RE: Shielding Choice in SET Power Supplies

Posted by drlowmu on December 3, 2016 at 07:13:47:

Your amplifier design priority is incorrect. If you design for lowest noise, lowest ripple, the amp will NEVER play dynamically and it will be " dead as a door nail", compared to what others do now !!

Lowest possible ripple is NEVER a great sounding amp. It is EASILY bettered by newer designed amps with modern power supplies ( L.S.E.S. which stands for a low stored energy supply, or maybe a Flywheel ). These power supply types have " fast " power delivery, and they are able to provide precisely what is needed to the DHT Finals, on demand, to produce proper dynamics.

We are both discussing high efficiency speakers, I use 515Bs and 802Ds, horn-loaded.

Your name is new here on this Forum. If you reach me at my email address, drlowmu@gmail.com, I can send you ( or anyone else who may be interested ) back attachments - a chronological compilation of power supply posts, that will get you up-to-speed easily.

Welcome and have FUN up here !!
