Re: Simulator is a good idea, and lineup can use other transistors...respecting curre

Simulators have two problems...
the first is that we have always to adjust something in real world.

The second, the main one, is that simulator is unable to tell us how the amplifier sounded...this needs humans listening.

But i will be happy to see some simulation too....but human informs, related audition, are more precious.
.


We use maps, instead of REAL THING
when planing a travel

Shooting people into space
needs some investigation BEFORE the real thing
Use simulation is the best way.

Because would NOT be good to send them into SPACE
just for investigation and Training!
For a first test only :D

I use to say this:
A model in my Audio simulator can give me a hint
what circuit of A and B
is probably going to give better performance??


The values I get from THD etc. in my Sim is NOT going to be real world values.
But if testing different circuits, under same simulation conditions
we may get a good hint, what is better and not so good.


Even big amplifier chip manufacturers use Spice Models
as well as famous amplifier designers.
I am sure Nelson Pass, too!

Because a Spice Simulator, using as good models for components as possible,
:cool: is a wonderful TOOL & HELP.

It is not for real, but with today's CPU Brain Power
we can come very close.

You may say:
Using a TOOL, Hammer to put in a nail, is Cheating ....
The real thing is to Use your hands ONLY :bigeyes:

What makes humans a bit different from most other animals
is ........................ The Use of TOOLS and Clever Brain & Tricks![/b]

If horses were as smart as people, they would rule man.
Because in BODY POWER one little human is Nothing.

Re: Try to listen your simulator and you will see how perfect they can be.

Of course it is usefull....reason why they exist.

But they serve to almost nothing BEFORE the listening tests
and the listening pleasure.

I have a different opinion here, my friend.
I would never use any listening tests, to decide any detail in amplifier.

Using real Amplifier + Oscilloscope, YES!!!!
It is not perfect.
But is good .. especially if using real loudspeaker as load
and so test only at very moderate output level.


This comes from my strong conviction
- that Human can not hear distortions below 0.1%
- while a good modern Oscilloscope, correctly set up
- can show as low level as 0.001% distortions .. maybe even lower


This is a factor of 1:100 = 40 dB !!! :D


:cool: Humans think they are the perfect ones :cool:
When in fact, most animals have superior hearing.
In another league!
And the tools we can use today
is so far beyond what human senses can detect.

If somebody said:
"I can see tiny tiny molecules is that pieces of sugar at table here!"

Then we would say:
"Sure, you can." :D

But any sensible persons would think he is a fool. And be very correct ;)


It is my logical conclusion, that the same thing goes in other areas of human perception.
Like detect very very small electrical impulses and sound waves .

Imagination is good. Correctly used.
But we must not confuse and call pure imagination is for REAL.
It is very good to know the difference.

whos the winner ???

Dear Destroyer X

Hii nice to know you

I saw your posting in NX 150 :angel: and DX amplifier too :hot:
and you said the both product is the best :D

It is not possible to me to build those amp [ i build 400 W - ab ]
but maybe i can hear from you which the best between NX 150 with DX 100 :D :D :D and what is plus and minus factor between
those amps

IMPORTANT !!! If you say NX 150 Better than yours, i will call u
SHIERLY :hot: :smash: PLEASE TALK WITH HONEST HEART & EARS

best regards

Yes, it is better in many things..but do not win related voices resolution

Alike every competition, human competition...for instance...box figth.... not one is the total and complete winner..as both had finished with their noses smashed.

My amplifier is simple.... cheap......the 150 is cheap...but not so cheap...also not so simple.

It is apples compared with bananas....for sure they are fruits..but so different they are..... Bananas can make a small kid grow very strong...and Apple can make him grow very healthy...and not so strong phisically.

Yes.... the Anthony Holton is a better one...but not too much.

He could not smash my toy amplifier...hehe

You are beeing bad with me..forcing me to say those things...you...you...you...bad boy.

regards,

Carlos
 
Hii ... Destroyer X :devilr:

How Do You Do ;) Nice to meet u ... too :D

In our live, friends were came and the hero always born :cool:

As a reader in DIY Audio Forum, actually i love your comment about everything, expecially solid state because you always honest and telling the truth [ i hope so :) ] and it is so natural.

Sometime we must test someone, is he honest ? :angel:
is he my friend ? :angel: can we trust him ? :angel:
even with his newest creation :angel: salute for u, carlos

Its OKEY you lost today :D but i believe tomorrow you have
the best inovation :angel: I pray for you Carlos and DIYAudio
Forum still need the best comentator like you


All the Best
jeffry widjaja


sorry for my "BAD ENGLISH"
