Audio Interconnect cable Performance - is Return Wire Diameter aFactor?

The Dynaco PAT-5 biFet makes 15V @ 50MA +/- 5% **Umm, not quite. The specs for the LF357 indicates significantly lower numbers than that. At 25 degrees C: * Maximum output Voltage (god, I forgot just how primitive that old things was - zener regulation!?), with a +/- 15 Volt supply - 25 Volts p-p = 8.8 Volts RMS (theoretically). * Maximum output current @ 25 V p-p (dunno what the value of the output series resistor is, as that will change the final figure somewhat) - +ve 20ma and (wait for it) -ve 5ma. There is an Aktika (sp?) pre-amp that makes 20V @ 50MA +/- 5% And there is a mod for the PAT-5 to get it to 42V @ 20MA +/- 5% The reasoning for those superficially absurd voltages is headroom. And that is a long, difficult, and very nearly futile discussion mostly based on revealed religion. **Well, once the input Voltage limits of the power amp are exceeded, it's all over red rover. And, that is AC voltage. Not DC - so those electrons are flying back and forth at whatever the audio frequency might be. Not departing for parts-unknown and in only one direction. **Of course. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
