I wonder if we'll see any K340s at the SoCal meet. Do they need to charge up like normal electrostats?

Ok, it's been a few hours, where are the pics dammit!

Sduibek - I don't think they really need any charge up time, but since they need beefy amps to sound their best charge up time is always good. My Dynahi sounds better after its been playing for a while... or maybe its my CD player. Anyways, I usually find that if I set everything up and start it playing a half hour or so before I listen to it the experience is more pleasurable. Then again, maybe its just the OCD acting up.

And so it starts. First is a RCA to RCA cable. 24 gauge silver plated copper covered in teflon and shielded. Shield is only used as a shield.







Thanks to Christina for the pictures.
