Post Subject: The grand scale of the concept.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/23/2011

What you guys are missing is a grand scale of the concept. You are talking about voltages, implementation, electric chairs and the rest of irrelevant crap but I am talking about the pure inspiration from the concept. No one runs to solder anything. If they do then I do not mind somebody got blown away by a 5kV capacitor – I hope it will be a republican. The point is not about a factual amplifier but the concept of getting bass that was not heard before.

I am sure not a lot of you hear sound of more or less proper playback with “interestingly” reproduced upper or midbass. I would not even mention the lower bass. However if we mention it then I would like to point out that we do not have any tool to amplifier bass except PP SS amps that are not truly able to do bass properly due to crossover and thermodynamic distortions. I am not talking about the fact that we have no speakers or very few speakers that are able to go for proper bass.

If some of you still feel that you know something about bass then let me ask you: how many of you even heard a playback with “interestingly” reproduced region of 10-20Hz by whatever acoustic system it was and driven by a single ended, class A1 amplification free from SS thermodynamic distortions? I do not think I will hear a lot of rise head and you will not see my hand raised as well. But I would like to hear it.

The concept is that I would l would like to hear let say DC-coupled Milq with 8 parallel 6C33C driving 1.5:1 out transformer gaped 2.5A with core able to get 2Hz of first clip at 160W. I just would like to hear what it is, even that that I intellectually understand that sub 20Hz is very problematically distorted on the recordings. Still, I would like to hear it as I would like to get a reference of what is possible by mean of audio. Sure I do not build anything like this but I would like to say, and no one else does to the best of my knowledge but I would like to declare that I have interest in it. In one way or other I would be pushing the concept, not implementation but the concept. Some of my observations in the neighboring fields suggest that there is a lot of to fish in the ULF world if to use it creatively. Who knows, perhaps another day someone would be inspired with the idea, knock in my door and will drag into my room a refrigeration-size amplifier with a pair of fire extinguisher built-in on the chassis… If do not dream about it then no one will knock at your door….
