Sorry only just seen these replies, thanks. I agree c-followers would be tres preferred with that much Ca-g

What were the cathode followers?

That's the way the cookie crumbles

Well in my simple little world, 10 metres seemed like a long run to me.

I was taking the pee...

That would be about the width of our garden! Slightly over actually

Makes you want to think of something to use them for don't it?

"Only" 10 metres?

16 Amps mains cable.


No think about it ~ must be guaranteed to carry the rated 16A max. without getting hot and starting a fire, hence must be low resistance

The funny thing about ribbons is that they are supposed to have very low distortion but something ain't right there...] Maybe they're more accurately reproducing some "nastiness" in the source recording or from somewhere else. I'm just guessing the ribbon has a small mass hence very low i...

You've now got the problem of getting your head around the decibel scale and things like that if you want to start making gain measurements.

Oh yeah you start getting into what sounds like the "bass region" at 250 Hz and treble proper starts at around 5k. Give or take

I was thinking more in terms of a switched decade attenuator like mine has got. Not many steps tho I'll grant you but does allow more accurate output level control down to millivolts. This is in addition to the "volume control" which then becomes a "fine" control. :D Hope that is...

That's not an attenuator that's a "volume control"

Is that right? That's interesting because quite often piezos seem to have a bad rep most likely because of too many cheap nasty ones we've had in the past LOL

What's up with ribbons, IYO?

Alright so it has then. Super!



Not sure it would make that much difference, anyway that bit was probably off the top of the screen
