I do believe this book was discussed on the S&V forum. At any rate, he holds some borderline-crazy ideas which are not supported by hard facts.

Ah, at least its a conventional speaker. :banana-rock:

I can see straight off that low frequency response would be pretty much non-existent, and high frequencies would be a challenge because of the mass of the "diaphram" and losses in the motor coupling mechanism / suspension. The whole thing does beg the question, WTF?

Uh...yeah.... :handgestures-thumbdown: I'm still waiting for them to perfect the Nuclear speaker which uses controlled fission to produce sound. I hear its extremely efficient. :scared-eek:

Personal electronic devices such as phones, iPods etc are considered non-repairable by manufacturers. With a warranty claim, they will replace it rather than repair it.

"High Current" power amps are a bit of a marketing red herring. If an amplifier is able to supply the voltage necessary to cause its rated wattage to be dissipated in a load of a certain minimum impedance across the audio band, then it will have enough current to do the job. This obviously...

Sorry I got hung up..looks like I missed a good show. :evil:

Here is another article from the first issue of High Fidelity magazine from 1951, this time concentrating on preamplifiers. In this article you will see on the article's page 22 the typical arrangement of preamp/power amplifier, with the preamplifier connected by a long cable to the power...

What is not obvious by the picture of the Brook amplifier is that in those days it was very common for amplifiers (including this Brook) to come with wired remote consoles that controlled input selection, volume etc, which were supposed to be located by the listening position, while the actual...

Print them out to read on The Throne. :music-rockout:

Interesting fact; J Gordon Holt was one of the writers for High Fidelity in this time period, and I'll probably post an article or two from him in the future. Apparently he became disgusted with what he felt was pandering to manufacturers in the pages of High Fidelity even then, and left to...

Here's a long article about budgeting and putting together your high fidelity system, 1951 style. This is from the second issue of High Fidelity Magazine, 1951.

I might suggest pinning this thread.
