| Importance of input tubes to sound quality? ^^ FWIW 12AX7s and 6922s are **not** interchangeable. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is what 186,000 miles per second, right? And in a conductor it is a large fraction of c, let’s say it’s 80% of c or about 150,000 miles per second. That’s close to c, and that’s why I refer to it a... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I never said they did travel at the speed of light in cables.Really? Wut up?:As I said previously RFI/EMI is light speed due to the photons involved whilst the other - magnetic field - is stationary. The audio signal moves VERY rapidly. It moves ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Turns out signals in cables don't travel at the speed of light anyway:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_factorIt would appear that Geoff has opened a new branch of physics. If you can slow down photons to the degree upon which he insists then... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Dear atmasphere: You was the person that in 2011-2012 posted that we can’t overdamp the TT/platter TT " and from your today post sure we can overdamp if we interfere with its natural movement.I suspected that was the case and so made sure that I... | |
| Importance of input tubes to sound quality? The input tubes on our amps are the most important to the sound, assuming that the power tubes are good. The fact is if the input tube does not get it right, the rest of the amp can't make up for it. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps The ZERO will not kill dynamics. The ZERO is a problem solver, used when someone wants to drive a speaker that is lower impedance, perhaps too low for the OTL to do on its own. All you have to do if you don't want to use the ZEROs is get a speaker... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The 'why' is I was simply dealing very directly with the statement you made which I quoted above so the context is very immediate. Here it is again:Electrons carry charge, whereas the music signal is an electromagnetic EM wave so it (the signal) ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Electrons carry charge, whereas the music signal is an electromagnetic EM wave so it (the signal) must travel in a conductor at near lightspeed. In order to travel at that speed the wave must be, physically, photons, not electrons. The electron... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon-From the page:A photon is massless,[Note 3] has no electric charge,[12] and is stable.However it also states that it is a form of EM radiation.However the signal in a cable is not carried by photons. A better c... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Geoff, its really obvious that you did not read any of the links to basic information about the nature of EMI and RFI. Don't worry about me, you still have to get 'yet on the same page' with some of those basic rules to which those links referred.... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? there is still the problem that very few people have the playback equipment needed to track it well much less not have the stylus jump the groove. So it only makes sense to produce such a product at higher cost and profit margin since only a... | |
| High frequency distortion? I recommend a complete setup on the arm- set the stylus overhang, check the rake angle, set the tracking weight, etc. Use a protractor to see the overhang; you can't do that any other way! | |
| Tonearm recommendation There are two kinds of damping used in tone arms. One is damping of the arm tube- in this case its impossible to overdamp it, except that there might be the issue of adding too much mass to the arm!The other is to damp the **motion** of the arm. T... | |
| Speaker Pairing to Tube amp (Please help) You might check out Audiokinesis- Duke's speakers are very easy to drive as his efficiency ratings are often higher than 95db 1 watt/1 meter and they are also benign loads for tube amps.He is now in the greater Dallas region. I'm pretty sure he ha... |
