John Curl's Blowtorch preamplifier part II

PMA can be quite annoying, just like me. I get 'binned' for it and am on permanent moderation to prevent me from 'offending' anybody. Still, I soldier on, keeping my 'faith' in listening results and experience with exotic designs and products.

What is that? Are you pulling our collective legs?

delay of musical texture, I like it.... but I can't relate to it. What is it. I'm equally puzzled as Mr. Didden.

BTW Joao@AltheaMusica: You tell nothing about your background. It can be a good idea to do that because I think some of us prefer that. For me it's very good to know if I'm dealing with a student or an old geezer like Mr. Curl, Pass, Didden etc.

Aww, Jan, it's not many people who can call John "Sonny."

IMO and IME, every time you try to damp an electrical 'resonance', (rising response, peak, due to whatever-no matter it's source or cause) -you damage signal. It's a tough one, for sure. it's a case of tradeoffs, at best. That's where the ear must step in and be the final decision making point. The ole' hafler circuit thing that come along with their XL-280, design comes to mind. Nice bit of electrical design work - It made pretty numbers and graphs.

Pity it didn't do much for the sonics.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The snow fall has negative time delay this year in Europe, it has occurred very early.

Musical texture means the deep interaction of the music, you can call it inner details or inner dynamic if you like. For me it's very important that the music reproduction opens your heart and mind and that the system is absent during listening to music.

Onto some education etc. I don't like that because I don't need the universal pride of price. Anyway in short...

I'm an electronic engineer of telecommunication and IT consultant. My experience in audio is around 30 years and I had the luck to have some university lecturers which worked in companies like Siemens/Klangfilm or HF engineers for Telefunken.

Musical background is that I had some turors which are university professor for music history. I play music myself and have contact to musicans.

OK, I think thats enough. Maybe I'm do not have such detailed knowledge like some others but I have knowledge of music and I'm sensitive regarding that.
