Electron Movement through Solids – Energy Bands and Semiconductors

| by

Possibly Howard Dumble was correct.   Materials vary greatly in their ability to conduct electron flow. A digitalization may take place that has bearing on sound quality and overall performance, fidelity and response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYYWZhsgVPc   Electron movement through solids is a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics and semiconductor technology. In a solid material, such … Read more

Tubes vs Transistors – Perception of Loudness, Clarity, Distortion, Sound Quality

| by

In general, with other variables held steady, as the power rating goes up dramatically (10x), the perception of loudness only doubles. 3,000 Watts sounds only “four-times louder” than 30 Watts. It seems unlikely, but measurements and anecdotal evidence have consistently shown it is generally true. People often ask, how does the Milbert BaM-235ab compare, in … Read more
