Thanks
$100 per line item unless they don't have that many, $250 minimum, so I bought all their LME49...s in the DIP packages at great prices and 8 of the SSM2018. Way more then I needed so may eBay the rest.
Analog Devices products seem to get more money that the soon to be extinct National Semi stuff.
Jacco relax , I'm 49 I hear the crt buzz (16k ?) I haved suffer in the past tinnitus on dx ,nearly solved ,hearing test is ok ,all relate to life problem...I cannot hear digital in the past ,vinyl resolved the problem !!!! my TT nottingham analog audio hyperspace
the difference on loading resistor with speakers not headphone just to be clear

Lots of tiny talk.
Lots of tiny talk.
Tiny measurements to.
Simon7000 you posted an Audio Precision output of “one of those horrible resistor measurements”. I am curious, what were the test conditions;
• What was the resistor?
• What was the AC test voltage?
• Was there a superimposed DC voltage as well?
Will you show us a similar output of the AP, sans resistor, with the function generator looped directly to the audio analyizer?
Very cool tool!

For the frequency domain plot posted in post number 984.
• No specification for the DUT
• No test conditions stated
• No calibration data
• No credibility
I don't owe you anything particularly as you are too lazy to even do a simple search.
Credibility? To a troll? Not an issue.
Which reminds me that I ordered an article about resistor quality from Vol 1 Linear Audio on Nov 30 and still have nothing to show for it.
Hmm, they say they sent me a copy on 12/3... Well, I guess I should have done the download. Downloading works.
The article itself finds measurable distortion in every resistor tested, but typically at sonically vanishing levels typically well below -100 dB, often below -120 dB, and sometimes below -140 dB. That pretty well agrees with what I know to be common knowledge.
The testing procedure used seems to incorporate self-checking which is a big plus in my book.
Two more-of-less general rules seem to present themselves - resistor distortion increases at low frequencies due to thermal effects, and increasing the signal voltage across the resistor can be reasonably expected to increase the distortion. That should be no surprise!
Two words: sighted evaluation. Among knowledgeable audio people that means you are reporting that you are hearing whatever you want to think you hear.
Listening to music is not an exact science, it's an emotional thing.
How reproduction of sound is perceived is also an emotional thing.
The very reason why so many members at this forum are also passionate about other highly emotional interests than audio, either active or passive, e.g. ; food and cooking, beverages, cars, fishing, design, photography, architecture, art, poetry (or waka genres), woodworking.
On top of that comes a whole range of eclectic/esoteric views.
Percentages are nothing like a reflection of the society average, causality with the interest in audio/music is evident.
Boils down to that everyone is free to pick that which they perceive as the most rewarding to them.
However, that is not a free ticket to sell their views off as the absolute truth.
Anyone who makes continued claims that one thing sounds better than another, without factual evidence, deserves to be treated with as much factual criticism and lack of decorum as a Bhagwan/Hare Krishna assimilated who gets his foot in the door.
What you do/did is hook-up with fellow believers, and collectively promote your shared views on the web as the one and only truth.
Which is what can be ascertained as a dominant feature among those who are convinced they can hear the benefits of boutique items as Bybees, capacitors and/or resistors with a price level many times that of a standard industrial type.
For some, it's All they do at this forum : Post at threads such as these only, and only post endless repeats of the same unsubstantiated claims.

The same applies to those on the other side of the fence, btw.
Any EE engineer who continues to spread the word that THD in PPM range is the holy grail, deserves to be ridiculed.
You have a good one.
Fortunately there are very few of these about, except in the imaginations of the other side.jacco vermeulen said:

Agree a lot but not what I quote, you are totaly wrong with me!!What you do/did is hook-up with fellow believers, and collectively promote your shared views on the web as the one and only truth.

1) I promote what I learning here ,ie resistor sound difference (not better note well!) haved used Dale/panasonic I do my homework and find thaT caps and resistor sound different as half diyaudio thinks ..Jacco read more Thread ..
I use 6000€ Analog rig for load resistor info but I'm not snob, I still use dale/pana ....I like better cheaper KOA then duelundh on my tw go figure !then there is lot year diy work in my system ....
2) I push people to will be FREE to test at home and make is mind about sound of component! this to me is DIYAUDIO SPIRIT
I will repost my finding endeless You can put me in the ignore list or skip me
3) here a link on caps that I trust becouse I test al lot for my self http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html

That would be the half who majored in arts?
My rig cost lots therefore I can hear stuff you can't? Amazing.
Actually you try and make people feel inferior if they can't hear the magic of flooby.
ROFLMFAO. He is trustworthy because you feel he believes like you do?
Slow day and cold in the garden so need some reason to come in and warm up for a few minutes 🙂
Emanuele, come on, we've posted at the same threads for years.
You know very well I also enjoy TT's plus phono gear, and am fully aware you are not constantly promoting the most expensive caps and ladida resistors.
All you have to do is stop promoting nonsense, remove your slagon :
'If you can't hear difference between resistors then skip Hifi'
(Difference between you and me, is that I am able to irritate you to the point of placing me on your ignore list. For me it's fun to make banal humorless posts, and/or kidding comments, only ones who push my button are the mods when they assume I post insinuating/insulting remarks)

Belied by the tagline that goes with it.
This can be varying degrees of true or false depending on the situation.
The role of emotion in perception can be very strong, and it is an important consideration.
On the one hand if the sensation at hand does not have a positive effect on your emotions, you are probably doing the wrong thing. On the other hand if emotion is all there is, then there is a question of reliability and trustworthyness as it applies to others.
And, a person who denies the the relevance and validity of people who don't agree with him 100% in the presence of those people is not going to make friends of them.
A seemingly perfect example of a post whose goal seems to be seems to insult and then run everybody off this forum who does not agree with him:
