| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .SorryI just thought maybe you had since it is exactly the same wording in this Crown paper.http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/amps/damping_factor.pdf. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Kirkus, good point, I didn't occur to me that somebody might be confused if they picked the incorrect meaning of EMF.. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .In a dynamic system, I rather doubt you can have one without the other.It is very easy to have EMF without a magnetic field. Voltage without a path means no current. No current means no magnetic field.Since the impedance is very low the current i... | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Electricity and magnetism are interchangeable. Not at all, they go hand in hand but are entirely different beasts. It is the magnetic field generated by the current in the coil that is pushing against the speaker magnet that dampens the motion. S... | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Liguy, did you cut and paste that from a tech for dummies web site?I think it is a rather poor explanation because it is the magnetic field which damps the motion, not back EMF.The amount of force it takes to move a generator (ringing speaker in ... | |
| First Watt: current vs voltage .Stan, sort of. For a given input voltage an ideal voltage source will maintain a constant output voltage no matter what the load i.e. no matter how low the load impedance goes and no matter how much current the load draws. This requires the amp t... | |
| First Watt: current vs voltage .Liguy and Bombay, you are incorrect. There is a night and day difference in the way current and voltage source amps operate. They are not just power amps.Some of the First Watt are current source amps and some are the more common voltage source a... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .Jed,I assume you include me when you say "few can be mean?"Why is it mean to offer an honest opinion that disagrees with his approach? I and others were trying to help him develop a strategy for choosing a component that fits his system.In fact, ... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... I am unable to let you confusing fellows here anymore, yes, I suggest you to shut up and quit this post,Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You ask a question on an internet forum and you are not always going to get the answer you hope for.As far as ... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .Quite the contrary. I added that in my considered opinion allocating percentages for each component is a waste of time. Others have agreed and as I pointed out the responses of between 5 and 200% reinforce that idea. I'm happy your 1/3 rule worke... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .Garebear, you are absolutely correct. The fact we now know you spent 1/3 of your budget on your digital front end adds absolutely no value to the OPs situation. With answers from a few percent to over 200% how is your 33% helping him decide what ... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .Love is about $100 for 15 minutes, happiness is a bit more.. | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .No, you accepted the answer you wanted to hear, some said 10%, some gave other amounts, some gave a dollar limit.If you think 10% is a good answer then more power to you but IMHO and others it is a worthless piece of information.. | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... .I see you just don't get it. Trying to peg a percentage to a component is an exercise in futility. As far as retail my system is probably 60% speaker, 15% amp. 15% turntable/cartridge, and 10% digital source/preamp. How did that help you?I was tr... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... Grand tech, you posted some prices. Is that retail or what you paid used. I think you would get better responses if you listed your actual components and what you are trying to achieve, what type of room you have and the size, what you value most ... |
