You may think that 1 decibel is not something important.
Well, take a look....imagine that.
"The sound, beeing vibrations, air molecules compressed and expanded propagating into the gases (air), and also metals and liquids..... will reflect into your closed door.
the audio will return out of phase and may shake your window's glasses....reflecting again may find your back...as you have more fat tissue under the back.... the sit...hummmm...sit down first material to touch the chair...hummmm...will ressonate because of dissonance or ressonance of acoustic wave invertion refracted in the half environemnt...your back side....well....try to imagine that behind you....that has some screw......and the nut...well...the nut to beeing attached by the screw can be that small tube (use lenses to observe better) that boys use to eject some yellow body fluid.
Well...those dissonances, the oposite of cognitive ressonance refracted, may vibrate the screw.... it will turn to the side it can...opposite attachemt.... will loose your micro tube, it may fell down because unscrewed and the cat can jump on it and eat it.
So....1 decibel may be an enormous problem.
kidding, of course!...life is already serious..too much serious, have to work everyday... we turn old, our wives turn destroyed too.have bills to pay, some boering neighboors that believe that they know how to sing some awfull songs, your daugther boy friend finished with all you refrigerator's beer..... let's be happy, and have some fun.

Michael said that he do not agreed with those ressonances
He said that under 1 decibel is hard.
that's what he said...he do not understand about refracted dissonances ressonative under deviation...RDSUR.
He never heard nothing about that.
I also!
Well, i have to make jokes not to turn nervous...my daugther crashed my car against another one inside building's garage... beautifull!!!

AMichael!...a friend from Eastern Europe made his stock of sausages for winter.
My God..we have not those home made things here, but i have learned how to do them.
Here they come from many factories...we never know what they put inside.
This one i know what is inside...Paprika, pepper, salt, sugar, some red color, garlic....and maybe something more.
Very nice, this is delicous with potatoes.
by the way...on topic now, i borrowed some Black Gates from Aksa and installed in Symassym..... wonderfull!... the treble seems to be stronger, and more detailed...i have to compare...in some days i will told you if illusion or not....i think it is not illusion, as Hugh are using them for long time....in Aksa i did not tested them using it long time...but i did it with Symassym as i was using it to bother my "Singer Neighboor".... pumping bass till he stop to sing...and them i use the amplifier flat...hummmm, gut!
The big trouble with those things, is that after listen hi bass levels during long time, and switching to full range.... everything seems nice....i have to make a controled test!
My daugther smashed the air conditioned system and left suspension.... ensurance will take care of it.... 10 days without car...oh Christmas!....grrrrr!....had not competence to crash the other side as everybody does!

Hi Carlos, which ones did you replace ? The 100, 470 or 1000uF ?

that's my problem, i cannot resist to a pretty woman.... i accepted... I said!
No problems!...to her of course!...because to me...hôhôhô!... many troubles to have my car back in order Johnnyx.
Michael, i have one amplifier with small input condenser...it was using 22uf....in the input, the one i replaced was in that unit only
I have other unit using 220 or 470 in the input,the one inside the white case and using 42 volts supply....do not remember exactly if the 220 or the other... and it is inside enclosure now....the White one is used normally as sub bass, but i can switch filter off. I made it on purpose, i know that waveform turns sligtly different...but sounds nice.
The one i used to make noise was the smaller one....the one mounted over the small heatsink, the squared one.... this one had small input condenser.... a Siemens bipolar of 22uf...enormous related the micro black gates units...beautifull soundthe black gates produced, and the Siemens unit is not bad too!
I tried, the black gate, also in my speaker crossover...but could not keep it there, as i have 100 volts peak to peak in the digital unit, and the black gates are for 6.3 volts only....i perceived the quality, some instantaneous increase in level.... i have to measure...i have suspections that 22uf black gate may have 47uf...as i perceive the same result as a 47uf unit i use to compare.....very interesting.....those magic parts...very interesting... sound seems to be more detailed... volume increase was clear, and normally we do not perceive small increase of volume...normally is something around 3dB to perceive some!
There are moments that i think that i am inside some illusion...i will make serious testing about that.
I had some proves that those things happens with Silver Mica...but i think i am a little old to accept those things...so i accept not accepting, and i believe not believing.
Well.... having doubts!...snuberize them!

And where is the meat? He dont use meat for his sausages? Oh my god. Vegan sausages.

