I donât followâŚso pls clarify?
Iâm just being sarcastic. There is some argument that changing the pads on an Elex will result in the same tuning as a Clear. The one thing everyone agrees on is that their stock cables blow

there has been a lot of debate over whether there was any additional tuning done to the Elex other than just a, Elear with a Pad swap. I tend to think itâs more than
Elear + Clear Pads = Elex
But it keeps getting repeated.
The has turned into small number of people (I hope tongue in cheek) in some corner of the internet claiming that the only difference in the entire Focal lineup is just the Pads (easily disproven)
But hence the Meme here

I am replying to my own post to make a note of the fact that this was posted 18 days ago and I just got my little plastic baggy today (May 1st).
I just realized that post doesnât make any sense without the original post to put it in context. Doh⌠
18 days ago I ordered the driver tuneup kit for the Fostex TH-610âs and got it today.

yesâŚI was aware of these rumors / opinions on pad swapping. but the comment that seemed to indicate a cable swap wasnât possible befuddled me, as I thought they were all removable. they areâŚso not really sure why it was said, when the cables can be. 
How full are we talkinâ?
Furman makes no-BS, by-the-specs power gear. I used to run a Monster Power conditioner with my loudspeaker setup, and whether it made an audible difference I couldnât say, but I needed surge protection and the Monster was a sharp-looking solution
When I finally upgraded to McIntosh separates I went with a Furman REFERENCE 20-i conditioner. That beast weighs 81lbs and has a torroidal transformer the size of a bundt cake under the hood. Iâm pretty sure that if my house gets struck by lighting the Furman will punch the sky back.
