I don't know how bright it originally was, but I'm sure even if you get an original inverter, or one with same specs, it won't reach original brightness - foils are old/original, probably. Their brightness halves in the ballpark of 5.000 hours. I understood you are fixed on frequency, but...

Yes, brightness increases with frequency as well as with voltage...lifetime is shortened, though. Decrease voltage to test.

I believe EL foils in general start to wake up at about 20VAC. My inverter works with 5VDC and puts out 110 VAC, I tend to remember...no clue about frequency anymore. A good read for a layman like myself, particulary the "hum" notice...yep, should have come across this earlier...although it...

Nope, just the 200 S-line is EL-iluminated.

If the precut foil is to expensive (Revox, for example, demands an arm and a leg...100 ++ smackaroones and others still 60-70-80) you buy a larger one, cut it accordingly and isolate/seal the edges or laminate it. You may look out for foils with multiple contacts - it may be even cheaper...

They don't fail/die in the sense of a lightbulb or LED for example, they just fade away with time - the filament (or something like that) wears out with use and time...I guess simmilar to vacuum fluorescent displays. So, it's plausable that both are equaly worn out. It can be the inverter's...

Hi, I have no clue, but I did my share of reading about EL foils. They fade with time, inverters are rarely the culprit. I likely am wrong, but hey...my Revox B285 receiver is iluminated from behind with an EL foil...there are but a few of these around. So, if I pulled it of , you most...

As long as you enjoy it...

Depends on the point of view. If you go the science route, equipment exceeded human hearing decades ago. The only technical improvement I can think of, due to progress in materials, is with transducers (microphones/speakers/headphones). This regards the High Fidelity of reproduction/recording...

Well, that's easy...it takes one to know one. ;)

Yes, but not to your immediate satisfaction, sorry, I wish I could. Open a new thread regarding your problem and state the brand and type of them as well as of the amp...any kind of measurments and detailed occurance description can't hurt either. Good luck.

Don't! Losless is losless, however you twist and turn it, period! Any difference in sound you migt have noticed is due to mastering/mixing/and what-not and not due to format/standard...or wishfull thinking. 16 bit 44.1 kHz exceeds your/mine/human audible perception quite easily - especially at...

You weren't completely wrong/sober. Lovely work though!

Just saw the movie with Meryl Streep, so...

Well, the next time you better enjoy a shot of penicillin with one of his movies, instead a bucket of popcorn.

... ...eeekhmmmm...

Well...to be precise, it's Ministry of Silly Walks. John Cleese was also great in Fawlty Towers...

Well, yes, that's the venue where the sensational abilities of my vocal cords get to be unleashed. I even stream each of these unique performances for free, for everybody to enjoy...down the drain. Don't you? BTW, I like duets best. ...back to the topic:

Indeed!...and I even haven't start my career yet - just ask mia doccia.
