| Class D Technology In learning about Class D, it appears that after the linear signal is destroyed and turned into a saw tooth wave form, the output filter? tries to put the signal back together...doing an incredible job considering the complexity of this task...... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? How sad. Do the Birkenstocks at least live on?Heck, most hippies these days drive hybrids and drink kombuchas... but I've not had Birkenstocks for decades (they didn't hold up so well in the Minnesota winters; neither did my socks). But I still w... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? There may have been shear wave interference when it was actually cut. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Interesting. Can you elaborate on the last part of that statement? Ralph (with your perfectly coifed hippy mane) care to add to that line of thinking?Mane??I cut my hair back about 5 or 6 years ago and joined the establishment. Now I quaff kom... | |
| Dielectric grease on connection ends As a word of warning, the DeOxit in the red spray can is about as much as you want to use when dealing with connectors!This is especially true of tube sockets!! What can happen is the material can creep and contaminate connections, with the result... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models You will find a single ended amp to be more lush. To really appreciate one though, you need a loudspeaker that has enough efficiency that you won't run it over about 20% of full power (if you don't, you won't experience everything that SETs have t... | |
| Dielectric grease on connection ends ^^ This | |
| Dielectric grease on connection ends I would avoid it!The grease is used in high voltage connections to prevent arcing, especially in the case of exposure to water, gas and oil. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Sorry- but its pretty obvious you don't spend time with them, else we would not have been having much of this conversation. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I don't know what a "bent" transfer function is, but I'd need to know the specifics of the test. What frequencies, what levels, what amounts of each distortion type, and so forth. I know you can do the opposite: create more IMD than THD using a... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I doubt it, though I'll be glad to be proven wrong!Cripes...If you don't want to read through the whole thing, just scroll to the bottomhttp://www.stereophile.com/content/lamm-ml22-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurementsHeck, I'll quote it:(from St... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? whenever you have harmonic distortion (THD) you also have similar amounts of IM distortion (IMD). This statement is misleading. You can have a fair amount of THD and still have relatively low IMD figures. This is however a very common saw and oft... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, I read your posts several times. You didn’t describe a test you’re willing to take. Rather, you wasted several paragraph explaining why it’s impossible to devise such a test: Your cassette deck needs new rollers, a special platform must be ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, this is very simple, and you have danced around it repeatedly:If the "digital" artifacts you refer to are loud enough to be audible, then how come they don't show up in a standard FFT measurement? Or in a standard THD test that nulls the... | |
| Class D Technology call me stupid but what do you mean by a "Output Filter" ? A L/C for you amp? Thanks, I am thinking about a Bel Canto but have never heard them.Class D amps usually have an L/C filter at their outputs to prevent radiation of their switching frequ... |
