What would be the efficiency of such a loudspeaker, anyone ?

Very low. We were clipping a pair of 4000's into the system,
so much so that we loaded down the AC lines, which caused the
tape tensioners of the source to relax which interrupted the
music which tensioned the tape which brought back the music,
repeating about every 2 seconds.

:cool:

"nix fingerpoken" referred to the approx. 10 KV on the grids.

I was just joking ;)

even if I'm on dialup,I have full account (can be always on line -for small fee to my ISP,and I pay just phone line time -to phone company....)
time is no object ;)
I hope soon will be on wi-fi


:smash: Speaking of wireless. Here is me sitting on the couch watching csi with my new Apple MacBook Pro :) Wireless rocks. It's so funny how many people don't secure there networks.. They unpack it plug it in, it works they leave it alone WOLA free wireless :).. Altho in this case im using the gf's wireless at her house :)
 
Signal Strength Low!!!!! : (

seeing as i can barely get a signal from one end of the house to the
other with my wireless - i don't bother securing it.

if you can get a signal from the street i'll shake your hand!

(said house is 2 bed / 2 bath)

the guts of the Forte amps look cool :) ...you can see the family
resemblance to the Alephs.

do you mind if i ask which Technics design is referred to in the scriblings of your holiness ?

The one you want is the Sano, Hirosha, Hirota design, patent
# 4,115,739. What you might also enjoy is my patent
# 5,343,166 which takes the concept and exchanges voltage
for current.

In science fiction movies they often fix the problem / kill the
monster by reversing the polarity, and this approach
has general utility.

:cool:

It has occurred to some here that a cast iron radiator might be a decent companion to a water cooled Aleph. Or just bolt the output devices to it close to the bottom!


You could fill it up to the vent hole with water for high power operation. I have a couple. Where do you want me to send them. Shipping to Ca. will be $ 450.00.:whazzat:

Yup, the idea was to use them filled and get a thermo-syphon going.
That's why I suggested the mosfets be mounted low.


I saw portable oil filled electric heaters that look like radiators at a thrift store and they might be best. They already have a power cord and little wheels to move them around- also they are sheet metal not cast iron so they would weigh a LOT less. Thanks for the offer though!
