In 1961 i discovered the best sound
I save one Senheiser headphone from my television station fire...burned and smelling a lot.... they used microfone cartridges...500 ohms each one..half melted....but the coil not touching the gap where it travells...i paint to avoid the smell...put cushions with a hole in the center...constructed a class A amplifier with BC107, one 9 volt battery powering the circuit.....the best sound ever heard by my person.....the microfone cartridge, used by Senheiser was soft and moved with your breath...this way, bass was wonderfull... and killed immediattely the sixties ideas that need big speaker to reproduce 20 hertz sound!....not real, direct to ears things change a lot...no reflections, absortions no problems.
Them i decided to find some "standard" sound that could match that one..... i never found..... i already had this idea, that will never find...but the "game" is going to find....
Now a days, today....JLH stays in the top of the list... despite i can feel something strange when it reproduce in its limit... the distortion is strange....other one that is wonderfull is Aksa, but this one have to came entirelly from hugh....no way to do it in home...tried yesterday to make a clone.... no way.... must be his parts.. some value not standard or easy to find.... at least JLH can be made with junk. I did not compare the JLH with the new upgrade aksa that i have now.... i am afraid that will be very difficult to decide the one....but..... if i decided that JLH is better, or if i perceive aksa is better..... this will be not the end to me..... i will start to find the one that can beat the winner.....always trying to reach those perfect sound i could hear in past, and also i have one modern as reference in my house...made with phillips headphone...unfortunattelly, no more BC107A.
I know that i will never beat the headphone...because of phisics characteristics and acoustic characteristics too... also because simple... this way...hard to beat....you can find one better with 100 transistors....but JLH uses few units!......this way, can win because of this, and loose because of that!..... and this is the game's secret..... will be a never ending history..... if ended....what i gonna do?
Congratulations to the ones that can hear the 480 , or the others correlated sound machinery.....very special tollerant man they are..... my .12 gauge, double barreled is ready to help you, when you realise that thing quality.....good to make a high speed movie.... good to see the board exploding when 2 shots reach them..... i love to go back and see again....hehehehehe
