No problem, I prefer to be in control, add some distortion if required, I don't, but am toying with the idea
This still holds down to vanishingly low levels of THD.
Noise Floor.....the nature of this underlying noise drives the subjective sound of the system.
This system intrinsic noise dynamically modulates system produced distortions and signal, causing 'signature' sound.
I believe this is a subjective differentiator between OL and GNFB designs.

Have we hit the brownian motion in the room being more significant?
Brownian motion is a factor, and alterable too according to Mr Bybee, I concur.Have we hit the brownian motion in the room being more significant?

Hi ridikas,

It's a start, but nowhere near quiet enough, or stable enough for that matter. What do you think of that circuit?What do you guys think of this topology for a power supply for preamplifiers or phono circuits?

Yes, you can modulate Brownian motion with heat, by definition. You're not going to affect the diffusivity of gas molecules with one of those doohickies, unless it's to say that it displaces the few cubic centimeters of volume and is probably slightly porous, which would be significant if you stick them in your ears. 🙂
It's more complex than that, humidity is but another factor affecting air acoustic transmission.Yes, you can modulate Brownian motion with heat, by definition.

Surely you've completely missed my point, Dan/Max. I'm sure listening in pure argon would change things, too, albeit a short lived experiment.
Interesting. I have a patent on that filter topology -- about 15 years ago and now maybe (maybe) free. It was in a product sold for many years.
Still have one in storage.

How do you have a patent on a couple parallel capacitors with their parasitics made explicit for modeling? Or if you do, how would one defend it? It seems like that'd be swamped entirely by prior art, unless it reminded you of something different.

Its complicated. But yes I have a patent on it.

One thing I notice on this thread a lot. You guys start throwing around EE, science jargon in joking almost non sequitur manners. It's your insiders moose club handshake. You secretly chuckle in unison because you know the proletariat doesn't get it.
This is a way to wave a flag that you know you are smart that can be seen by other smart people.
Why do you have to wave the flag here? Because you really don't know what it takes to design a truly great audio circuit and you have to use the flag as a mask of dignity.
Back to filling orders.

Interesting - what's the patent number then?

That must be it, there must be no other explanation. Let's not talk about logical leaps or non sequiturs! 🙄
Remember that electrons don't care about your pet theories of "great audio circuits", they follow their inherent nature. And maybe learning those principles would help you realize what's wheat and what's chaff? You might want to look at who's posturing and who actually looks/comments on content.
Lastly, I thought this thread has become the de-facto water cooler for nerds. So nerd jokes and references abound.

I'm still working on it. Sounds pretty darn good. You don't think it's stable enough for discrete input jfet circuits? I wouldn't use it for OP amps.

Whenever I can’t understand something I read here, first I make a search (books or internet). If this is not enough, I come back here and I ask.
I have each and every time received an answer or an explanation or I have been served with a link.
No one has asked for my nonexistent credentials and no comments have been made for not knowing what I have asked (but I have not pretended that I know when I don't).
