Hi,
Whether you are an enthusiast, a technician, or an engineer, a physicist, or a mathematician, a brilliant designer or a simple listener of your favorite Music which was/is your contribute to the evolution of Audio?
Or, besides yourself who was/is in your opinion a real contributor to Audio for a good sound in the design of amplifiers or loudspeakers or any device, and why?
My feeling is that the real news in Audio design are few, or am I wrong?

Who ever designed first class AB amplifier.
I dont think my mobile disco would have worked very well with a 225WRMS class A amplifier.

Shannon and Nyquist. They were way ahead of their time and without them sampling theory and digital audio wouldn't be a thing.

In the same spirit, I'll mention Ed Dell.
I've had an interest, both technically and musically, in audio reproduction since probably age 12. My interest took a leap in college when I saw the 1977 Audio Amateur (thus the Ed Dell mention) on how to make a Heil AMT tweeter. It was a lot of money for a magazine at the time, $5 or $7 or so, but I recognized it as a "special interest" and Something I Really Needed to supplement my EE education. I still haven't made one (or two) AMTs, but the interest in it is still there.
Even with my engineering knowledge I'm unlikely to make any notable contribution to audio reproduction, but I'm hopeful to do something with musical instruments.
Joe, at this point all I can do is put my name on the list and see what happens. They suggest there might be news some time in the spring. And yes, the first thing I will do with it is yard work. I have some blackberries that need dealing with.
Stay posted.
There are women on this forum as well, albeit not many. There might also be some non-binary persons.
The greatest contributors to music reproduction were whoever invented musical notation around 1400 BC, and those who further developped it.
Peter Walker of The Acoustical Manufacturing Company AKA Quad.

You're right: just edited.
Thanks! 👍
P. S.: I just came from a reading of a very rude post this is why I wrote "gentlemen"...
You could always describe something that has improved the sound in your system. 🙂
Just as an example, as far as I'm concerned, I have always been settled on the importance of feet and pedestals for audio equipment.
After so may years I finally tried the following ones in the pic (no interests with any manufacturer) and both in my opinion and in my system nothing beats them: all sounds seem to loose the contact with the floor, the rack and its vibrations.
There are very cheap and very expensive, I prefer the very cheap as the principle and the functioning is exactly the same.
I prefer to use 3 feet instead of 4, each foot is for 7.5 kg, but if the cabinet is light you can always remove some springs for a fine-tuning.
I didn't try them under my floor-loudspeakers because their plinth is too small to be very stable, but I'm thinking of adding an extended base to try them, even if there will be a large number of it...

this is what he reccorded, it was created from the original layout : http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/Scott-Feaster-No-36.mp3 Au clair de la lune ! Homage also was made in Space Odity 😉
