding & expansive.  I have tried with & without since for me with is much preferable. Though unlike a single length of coax cable UBYTE 2 works well with cone speakers.

The Sanders white paper aimed at electrostatic speakers.  sanderssoundsystems.com/technical-white-papers/54-cables-white-paper 

Totally agree.

Okay I have had to accept that the Aurex pair will not work with the Quads the constant cut out as the level of songs changes and causes the speaker protection to kick in is just too annoying sad really as they do sound great within their performance envelope .

So instead decided to to replace the pair of Quad 405 Fidele Audio upgraded power amps with the Aurex as straight stereo in my active two way system with Linn Sara 9,s . Just completed the swap today and they are playing now as I type this . I have to say my first thoughts about this amp heard many years ago as part of the full Aurex 15 system has been proved to be correct . These are really well made and lovely sounding amps . They are adding depth and air to the Sara,s and will go very loud in to the Sara,s with no signs of any shutting down . In fact they will go louder than I would consider comfortable listening .

So glad to say they now have a decent place to be used and are staying in place . Now what to do with a pair of Quad 405,s .

I have owned my Sara 9 ,s for about ten years and they originally were passive and had the original tweeters . I had the crossovers removed so just inputs and use a Minidsp DDRC24 for crossover duty . About eighteen months ago I replaced the tweeters with Hiquphon and there was a really good improvement over the originals . As an active speaker they perform much better than as a passive and as Aylesbury are a much easier load than the passives . With the addition of better tweeters they are now a very different speaker than when I first bought them and better in every way .

Listening Cerys as I do most Sundays . BBC 6 music is not the very highest bit rate but as Betty Davis is playing right now it is really very good . Love the different choices on this show and often find something new to go off and search . Jules Holland was back last night and both Sam Morton and Myles Smith were new to me artists and have started a search to find CD or downloads .

I am fairly certain that no one on this is site uses Vortexbox but if by any chance anyone does and they are looking for an easy way to update your LMS version then have a look at the Maverick Forum under the owners section there is a Vortexbox thread and I have just put up a very simple new way of doing it .

As seems to always happen I read a thread somewhere and often the suggestions are a little too much for me . But I am still inspired to find some sort of alternative . Well I have found for quite a few years now that when it comes to isolation springs are the best sounding to me . So my Quad ESL 57 has the stand outfitters sitting on Aircraft Vibration Mounts glued to granite coasters . This works really well . Having a search on Ali Express under Audio Isolation Feet I found a number of sellers offering spring feet sandwiched between two metal plates too and bottom . Nobsound sell these things n the UK . However with many suppliers offering deals I bought four delivered for under £20 . Arrived today and was really impressed at how well made they are . Will say they are quite stiff so will work best with heavy items . Decided these should go under my Delius/Purcell pair which were on hardwood spikes point up . Easy enough job to put the springs in . Put some music on and to my surprise and delight they made a difference and in a positive way . Nothing huge but a nice refinement of the music was there . Sound stage mostly the width were the improvements but there was also and added crispness to the bass as well . Went back on Ali today and ordered two further sets from another supplier with a delivered cost of £30 . Will try these under my NVA S300 but suspect that may be a bit light . Will see anyway as I have other items that could gain from the isolation . Nothing much to lose and a bit of fun .

It is mad, but could be the case
