Sorry George it usually fades of its own accord just like the cars and personal risk taking posts do.The food thread is live. Why so many off-topic posts here?

I'm interested in what all the people in this thread eat. It's similar to being more curious about what people you know eat in person, as opposed to taking random polls among strangers. It is the Lounge... (even if it gets moderated like it's not at times)
BTW before I started digging into more electronics stuff this morning, I indulged with a cinnamonroll french toast at some local place I had never been. Not my fav, but I had to try... I prefer day old sourdough baguette french toast, as opposed to all other french toast - nothing touches it IMO thus far.
On a further note, I was just discussion with someone about how power conditioners' affect on amplified instruments is almost impossible for countless musicians to comprehend until they hear it and even then perhaps not. They typically cannot distinguish the difference between quality of a sound, and type of sound.

You should ask them to answer in the food thread, all food topics welcome and it's still the lounge. Cold pizza for me left out all night.

I mean in that so far as they feel the prompt to post here.
We're not going to make it to Part IV without some filler.

🙂 😎
some 'audiophiles' too.
I was going to write an article on How To with data. A good DIY project that is super simple yet super effective. I like simple and max effectiveness 🙂
But now Linear Audio is no more. No Audio.... no TAA and now no L.Audio. Now what?!

I didn't know that LA stopped. Is Jan doing all right?
Richard, there is an "Articles" section in the forum.

Sounds yummy. I have never had baguette french toast nor have I ever come across a sour dough baguette. Is this a local thing? I suppose I could try to make one.BTW before I started digging into more electronics stuff this morning, I indulged with a cinnamonroll french toast at some local place I had never been.

Or could it be that they don’t expect amplified sound to be anything close to the real thing so they don’t bother paying attention to subtle differences? I reckon they are aware of subtle differences in real instruments.On a further note, I was just discussion with someone about how power conditioners' affect on amplified instruments is almost impossible for countless musicians to comprehend until they hear it and even then perhaps not.

Or someone who sells main filters has a vested interest in hearing things that are not there?
Everything is connected together so why shouldn’t a mains filter make an audible difference? At least in principle.Or someone who sells main filters has a vested interest in hearing things that are not there?
Having consulted some humans who get out more, it turns out I am surrounded by stores selling sour dough baguettes! Well I never.
Oh it's entirely possible, and the difference might not be for the better. But it's also possible with competently designed equipment it makes no difference at all. And I doubt there will be 'night and day' going on.
I think that may put too much burden on “competently”. I reckon the number of ways by which mains noise and impedance could affect a circuit are many and pernicious, and the better the circuit the more the small imperfections that make it through stand out. And an incompetent mains filter could impair the sound more, of course. For mainstream-fi they may well be worthless. I have never auditioned any but I have gone to a lot of trouble to isolate my amp from the mains.
Let me put it another way. There is very little published on the effect of power filterning on the output of a circuit. Lots of stuff on showing the reduced grot on the mains.
For a home build I would always specify the £7 for an electrostatic screen on a transformer. This is more for peace of mind. It would be interesting to actually get a comparison done of that vs an external power filter and std trafo std trafo on its own to get some data on if any of this actually matters.
But I am am outlier. Everything that can be will be run off batteries moving forwards. When I am finished only my power amps will have traditional linear supplies. Not for any audible enhancement mind, just because I can.

Different types and sizes of battery should sound different too. I've never
done any measurements.
There must be a market for "audiophile" batteries. 😉

Well in my case the batteries feed switch mode supplies. I have seen measurements on here of lead acid impedance vs frequency.
Thanks for those voicecoil measurements. Looks like skin effect when the real component is the same as the imaginary component.
Looks like the motor assembly has about 1.39x the permeability of air. I expected it to be more.
What about voicecoil harmonics when locked in place in the gap? Or inductance vs DC bias?
