    Designing vs. Voicing and Tweaking circuits and crossovers to get that sublime sound?

    For me the ratio is around 95/5... The initial design is worked out mathematically, briefly proven on test bench, then circuit boards are laid out. Once the bare boards arrive they are assembled and tested at bench level. Next phase is to assemble a loose approximation of the product with the...

    Munich show report by a guy who doesn't get it

    I thought the article painted a fairly accurate picture of how the "audio industry" is seen through the eyes of a different generation as well as a, for lack of a better word, practical perspective. Understanding there is a level of education necessary in any product produced to its extreme...

    Bully Sound Company BSC-100m

    Thank you for the kind words gentleman, I remember a conversation or two Mr. Aldridge, always a pleasure. I will be eager to release information on the new stuff as soon as it is ready to show, but now I must try and catch up to Dad's 210 score on Martin and Chris's scale. Second best amp on...

    NY Audio Show 2013 - My impressions

    Great Responses Alan and Gary, it is so hard to fulfill all of the different personalities at an audio show. Great variety is always a plus. Music is so personal and so few are truly open minded when it comes to music. Frankie goes to Hollywood on a great hi-fi is outstanding (particularly on...

    Bully Sound Company BSC-100m

    Well this an interesting thread :) I am certainly open to any questions but will elaborate on a couple of items here... 1. There are no cheap parts in any of my products. Everything is military grade or better, overbuilt and over specified in every category. The implementation is pretty clean...

    Krell KBL vs. Krell KRC-HR

    Mark, as you know, I think the KRC-HR is a better preamp overall and I have no skin in the game as I owned both and have heard them in several different systems. The KBL was a beast for sure, the low output impedance is a direct result of the output topology. It has many transistors in the...

    Purity and Sterility-Do They Intersect?

    Keep playing it, let it get settled... Takes about 3 days I found. Feat are made of EAR material, pretty non-resonant actually. Having fun with it I hope...

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Late 1980's 3rd Generation Krell~

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Yeah its like 4.5 or 5 it is among one of the most powerful amplifiers ever made period. It also had i believe 16-24 250v 30a custom Motorola metal-can output devices per channel. It could double its power to .5 ohms. We did all the jack hammer comparison propoganda around those amps, it was a...

    Indeed.

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Come on Tim, vinyl pressings of digital masters is the best.... ever. Teasing of course.

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Yes Myles or similiar... It is an interesting discussion. I think it requires some pretty serious microprocessing power to get it right. Imagine all the extra stuff :) How are you? Hope to see you at RMAF!

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Tom, This is definitely an interesting twist. I can say in my opinion and I am oversimplifying it, amplifiers on a whole are stupid devices and most I believe try to block feedback from the speaker with lower output impedances or perhaps some type of shunt. Amps that don’t address this are the...

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Tim, I think the other 3-4 could be left up to debate... I admire you being outspoken about this topic. I am proud to say my amps double below 2 ohms maybe even 1 if I had a big enough variac :) to test. My math says I should be able to double to 1 and still be in the soa of the output devices...

    Amplifiers perform audibly differently under different speaker loads?

    Tim, I think you have called out at least 6 of what should be the ten commandments in regards to amplifier expectations. At least for a product you would want to be sold to the greatest amount of potential customers. What is interesting barring a few, is speaker manufacturers taking it easier on...

    Components Specifications use and the Truth

    Definitely, you can have low or acceptably low distortion with zero feedback, and it's hard to argue there are not perks to doing this, but more to Atmasphere's point, there are many measurements that correlate to what we hear and everyone’s design criteria is different. Square wave response and...

    Components Specifications use and the Truth

    Thank you gentleman for your comments. A.wayne, I would like to see that... There is most definitly a correlation to distortion spectra and what we hear. Being able to measure this consistency along with frequency spectra could change the way we compare products and voice them for market. Could...

    Components Specifications use and the Truth

    This is an interesting discussion... As a designer and manufacturer, my use of specs is a baseline for consistency and a development tool. As an example, my BSC amps are around .06% distortion at 1K rated power into 8 ohms. I am happy with the performance that I get from this product, the ratio...
