Members Redbassman86 Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 Take a read at this: http://www.mother-of-tone.com/speaker.htm "A perfect speaker driver also has no dust-cap, but a phase plug (preferably made of wood), that fills the voice-coil cavity. If a dust-prevention is needed, a sound-permeable material should to be chosen in combination with a short phase plug." Isn't dust-preventions always needed?"

Members Unalaska Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 Wow, what a load. He takes a $20 DIY amp kit from partsexpress and resells it for... 950 euros and tells you to use a car battery to power it. nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members srp72ee Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I love his finely crafted "phase plugs." I would like mine in oak so it matches the rest of the trim in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members karlw Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 Its ludicrous to talk of drivers that "have no distortion mechanism, they are used without crossovers". Holy crap that guy is nuts. First of all, ALL loudspeakers, by nature, are distortion mechanisms, period. The loudspeaker is by far the greatest distortion-producing element in any sound system, aside from effects. Changing the material of the cone, the voice coil former, the phase plug, etc. will not change that. It may alter the nature of the distortion, or possibly the amount of distortion... but it certainly doesn't eliminate it. He's not shy of saying that today's loudspeaker driver manufacturers "seem to have absolutely no idea what they are doing" Sheesh. And this guy does?

Members Gregidon Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 Another DIYer who thinks he knows more than the experts... (not saying this never happens). However, anyone who wants a laugh, take a look at his explanation of the PCM data format - his complete misunderstanding of the Nyquist theorem and ignoring the reconstruction filter should set off huge red flags for everything else on his website...

Members agedhorse Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I find it funny how (many) DIY'ers who do not understand how a circuiut works or even how a transistor works can "design" astinishingly superior circuits and products that us regular ol' engineers just aren't smart enough to appreciate. Good grief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
