| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Unsound, what was the rest of that system like? | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Unsound- certainly! On some level I agree with you, I just want to know at what point does pursuing this one consideration of the many, lose sight of the total goal.That is a matter left to the speaker designers! I can say though that they have be... | |
| What do you look for in damping factor? Unsound, for that you would have to hear them. I know one person that used such speakers to replace a set of Carver Silver Amazing loudspeakers- he likes Duke's speakers better because they are smaller, are easier to drive, sound better overall an... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I like most others here, don't have access to such equipment. If this data is so readily available, why isn't it routinely being published?I might not completely understand what your suggesting, with re: to speakers and square waves, but to my kno... | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Kijanki, I'm a fan of the CMRR too. Makes life a lot easier :) | |
| What do you look for in damping factor? Unsound, what Duke was alluding to is that speakers can be designed using either the Voltage Paradigm or the Power Paradigm. In the case of one of the speakers he mentioned, he set the port resonance *below* the cutoff of the speaker. Now with a V... | |
| Tube amps known to have a low damping factor? In tube amps the loop negative feedback is a big factor in the resulting damping factor. For example an OTL can be built with a damping factor of 50:1 if you have enough feedback. IMO such a large amount of feedback does nothing to improve the res... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Unsound, you've asked a lot of questions and it may take a bit to answer them all. I think first it needs to be understood that human hearing/perceptual rules are understood much better today than they were 20, 30 and 40 years ago. I may have sugg... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Y'know, you probably *could* do it that way... lol :) | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? The best is whatever you prefer. There is no intellectual way to establish actual factual superiority without measurements and these forums generally decline that pathway when it is presented. This is an emotional experience that cannot be assesse... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Mike, If you have a large room that may be true. But if your room is average size (17' x 25' or thereabouts) then I would not be so certain. FWIW, the live transmissions over FM have to be compressed to fit the dynamic range of the medium. I share... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Dracule1, we investigated relay-operated volume controls and spent a lot of money in the process. They are quite good but a good quality rotary switch sounds better...Al, one *would* think that the shorter the cable the better, but even in the cas... | |
| What do you think of this preamp design? Kirkus, if that's a servo, as long as it is handled properly I would expect it to work fine. The schematic really did not offer timing data, and there should be some integration at the output of the opamp else the servo will not work correctly. We... | |
| mp3 based motor drive? If you have an audio generator you can do it that way too. The real issue is that the generated frequency has to be very stable! The best way I have heard of is to use a high frequency crystal-controlled oscillator where the crystal is heated in a... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Hi Al, If you put a 600 ohm resistance across a cable, which has capacitive, inductive and resistive aspects, the outcome is that the 600 ohm resistance becomes the primary aspect of what you are driving. The other things (which normally affect a ... |
