F6 Amplifier

[flocchini]

Only reaso why you need one is to understand why you like what you like. I just started playing with mine. Kinda fun😀 I thought you might like this. How does it compare to your xformer loaded f4? I am about to try a J2 clone.

To my ears the naked F6 has a bit more detail and the soundstage is wider. Maybe a bit more dynamics - you were right about the challenges of playing. In the end I will go with the sound I like but how to duplicate concerns me 😉
F4 is great with the headphones

best

Oscilloscopes usually will not help with distortion measurements. You need a good 24-bit 192kHz sound card and software.

If you need a good oscilloscope, I recommend a Tektronix 465. Used ones can be acquired through EBay for about $250 US.

Thanks

I will look for something I could use with my Mac

It is nice isnt it.

boyz

did I told ya that article is up ?

If you have luck with software that works with your Mac, please PM me.
I have been directed by MS users to try this and that, but I don't ever see anything that I am sure will work with a Mac.

Balanced input F6 ?

Would this work as a balanced input F6!

 

[Zen Mod]

it will work

as Silencer ......... and maybe even Input Jfet Killer

TRansformer kills common mode signals.....I think. That is one of its great benefits.

I am guessing, but i think i read that.

 

[Zen Mod]

nope

that's no reason , in this case

Can't we just pass a sine wave and see the FFT graph for harmonics?
(Provided that the scope supports FFT 😛)

Flochini have a look at Rigols. Very nice for the price

This any better ?

I run Visual Analyzer Visual Analyser 2011 XE using Wine Windows emulation on Linux. It will probably work with Wine on Mac OSX.

When you say things like "Wine Windows emulation on Linux" I have no idea what that means. I just want a program that runs on Mac OS and I don't have to program something to make it work.

Totally hooked on this amp. I will eventually wire up the Jensens to see if I can tell the difference between them and the Onetics. I will experiment with degeneration and the Onetics and ultimately for me it will be best sound but
Thanks

Bob

Robert, I could not find a website for the Onetics directly. Do you have the model and pinout of the unit your using?

Considering an adapter to allow one to plug and unplug these things.

 

[buzzforb]

Tea,
Search thread for BudP post. He put up the datasheet. I may have it. The layout is the same but the pinout is different.

Wine is software to emulate the Microsoft Windows operating system(s) on other other operating systems, such as Mac OS X and Linux. Here is some info about Win for Mac OS X MacOSX - The Official Wine Wiki.

lhquam, Zen Mod, dimkasta, buzzforb thanks for your comments. I have research to do

 

[labjr]

How about using an ADC and DAC like Metric Halo with 80 bit processing and digitally add the hamonic content needed for the best sound.
