Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

No buts...

You ask questions I cannot answer..

There are two things that are really bugging me at the moment...

1. What mad man harju said about 10 uSec lateralization delays being audible....somewhere, I've heard that before...of course, I've been saying 5 uSec.

2. The fact that Bill Haley and his comets are not a current band, with today's recording technology available..I made some CD's with fifties stuff for a n.y. eve party, and I can't stop singing shake, rattle, and roll.

From what I am seeing here, we are all saying pretty much the same thing, in different ways...I had this same argument with MTRY a while back, when I started skin effect measurements and wire inductance modelling solely based on the anecdotal accounts of others, with the desire to back into possible audibility...whereas he condsidered that a backwards approach..correct, he was, with respect to scientific methodology, but I consider the cows to be already out of the barn...so approach the problem from the opposite direction..looking for what is causing the anecdotal accounts..yes, one has to always consider the possibility that one is seeing what one desires, so my method requires closer self inspection and peer review...but it's fun.

Oh, JC....while I will acknowledge successes of designers such as yourself, I do not consider a list of publications one reads as an indicator of one's ability to understand those publications..I can drop the names of some, shall we say, "high end" physics guys I've worked with, but that doesn't necessarily mean I understand one iota of their work..

As for the power amps of today, when one views 5 uSec temporal accuracy at these impedances, all the amps that have been built today are inadequate...not a one has been designed correctly to that speed when pushing a reactive load in the 2 to 8 ohm region. And, not a one can test to those requirements, say 1 uSec for margin.....power load technology is entirely inadequate..and design layout is shabby.

Cheers, John

(see ya later, alligator...)

PS...tis a wonderful thread, isn't it!!!!
