“I heard some guitar amp modelling the other day & was quite surprised at how it’s possible to cheaply create a convincing facsimile of a range of different classic amps from a single device. This brought back memories of the saga of Bob Carver and his Transfer Function Amps of the mid-80’s, so I did […]
PAUL MCGOWAN … For those with a clear understanding, this is a good post to skip. For those still unclear about what it means when we speak of high and low impedances, this might be right up your alley. The simplest way to think about impedance is to consider it an opposer. The higher the impedance […]
I’ve just collected my pair of Tannoy Lancasters, which are in good cosmetic order but I’d like to take the grille off to examine the drivers’ cones. There does not seem to be an obvious way of removing the grilles, so maybe they are not removable as such? Can anyone enlighten me on this and […]

I wince when people equate op-amps with chips. An op-amp describes a topology, not a chip. Yes, the op-amp topology is often built onto a silicon wafer, but we should be careful not to forever bind the two together unless we’re clear about the difference. (If you’re technically minded there’s a great paper describing in […]
Vacuum tubes are considered to sound “fatter”, “warmer” and generally “softer” than their solid state counterparts. Does that mean they sacrifice resolution for sound quality? Watch Now
OUR AUDIO MARKETPLACE
PA speakers are used in some of the best concerts in the world. So, can they also be high-end and used to reproduce quality audio in the home or a club? Watch Now
FYI ONLY … NOT FOR SALE.
I’m all for blowing my money on hifi but I’m curious about how big a difference main conditioner make to your system, I use a cheap one myself and noticed a nice improvement in sound quality but are the more expensive ones worth it? Dip in and out HERE
It’s more than just camaraderie. To non-engineering folk, our conversations might sound like a different language what with all the terminology bandied about. But more than terminology is the implied understanding of bigger concepts. Terms like -3dB, half power, slew rate, open loop, rise times, wave shapes, carry with them major implications. If our depth […]
