GaN-based Class D power amps
I'd like to make sure that everyone understands that any harmonic distortion, ringing and overshoot at the switching part of the amp is going to be far above the switching speed. Problems with the slew rate, switching speed,etc. here are not g... 
GaN-based Class D power amps (Corrected OP)
I brought up what was, I felt, some interesting technical aspects of class D amps, in the prior thread. And in what that may mean for GaN, in some respects (for new and old Class D design/outcome)Although these given points can be contentious. And...

Verity. 
trying to understand the Linn motor
My memory is faulty on that re the two step voltage thing... as I lowered the voltage of the sine on my rebuilt Valhalla board and now sometimes assist the platter when it is spinning up. Never bothered with the lingo yet, as....I'm waiting for th...

Let me just say, that if the problem of non linear distortion generated has been fixed from the fet based class-D of the now..then I’m all for it. I’ll jump of the dang cliff and dive so deep I hit the bottom and nearly die. I wanted class D to do... 
GaN-based Class D power amps
I’d like to see the raw output of a GaN switch in a class d amp configuration, and find out exactly how much of that hard slewing --consists of odd ordered harmonics. As, if the device is incapable of being linear, then ..it it very likely going t...

Actually, I made a big mistake. I mixed up Gallium Arsenide with Gallium Nitride. So the post had to go as it was wildly inaccurate..... Gallium Arsenide is unbelievably toxic. Gallium Nitride? no so much.... But I do get what you say about the fl...

Valhalla boards need to be refreshed, they tend to eat themselves through thermal wear. Off or on. I kept my valhalla’d LP12 on a power bar switched power arrangement and only powered up the table with 120vac, when it was time to use the table. Bu... 
Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why?
The consensus, through empirical testing across decades... seems to always be: longer interconnect, shorter speaker cable. 
Silver plated copper
Skin effect is frequency dependent and negligible at audio frequencies.This is not exactly true, although it is common to think of it that way. So common that the fundamental was lost. One might say that the skin effect consideration is affected ... 
Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers?
The dealer makes the lion’s share of the money in some ways. And the manufacturer carries a considerable load, in the remainder. If the dealer is not holding up their end...well.... Dealers can ask for an accommodation price (or are offered one) f... 
Best deal on unterminated bulk silver speaker cable for budget audiophiles
impossible..is the easy way to say it.
