Re: Wish me luck
Seems like mathematicians abandoning exponents. At least there not using Ångstroms.

Re: Wish me luck
Oh, I agree with ya there. Measuring larger distances, especially without my bench glasses, would be headache inducing.

I'm still not buying any overpriced red transformers. If they're the only xfmr company left I'll eat crow and go sandy state.

More popcorn! Eleven pages and not slowing down. As divisive as the other internet puzzle, is this dress blue or gold.

I like working in Metric. Precision in sub- meter lengths is better/faster. We should have gone metric in '72, when Nixon said we were converting. Of course industry wasn't interested in the changes expense. Hence the 355 mL beverage cans. Still 12 ounces but now we're metric!

Re: PT reverse engineering problem
Odd they used brown, blue.and green for.a.secondary winding. Being generally used for primary wiring. Is the xfmr damaged? Wires less than an Ohm sound shorted, no?

Re: What do you believe regarding the sound of passive components?
And lately reality needs dithering, or more bias to calm it down a skosh.* I think more negative feedback. *from Japanese sukoshi [skoh shee] meaning "a tiny bit" Kore wa nihonese des ka? I remember little of the Japanese I learned as a youth in Hawaii. High bias voltage, Negative Feedback, and a r...

Re: What do you believe regarding the sound of passive components?
Distortion.. how does your amp growl. Listen to Nirvana All Apologies pre-roll. You hear tape, but you also hear the machine noise of several open tracks. When it plays on the radio I shiver. DSOTM in the most dynamic spaces has a different machine noise. It is not over-biased and it is a different...

Re: What do you believe regarding the sound of passive components?
A second principle effect, like the residual 60Hz in the tweed Bassman affecting the tonality? I guess that can't be ruled out. I was thinking of noise as just noise. I should accept that things are seldom so simple.

Re: What do you believe regarding the sound of passive components?
I thought differences in dielectrics was settled science and the debated issue was, could these differences be heard. Or rather, how to test subjects conclusively to prove to those that can't hear differences, that these differences exist as some can reliably detect them.

Thanks for the thorough explanation. The grid leak is 15k rather than 1M.

Re: Tube effects loop
I guess I'd have to see your math. This loop uses a cathode follower topology doesn’t it?
