| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? From a quick scan of military fuses it appears anyone can buy them from at least two sources, our old friends Littelfuse and Bussmann. I think the problem for audiophiles - aside from the obvious one, what they sound like - is that they are ap... | |
| Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only Just a thing that comes up when looking at internal shots of gear, is all. If looking at the guts of gear then it’s about how it’s built and with what parts and the solder is part of that.Solder was never designed (original purpose) to be an elect... | |
| Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only There is so much variation in components, layout, parts selection, and so on, that this subtlety can be swamped, if you don't know what to listen for.What it takes to really hear it and know it... is to complete a new piece of gear with about 3 of... | |
| Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only Every ROHS compliant solder I’ve ever ’heard’ sounds very subtly ’hard’. I even know of one company that will not sell into ROHS compliant territory..as the ’no lead’..... solder changes sonic signatures too much for their liking.It is a problem t... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Actually, you don’t need a lot of absorption. You need low to mid bass absorption.the rest is simple. Child’s play.The first part (the bass) is phenomenally hard. So difficult... that all known official measurement standards --ignore it. Pretty we... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers ambiguity can hide sarcasm or be an actual unintended ambiguity. which is why the sarcastic use it. | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Just a general bit of added gab: They don’t call them ’inferior desecrators’ for nothing.Very close to 100% of inferior desecrators and even architects do not take acoustics into account in their designs and finished product. If they do, they do w... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Most people here are operating 50 to 100 years or more in the past, in their day to day psychology and overall psychological basis.I simply grabbed one single story from today, Oct 3, 2017. there will probably be at least a few more. Just for toda... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? The problem that Geoff’s post proposes for some folks is that there is a tremendous amount of good scientific work to show where he’s coming from. the idea that the ’problem’... as a stated set of words, is not so easily created and uttered. As a ... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Loudspeaker design is done in the physical world, so it’s a set of balanced out trade offs, like most other endeavors. No single magic bullet of knowledge, just a set of skills and lore and raw talent ---applied to a problem that is in front of th... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? With all this and much more in mind....with the liquid metal wire, I went right after the fundamental carrier itself. I went after the complex impedance expression, right where it is created or interacts at the atomic level.If you take strands of ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Which is why I chase after the removal of all metals that have hysteresis issues, when involved in an audio signal. This delayed response tends to contribute to the harmonic structure of the end signal, smearing it across time and then being heard... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I even listed the signal and measurement requirements for a given measurement and its analysis to be comparable to what human hearing says the signal sounds like. I did this in some posts, a few years back, in the blowtorch thread over at DIYAudio... | |
| Slipping Belt on Thorens TD-150 The traction on a flt belt and a crowned pulley has to be controlled and also that there will be wear, and thus a slicking or shining of the surface of the belt and the pulley, but obviously the belt carrying the majority of the wear and becoming ... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? The oldest, most original, longest owned piece bought by audiophiles and music fans (music fans who buy gear-there is a difference!---they aren’t on this forum or any other!)...is probably:The Linn LP 12 Turntable. |
