I don't speak that language, so can you provide a few details? What is being damped? What is the advantage? What is the benefit of this method over using the usual damping method?
Has anybody ever played with synthetic load damping ?

It's interesting, but the web site does not allow google-translate to be used

As far as i know this is a method to reduce the noise from the loading resistor.
I have seen other varieties from Van de Gevel and Self.
The improvement is small in paxis though in the circumstance of an MM cartridge.

Reading this nearly 20 years old interview i must say that not much has changed :SpeakerBuilding.com - Interview with Joachim Gerhard of Audio Physic, Page 1
She goes in two directions, but I can not control which one.
On the helper page they both go either left or right, not L+R.
(maybe the wonders of eye laser surgery)
Same here (no eye surgery).
Frans showed a balanced preamp with 20dB of gain that does not change the frequency and phase response when adjusting the gain.
And (actually) lowers the noise when lowering the volume (not the other way around like normal volume pot's do) 🙂
From Berlin with ... 🙂

Any hint on how it works ?
