I talked on the phone with my doctor, who acquired Pfizer for me.
He asked help, with his computer related problems, as usually.
He then drew my attention to this interesting man:
Dr. Peter P. Garyaev.
I have briefly reviewed the available information, and I've found this video:
Dr. Peter Gariaev (1942 - 2020) – The Wave Genome – Nobel Prize candidate – Гаряев Пётр Петрович - YouTube
I don't have enough knowledge to justify or dismiss of these things.
But it is quite interesting, must have to say.

Do you remember for Nikola Tesla?
He was a man with a specific knowledge, it is for sure.

Hello von Ah,

for me it is a great, simplistic and reduced design. I like it. ;)

Could be a great case for an amp....:rolleyes: Or is it an amp? Then I don't know the manufacturer.

It’s sold as a fanless PC chassis. I am VERY tempted to try to squeeze F5 boards, an SMPS, and a slow PC fan or two inside one of them. Tapping the sinks would likely be a pain...

Pie-in-the-sky scheming could include 4 of their GPU cooling kits to attach to the 4 amp output FETs. One FET per heatsink panel...

It looks pretty but if you forget about the heatpipe and spreader plates for a minute, at the end of it, you are trying to dissipate through 2 or more of those heatsinks. Just look at the fins and thickness of the heatsinks themselves and you'll quickly realize that even if the heatpipes and attachment blocks are 100% efficient, the heatsinks themselves just aren't good for much of class A design. Why even bother using the heatpipes and spreaders. If you imagined attaching directly to the heatsinks you'll understand what I mean about 'would you use these heatsinks to build a FW amp?'

Probably very nice for a headphone amp, preamp or even possibly class D.

everyone is having an opinion

but we all know that only mine is right !

:clown:

Haha Haha... that's funny.

Everyone knows your opinion is ALWAYS right... more often than not... well, often... sometimes that is...

However, do not accidentally jump down an audiophile review rabbit hole I clicked today because the opinions there were not of this world (tore this place to shreds). And as unbelieveable as it might sound ZM, i read some posts where there ARE people stranger than even you. :D

Hello brianco,


can you tell me to which 'clan' this scottish hummingbird belongs to? :confused:

I can't read the 'colourcode`of the check pattern on its bagpiped body....;)
And: Do scottish hummingbirds like scottish single malt?


These are essential question for me. I want to increase the amount of

unnecessary knowledge in my silly, little brain. I think it consists of only
one last braincell?
