Graham,

Out of interest is this concept real, or is it another example of marketing twaddle to confuse the ignorant such as I?
"Conventional amplifiers have high input impedance and low output impedance. This is mainly because it is more convenient to control the voltage signals in the circuit. However, the S**** C****** is completely opposite that the input impedance input of the S**** C****** is close to 0 Ohms, and the output impedance is above 100 M Ohms. With such behavior, the S**** C****** strictly works with the current signals of the circuit."

Thanks

That is a glorious piece of prose and I too await Graham's appraisal.

Sounds like the output from a hifi orientated "bullsh*t generator" such as you find on the web.

Edit: Ah - the link won't work unless you replace the * with an i. The forum software wants to spare our blushes Embarrassed.

Thanks


Which t**ser wrote that?

If the input impedance is zero or close to zero it short circuits the source!

If the output impedance is as large as what is claimed here it won't drive anything - it wouldn't tickle a flea!

I could hazard a guess at who the S**** are? Would you like to tell me by PM?

EDIT:

Thank you Frostg for sending me a PM on the aforementioned item. It would seem this is an electronic component (a chip) having low input impedance and high output impedance. It uses "some" transistors and some carbon resistors internally. Incidentally carbon resistors are pretty useless above a few MHz and tend to be inaccurate from 1MHz upwards, but still, I've made some nice sounding circuits with carbon resistors.

However, this company talks about a device that has low input impedance and high output impedance as if it is something new!

It has no negative feedback. Well, yes that will assist it to have those properties. I know plenty of circuit configurations that do very similar - I suppose I could have made a quick fortune and then ran away before I was found out. In fact, I wouldn't have needed to run away because the hi-fi customer in general is willing to believe any old crap and think the sun shines out of your proverbial if you dare to give such things a go.

It does however show the value of having a review with X-moons! I shall not waste my time by quantifying that "value".

I remember how reviewers went on about rainbow foil (less than £5 a 1m x 0.7m sheet from Sydney Beaumont (Leeds) Ltd but incredibly expensive when cut into tiny little strips), short lengths of wire with reef knots and croc clips either end to short out the mains plug pins of equipment not being used - which they said improved your sound... and printers punching waste which a certain Messenger raved on about after filling his KEF speakers with them...

The hi-fi buying public is so easily led down wrong paths but stiffens its resolve against anything that's honestly good for them.

The BS'ers now find they have to be more technical in now selling you little anodised cases with bling connectors. They'll put bits of granite inside them and make use of quartz properties to fuzz up the highs to make you think you've got more detail - well worth the £5,000 price tag?

Honestly I wish I'd gone after a different career direction! I find myself hidden in this den of theives and nobody can hear my honest voice! Apart from most club members here.

Thank you Frostg for having the sense to ask. It is a shame we cannot name and shame.

Various bits of GSP Kit ..well two so far, unless you count the cables that is.

 Fair point, but since you quoted it I can't retract it.
