We first met at the AES convention in Zurich, 1976, right after the JVC session I mentioned before. Then you invited me over at your house in Montreux where I met MB, and she showed me how classical music can be soulful too, and we all went boozing and clubbing. And you know what impressed me the most? You guys had a bird, it would sing in the morning, and MB would whistle along, in perfect harmony!!!
I also met Raiza and Gunther there, and you know what? I met Gunther again a few years later in COURT! There was some kind of water incident in a recording studio and a subsequent insurance claim; I was hired as a technical consultant for the studio, and guess who was the other guy at the showdown? Gunther who acted as a technical consultant for the insurance company! We had a good laugh while both parties and the judge wondered what the hell was going on. 🙂
Don't know, the trial was the last time I saw him, it was in the 80's.
He asked me to do some microprocessor control for his tape recorder but I declined.

But what is the content you are listening to, some professor's lecture, comedian's jokes, someone singing, waterfall sound as background noise...etc.? And how would you obtain such source for replaying if not recorded / mastered?
Based on your post I've read recently, you have your own personal definition of hi-fi audio electronics thus there won't be meaningful discussions here. That is unless you would go ahead and revise your definition of hi-fi to align with the industry standard, then you will be using with the same language as others thus able to communicate.
There is quite a bit of interest in selling products too which nets them money.
It was a typo. No jumping. Moderator has corrected it, I thank him.
You said "You were OK here, but..."
Could you please explain that.
so does that mean you understood the "equivalence test" - I only ask that it be looked at.
So maybe up to that point you understood it. That's good, I am encouraged.
That test is valid, but it also needs to be understood and not so glibly dismissed as others have here - in fact they made no attempt at all. OK, so be it. Hopefully you have?
It's power is it simplicity and the maths correlates to what the back-EMF impedance is, and what it does as a voltage source and that it shows up in the SPL as picked up by a microphone. Yes, under those circumstance (which is present in every dynamic speaker system, even the one in your mobile phone), a voltage source affects the current of the amplifier as an impedance. This is not rocket science. It shows up as an impedance when you measure the impedance of the driver and look at the graph. Any value above the Re of the driver.
That last point, why should that observation be controversial? It's not even a claim.
The JC-5 is (more or less) a stripped down JC-1 with 2 ch in the same box as the JC-1, so 1/2 the heatsink, 1/2 the power supply, per channel, but even with 1/2 bias, it works very well, even for me.
Thanks. The JC5 can do more power, is the one thing I noticed might make people go for it for some applications.

Relax, I don't think he has a clue what the industry standard even is... IT INCLUDES GROUND BOXES THAT ARE ANTENNAS.....
I lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area and grew up not far from there in Sacramento, Calif. I never heard the GDead live. .... barely even heard of them. There was just too many great musicians and music then. Later, Garcia started to be a great player and artist in many other ways. IMO. Then he OD'ed. GD is ranked 57th in R&R Hall of Famers.

For the aging Deadheads I assume you are aware that you can get most of their concerts on CD now? If you can remember if it was 72 or 74* I'll ask a friend who has a collecting habit if its on one of his sets.
*I assume due GD in the 70s was one of those events where if you actually remember it you weren't 'there'. 🙂

You owe me a keyboard.
Due to the fact that I have only a vague memory of the concert itself (The memory of Zung amazes me) I had to be half 'there'.
This was often the case in these blessed times.

No need to ask, they're here. If you look real hard, you can find the set called Betty Boards: Betty Cantor did sound engineering for the GD, and she had the habit of taping everything off the mixing desk.
*I was sober 🙂
Sorry, but you and Scott are yet to join the dots. That's OK, I don't expect 100% agreement, but the point has been acknowledged by others whose integrity and expertise are beyond criticism. One lives south of me and a real heavyweight and is somebody whose opinion I would gladly submit to.
Zung, thank you so much for having us "Sold" ;-) this ticket for a trip back in time.
To John, do you feel that, even with those snuffling JBL horns, it was a problem for drums and bass ?

Just because someone is an authority on a subject does not mean they are 100% correct or infallible. It's a textbook logical fallacy. The claim should be evaluated, not the person making it.
What point, EMF and impedance are the same? You are clearly not communicating with your experts. You left jn out, BTW sorry to say Joe in some circles we are the experts.
