Default This is Really pathetic

Has anyone seen this paper?

How did this moron get published? A monkey could have done a better job than this idiot. I can't believe that AES would actually approve the publishing of bad science like this. It must have been a Monday and they were all hung over.

That's entertaining. I guess Audioquest must be the best then!

.....in the report/paper, go to page 6, and on the right side at the top, read the first full paragraph that begins with the words, "The Damping Factor"....then, on page 7, also on the right side, read the first paragraph of the "Conclusions" section, which comments about the effects and results of a damping factor that is low....

The article seems to agree with mudcat's testing. Maybe it's time to do some cat5 braiding.

High output impedance affects frequency response, period. Bob Carver has demonstrated this with an external resistor in series with the amp and speaker. Nothing new. High output impedance amps are poor designs.

So, how does that make the paper flawed, written by a "moron?"

Only with such poorly designed amps that have high output impedance.

But when you lower the inductance, you increase capacitance and some great amps, like the Naim, will self destroy from oscillation.

.....8 posts on this thread and guess who has four....the site's resident nay-sayer to "any" report of something heard....I don't have a clue what the four posts say but I suspect there's foaming at the mouth with damping factor being the subject....HiFi, there's no doubt in my mind you heard differences in the two amps with damping factors of 40 and 100 compared....why?....mainly because you said you heard differences, and it's obvious you're mentally competent and would have no reason to misrepresent....Nick250, you were correct in your advice....this site became more enjoyable to me three days ago when I launched an ignore that won't change this time....I wish more people in their best descriptions would say what they hear with their equipment....and, you don't have to even see posts that are constantly negative......

But then the posts wouldn't make sequential sense.
