Nice music. I don't think the freemasons deserved it though.

Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor are heavy weights in movie, documentary scoring and commercial production.  They are also great composers in their own rights:

Manufacturer News / Re: Magnepan 1.7 dspNexus 2x8 DSP Crossover project
« Last post by HAL on March 25, 2024, 08:10:28 PM »
The Magnepan 1.7's are playing music.

The super tweeter ribbons are disconnected since the one in the left panel is open circuit.  Running the tweeter panel 400Hz and up.  Sounds pretty good to me even without it for testing.

The speaker is EQ'd for flat response.  That can be varied to taste. 

The planar woofer to tweeter time offset is corrected as is the servo subs to the planars time offset. 

The dspNexus with the AKM AK4493 DAC's are running now.  Just updated the firmware in the EA dspNexus 2x8 with the AKM AK4499EX DAC's and will be swapped in tomorrow for listening trials.

This is the fun part!  🙂

Amplification and Preamplification / Re: New Toroid Output Transformers
« Last post by _Scotty_ on March 24, 2024, 08:27:22 PM »
Probably a tradeoff on the transformer leads. Solid leads would mean no fooling with the transformer
to attach stranded leads. It may be a ease of production decision. Listening tests would have to done
to determine if the type connection made at that point makes any difference one way or another.

Don't fill the center of the transformers with epoxy or pot them, mount the transformers old school with bolts through the middle and plates top and bottom.
 While we're at it, go all in and make the power transformers secondary windings bifilar wound as well.
A bifilar wound power transformer improves the high frequencies in a solid state
amp and can help save them when they would be otherwise degraded the very large gauge wire
found in the secondary windings of higher VA rated power transformers.
I would think that doing this in a tube amp couldn't hurt and might be worth it.
Hope these ideas are helpful.
Scotty

No, the center would Not be filled. I also plan on a clear covering so one can see the winding itself.

Haven't thought about a power tranny, but easily doable, but interesting thoughts Scotty. Appreciate such.
Should a power transformer have flexible leads or solid wire lead out? Or ask the customer? The solid wire lead
would eliminate solder connections.

cheers
