D'accord aussi ;-)D'accord. I only wrote *fully* explain, and this would be a problem, wouldn't it?
Yes, AP2722. And -160 with 725D and QA401 on monitor.
some time in the not-too-far future,. but cannot now. I am not in Bangkok any more.... was there for 2 months but In California now. No amp here.
a very small portion of my T&M gear --->

What is actually your point with this post?
You claimed that you can measure -160dB THD
And you post some meaningless pictures of equipment that isn't even close to measure something like that.

Navigating safely between the shallow waters of objectivism and the reefs of subjectivism does not leave us enough leeway ? ;-)Sorry, more seriously: This is the question I always ask. To my impression, we engineers do not take seriuously enough the other side in us.

Just that I can measure all sorts of things you/others might be interested in or want to know. I am constantly adding to the 'warehouse' -- last week I added an HP 4192 to my stock of T&M gear.
You don't seem to know what you are talking about -- The ShibaSoku 725D is shown. It will measure direct off the front panel meter to -130dbv. At the monitor port and with Qa400/401 (FFT) you can see another 30dB lower = -160dbv. This has been proven during eval of Davada's ultra low distortion generator discussed else where. His gen was clocked in at -145.

Some People that shop at Wal Mart call it Waly World cause they do not know how to say Walmart very good. Walmart carries a lot of cheap things the finer things are not at Waly World cause they are not affordable.

Do you have a link to where you have proved that you can measure -160dB THD?

You will find it in the Equipment forum.
-160 harmonic level is the floor of the test system. can measure harmonics down to -160dbv.

Thank you for another meaningless post.😛

Reoder, apparent master of empty one liners. It would be much more interesting if you checked your wit and focused on expressing your technical argument instead. Attacking ideas is permitted, attacking members isn't.
Thanks
I'm only saying that he is not right.
BTW: should I change my name or is it OK that I say that you are not right?
It is not Reoder, but Reodor
Cheers

I would strongly recommend you reread(?) the forum rules, and feel free to change your name if my typo bothers you.
You may have a perfectly valid technical objection to previous remarks, without stating it it is hard to know whether you are just a trouble maker or someone with a good point to make.

For example... here is calib with -80db tone added to a 990Hz tone at 1v rms.
I take two gens and mix them with passive resistive divider --- measure each level at analyzer etc.
You can see it as well as the harmonics of Davada's newly designed generator at 990Hz... In the -140's. -160 floor.
It isn't hard for me to measure power amps, either.
Reodor -- what is the good point you wanted to make?

This leads to a question. How can-we explain the differences we can feel in our listening experiences, between two different amps with close performances like those ?
It really were a pitty, if we could fully explain that. Then the magic of our hobby were lost ...
😀 At least, don't lie to your ears. Do not use the small numbers make you lie to yourself.
Completely in accord. One can feel home both at 'objectivist' and 'subjectivist' sides.😀 At least, don't lie to your ears. Do not use the small numbers make you lie to yourself.

Wile I am waiting for 200W CFA boards to arrive I found a time to finally finish my 120W CFA with lateral mosfet OPS. It was waiting to long time, I don’t have excuses not to finish it earlier.
It is simpler version of 100W CFA with vertical mosfet OPS, no enhanced VAS, simulated distortion is of course higher but still low enough. To my ears it sounds very good. And yes it uses same tape of the compensation I use now in all my power amps.
Attached the gerbers if someone is interested. Sorry for elongated shape, I designed that way to accommodate it in to chassis I used before for JLH 80W mosfet amp. I even left the original JLH voltage regularor, but used only +-55V output.

Hi Damir,
this all looks very, very impressive.
And as you said, it sounds good to your ears. What else could one wish?
Happy listening,
Matthias

Ah you know Matthias, one is never satisfied always wants something new and not always better.