Oh!..i forgot, yes, it uses Pig meat, removed almost all fat...very selected parts
The guy that told me is from Croatia, and i could see pictures of the entire process of manufacture, step by step, dark sausages and normal sausages...the fat separation, the fat sub products...wonderfull, pretty good tradition, join all family to prepare together.
The family doing together, this is more important than the saugage....yes...if papper in the place of meat, could be tolerable too, as the family meeting is something that those ones will never forget.... when the sausages destiny, is something we all want to forget...ahahahaha!
Very interesting to know Eastern Europeans culture...very nice... and my conclusion, having friends all over the world, is that people is almost the same!...we need some Global, all Planet, Government....no flags, no limits, no countries...no differences...because in the reality, differences are related the land, the resources.. people, humans, are almost the same.

What i'm missing; Speaker Protection ...
printf("Hello World,\n"),
yes something from the "C" programming language.
As i has build the symasym V5.2 amp, i miss a Loudspeaker Protection Unit,
so i search over the web and this forum and found the "ESP Project 33" - Loudspeaker Protection and Muting on Elliott Sound Products.
What i need now, was a PCB and a set of relais.
I found an buy 10 pc. on Ebay with this tecnical data: 12VDC/250VAC 16A.
Ok, my first one side PCB for the "ESP Project 33" is ready
:
click on the image
Dimention: 8 cm x 10 cm.
What do you think?
Any comments?

Hi Uwe,
I have no experience with these circuits, but i often heard that relays in the speaker path reduce quality. Unless you don't blow up the symasym you don't need it... 😉 250v 16a should be strong enough ! I have not blown up any symasym yet... 😀
The symasym has no audible turn on/off thump, so delayed speaker on is not needed.
Is your symasym already running ?

Hi Mike,
I've got a question. Do you think 15003/15004 TO-3's would work well with this amp? Does it need the faster devices? I've got some TO-3 heatsinks that would be perfect with this amp.
Also, would a 25-0-25 400vA trans work?
Thanks, Terry

Still forgiven, i used BD139 and TIP2955 and TIP3055 once
And sounded very nice....it is hard to produce bad sound with this amplifier.
I think, the one to destroy this quality, have to be a very competent "dark side" terrorist Scientist.
As the worst parst you use, searching for worst, selecting for bad.... even this way, the damned will sound great.

Carlos

The magic of modern devices like 1302/3281 or 1943/5200 is that their beta (h21e, current gain) does not depend much on collector current and remains quite same even for quite high currents, up to some 7 - 8 Amperes. The old devices you mention have fast and considerable decrease of gain with increasing current. Symasym is a modern amplifier based on modern devices, and this is one of the reasons of its good parameters and very good sound. I would keep the devices I have mentioned.

Hi Terry, as Pavel said, best quality will be achieved with the mentioned devices, if you want to go TO-3, use at least the MJ21194/3 or MJ15024/25, not the MJ15003/4.
Your transformer will be "perfect", 25v gives ~36v DC, 400va might be a bit overkill, but is better than too small...

Symasym
Hello Terry
My first Symasym was made first with those transistors, 15003/4.
I wasn't very happy with the sound and at the time I let Mike
know about this. However, as soon as I changed to 21193/4
the sound just changed for the better and I got a real good
sounding amplifier.
Yes, Mike is right, his amplifier wants to have more modern
power transistors and the 21193/4 fit the bill, however if you
want to go first class the 1943/5200 will be the favorite ones.
Of course my second one was built with Sankens (I can't
remember the numbers, my son has it), but on the last one
(third) I'm going to change to the 1493/5200 I already ordered ($1.80 each, in 10's at DigiKey).
Going to hear the difference, I suppose.
What an amplifier this one is....

Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I have three choices right now.
I can go with the MJ21193/4, or MJL4302/4281, or MJL1302/3281.
I have these on hand. Which would be the prefered choice and why?
How much improvement would I get from the 1943/5200?
It looks as though heat won't be a problem with these so probably no advantage to using TP-3'S?
Thanks, Terry

Then go for the MJL1302/3281, these are the ones symasym has been designed around. I am not sure of how big the difference is with 1943/5200, i have not made a direct A/B comparison yet, but they do sound very good. The MJLs have 200watts rating, the TO-3's have 250watts, not a that big difference. Beeing ClassAB, heat dissipation is not very big anyway.
John, in my experience Digikey is very fast, if they have the Toshibas in stock you will have them tomorrow ! They needed only 2 days for my order from Germany...
