high damping
« on: 20 Apr 2015, 04:57 am »
hi
guys
today i want to draw your attention to high damping and how dynamics of sound are effected
high damping revolves around regulated power supplies and unregulated power supplies
but the main thing is negative feedback in regulated power supply and unregulated power supply
when the impendance of the amplifier drops magic occurs,things otherwise unnoticed sounds come into
center stage,solid state is at the forefront of such a concept,forget about tubes transformer resistance
and tube power limit this,looking at solid state you have high current devices at play,and according to
ohms law these offer low impendance,with tubes you have to transform the high impendance of the
tube by a transformer and this transformer has resistance that gets in the way of negative feedback
and high damping,is damping real? is the next question,speaker wires etc may falsely let you belive
high damping is confined in theory but isnt those wires part of the load! tube sound is thin and weak
when it comes to dynamics even with a good bassy transformer,unlimited dynamics potential can only
be realised with solid state,high damping and all around reproduction of music..

cheers... :thumb:

What about the wire to your loudspeaker or even worsted dc resistance of your speaker, and filter components?

High demping is killed by the loudspeaker..... transformers for tubes are so much better then your speaker
