Post Subject: Another very interesting Water Drop’s behavor.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/19/2007
I detected that the Water Drop tweeter has VERY interesting ability to react to the stage of out stage. I am driving the Water Drop with a full range Melquiades SET. As you know the full-rage Milq use a moderate Lindale transformer with a juts 200mA gap. So, the usual cruise operation of the Milq is 230V at 180mA on a full 6C33C… What happen when current run over or near 200mA. The transformer dives saturation… but what happens with Sound? Of course it goes gown, the question is how much down? Usually the saturated transformers very easy spot by bass, well not VERY easy but it is audible. However with Water Drop it is very different. As soon the plate current approaches to 195mA the sound of tweeter changes Boolean-like and become a razor-sharp hard and VERY brutal. I have seen some tweeter react to SET saturation but I never seen so aggressive reaction. Any explanation why?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
