Toroidal transformer on tube amp
@dafox  From BAT’s website for one model: VK-90t also means there are no tubes to bias; no fuses to replace; no pentodes imitating triodes; and no direct current at the tube output stage. VK-90t is the sound of the future—and musical truth. I...

Better to ask professional drummers who they admire most and I guarantee Neil Peart won’t hit the top ten. Really now ..... https://ledgernote.com/blog/interesting/best-drummers-of-all-time/ https://drummagazine.com/60-best-rock-drummers-... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
No I meant in a much more simple fashion, i.e. a portion of the output is subtracted from the input. Literally negative. It would technically be out of phase but that is by definition.  When @teo_audio writes positive feedback, does he really mea... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
Thank you @atmasphere , skimmed the linearaudio link, will delve in later. Looks like it will not be that hard to follow. In addition to what you write, is not the negative in negative feedback, simple because it is subtracted?    
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
It has become an interesting thread. Two people are talking about negative feedback. One clearly understands the topic and appears to be able to talk about it in great length. The other appears to talk at great length. It is up to the reader to de...

This is text from what I believe are one of of Silversmith’s patents and while it is not specific to the ribbon, it relates to the thought process. @dgluke , I am not sure if your comment was directed at me, but I think I read the marketing sheet ...

Mahgister, by the simple act of posting what you did, which could be wrong, you are, are you not, pretending to be right? I agree in principle there is a better correlation to what can be readily seen in a photography image and how a person will ...

@yoyoyaya  Interesting to compare. Camera performance can be objectively measured and everyone seems to a accept the results. Camera sensors have reached an asymptote in performance with only small gains generation to generation now. In photograp...

@roxy54 , my inability to spell often has funny unintended consequences.  
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
I am going to try to answer your question with a completely different answer than every other one I have seen. You asked WHY. Not what makes the most sense, but WHY. Why do some people have far more money in electronics than speakers. I think for...

This is his intro @audioman58 , you may be off bass with your sonic bliss comment. I'm a music lover and former musician, broadcast and recording engineer. I was earning money in audio engineering and selling my own original music recordings lon... 
Toroidal transformer on tube amp
EI core transformers have inherent air gaps where energy in the magnetic field is stored, toroid transformers do not. If you get any DC bias on a toroid transformer, the inductance will change by a large amount. That’s bad. It will also stay magne...

If you mean me, then no, I am quite sure that I read it quite correct. However, it contradicts itself which is not my fault.

If you turn a troll post into intelligent discussion they lose. If you just get angry, they win.

@cd45123  I popped over to their website out of curiosity. I don't there there is any way to determine the inductance as it would be conditional on how close or how far you kept the two conductors from each other. There width would negate some of...
