SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
In any case what's false  is what you posted because I gave several evidences/facts/measures and in the 99% of those threads you was there and you never never proved with measurements that I was wrong, never ever. bla bla bla... I see now that ... 
POP sound when turning off TT
Sound like the snubber capacitor across the table’s motor power switch has either failed or is undersized. @bound4h, @testpilot called it on this one. There is supposed to be a bypass capacitor across the power switch contacts. It is there to p... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Is this what you are talking about? An 16 bit word length doesn't work as well as 24 bits, 32 or 64.  
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
@rauliruegas I attacked your post and not you. There is a difference. Your post contains false information. For example you claim to have presented ’proof’ on multiple occasions. At best you presented ’evidence’ which can be used to point at a pr... 
Do Amps matter.. in an Amp?
sure, as you said, it's a weird measurement since it doesn't reflect any real useful scenario of use. @dain Exactly. Class D amps most definitely have power supplies!! It can have an enormous effect on how they perform. I'm not saying this '... 
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
It’s not that " do not align with your measurements " because the issue is not about just measurements. All tube phono stages needs/necessary a SUT for LOMC cartridges and the ones active high gain tube ones are around mediocrity even the effort... 
Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source
being a guy in the land of 10k lakes, motor boating should be natural. 😎 (but it’s probably ice fishing season now,) @holmz  My understanding is the two happiest days in the life of a boat owner is the day he buys it and the day he actually is... 
Do Amps matter.. in an Amp?
Or to say in another way, this measurement was into a shorted load @dain I think you misunderstand- that current is not when the amp is driving a short, its when a short is placed across the power supply of the amp. The output section of a 1000... 
Do Amps matter.. in an Amp?
I’m stuck on amperage. Most product tout wattage, which I find misleading since the highest wattage amp I own has the least satisfying sound. My favorite amplifier claims >60 amps of current, and a few manufacturers state this measurement. But... 
Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source
With the motorboating clue, it would not be unthinkable that those small tubes are involved. @holmz The 12AX7 has more gain than a 12AT7. This can affect the amount of feedback that exists in the amplifier and can also affect something called '... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
So Ralph, are you saying that the data output (to be sent the the input of the Gan 1) sampled at 96kHz would not necessarily be a restrictive limiting factor to the ultimate performance of the Gan -1? I am. The limitation is in the word length,... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
If they are so worried about climate change why were we forced to use old technology like the combustion engine for over a 100 years. @phd For the answer to that, read Internal Combustion, by Edwin Black. Its fascinating reading!  
DC entering my amp?
@itball Pay attention to what @gs5556 says- he is giving you really good advice for getting to the bottom of this. I would add that if the preamp isn't connected and the DC Offset at the speaker terminals goes up, then the amp is at fault.  
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Sounds like this would be a limiting factor going into the GAN 1 which can accept up to 192khz rates. Am I missing something? Yes. Digital audio uses digital 'words' whose resolving power is determined by the number of bits in the word. IOW the... 
When were the best tube amps made?
Would be really interested to hear from an engineer and tube amp builder today who has seen and heard many generations of amps. @earthbound For the record, you did if you read this thread. What kind of power supply capacitors did Western Elec...
