NP interviews on Youtube

[Lukyk]

Superb article, thank you. I'm glad that this idea is not dead. There are too many unfinished projects ahead of me (new house and it's audio and automation). But I will definitely return to this topic

Keep it up --Great stuff

Treshold treasure ……. Audio & Video Aircheck Magazine article | Zen Mod Blog

Nobody noticed/mentioned Nelson's cat? Did it survive a close encounter with speaker's HV?

 

[Zen Mod]

it's always tricky issue with old pics - seeing pets long gone ........

 

[tubesguy]

I think I may have some of those ionic speakers in my house, also right in front of the fireplace, just like in the picture above. I'll hook them up to the M2X later today.

There is a great tongue in cheek song by a duo, know as "Doyle and Debbie". They have a song titled "Daddy's Hair"
Just seems perfect here. Music | The Doyle And Debbie Show Scroll down it's near the bottom

We should have a J2 kit in DiyAudio store?
IRFP(9)240's are not as nice as I originally thought?

 

[Dennis Hui]

A J2 kit would be unlikely given the design continues to be in production,
and the unobtainium status of the Semisouth device.

 

[Dennis Hui]

I love the story about the El Pipe-O.

When I read the article way back when, I was imaging the USGS picking up
tremors from Nelson's parties...

 

[MEPER]

What brand/model are the speakers in the background…..in the video?
There must be another room with big horns etc.?

Wondering what makes Tannoy in Jensen Imperial the most revealing speaker.

Love the modular filter patch bay idea.

 

[wdecho]

From interview there is a lot of praise of the J2. It would be unavailable for most to build even with schematic because of unattainable power j-fets.

Perhaps Nelson will discuss the how the F3 compares to the J2, differences (other than power) similarities to the J2. Being that the F3 uses power J-fets as well perhaps with some tweaks the F3 could be improved being that it was an older design. The F3 is still build-able for diy'ers. I have one and it is a very nice sounding amplifier with my horns.

apples and oranges; just compare number of stages,nfb,psu

Thank you, Dennis for the post.

So, Mr. Pass likes the J2 and the SIT-1...

Would be great to know his preferred preamps, too.

Would be great to know his preferred preamps, too.

Just a guess- XP-30, because he can drive output stages with it.
