So Mozart, Jarre, Brubeck, Satriani, Oldfield, most of their music is crap? :Q

Did you see the massive SMD ones with 10 legs mmm lovely and the ripple current ideal maybe in Crossover for speakers, what do you think?? And maybe by using Arnold Magnetics Square Law cores you could build in a very good protection circuit. I have used them a few time's in SMPSU (at Advance Elect...

I had to design a amp for seismic detection it had to work from 10mHz to 10Hz, and the only way I could get good gain was to use a transformer, OK it would have been massive and the winding noise would be shit. So I mpx the signal at 100KHz and got Sowter to make transformer with 1:100 ratio, and t...

Oooo, they look nice.

Yeah, so the fundamental problem is that asking a single active device to amplify voltage doesn't work very well. BJTs have horrible distortion characteristics, FETs less horrible, valves less so again and can be linear over a small region. Nelson Pass's site has a good explanation on these differen...

I made a set of concrete lines speakers once. Serious threat to my toes, back, children, pets. Glad i didn't have them when the earthquake struck.

Good work. Did you do well ?
