Re: Having a Ripping time with HDCD.

HDCD was a system introduced by Microsoft in the late 90's
Just to be precise. it was created by Pacific Microsonics in 1995, and then purchased by MS in 2000 which just about killed it.

Re: Is it OK for the government to knowingly break international law?

Can anyone please to explain to me, how and why the UK Government's approach to breaking the law discussed in the article quoted in the original post ISN'T a sensible pragmatic solution? I'm happy to admit that I'm no expert on International Law and the full complexities of Brexit. Maybe I can lear...

Re: £500 Valve amps

If you are up for this sort of DIY, you'll have a reasonable chance of making yourself a (near?) World Class (in the midrange) amplifier for that sort of money. You would be hard pressed to find a pair of output transformers that were anywhere near world class for that money let alone the rest of t...

Re: Dual mono or separate transformers for input- and outputstage?

1 simple rule of thumb for 50Hz , 1A on 10,000uf has 1V ripple. So now if the cap is charged to 10V (easy numbers) the ripple at 1A only give us a useful voltage of 9V with out clipping and 100Hz ripple noise. Now if we make a stereo 6.3W/ch what is the current it need from the 10V supply running a...

Re: Dual mono or separate transformers for input- and outputstage?

I don't have to have a full, wide and deep understanding of how or why something works to exploit the fact that it does. Of course, that's fine, I am not saying they shouldn't. What we started this about was your statement: As you know the capacitors also smooth the output waveform and a larger cap...

Re: Dual mono or separate transformers for input- and outputstage?

Doesn't actually matter who said it Then why did you credit it to him? what matters is what it says Yep, but in reality it doesn't say anything. Its well known one horse can run faster, but which one, that's the important bit. So, some things can't be counted, but some can, it matters which camp th...

Not a Albert quote.

If you are following that subjective approach why not start just connecting one wire. Or put a pot of yoghurt on the top. Or any other entirely random thing.
