Hypertac connectors Hyperboloid contact technology with the companies that used fischer or lemo connectors why has no one used these. Proper mil-spec 🙂

I use them all the time. I love the fact that I can mix and match different blocks of connectors. The last set I made has small signal blocks with 20 or 25 pins grouped with large gauge two pins to a block. Never a connection problem.

I also have hypertac connectors capable of 200 amps room temp. Although, I rarely use the biggies at room temp. These puppies are very capable in liquid helium.

I've also used them at the corners of perfboards as mounts. They hold quite strongly, but you have to be careful when you disengage them lest you bend the pins.

An interesting take on "things", from a comment therein:

It underscores the quote that "Analog noise is separate from the music and can be listened through; digital noise is intertwined into the music and the brain cannot separate the two."

That's not a bad explanation at all - I have heard the latter happen many, many times when trying a test CD on unknown systems - the amount of deeply embedded "digital dirt" injected during the playback is quite remarkable at times, I marvel at what must be going on in the circuitry to cause such problems. If a person has never heard digital playback without that unpleasant griminess present, then of course they will think vinyl is better - the biggest hangup seems to be the refusal by many to accept that there is a type of distortion going on: there is an engineering issue, so, fix the problem, and then good sound emerges ...

Marce, thank you for clarifying Stuarts forlorn overture.

Stuart, I had no idea that you feel this way, I have been blind all this time.
Your generosity is exceeded only by your good looks. 😛

Sincerely, Dan.

Only in some peoples heads I'm afraid...
The usual sort of non peer reviewed article by someone with extreme bias (ancient as well) can now be banded about by a certain group of engineering/measurement/physics/reality despising few as proof that digital is rubbish...
I wonder if they have the same view of digital photos....
I have tried to hear digital dirt, but cant seem to hear it, maybe my speakers are not revealing enough!!!

There is more sense to it here...rev_tuning_hist
The first effort to institutionalize A=440 in fact was a conference organized by Joseph Goebbels in 1939, who had standardized A=440 as the official German pitch.

A referendum by Professor Dussaut of 23,000 French musicians voted overwhelmingly for A=432.
