cwm Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 All this begs the question, where did this notion of the sonic superiority of alnico start? These "urban legends" of audio seem to hang around continuously and I see no science to back them up or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Probably not. The theory is that the AlNiCo reacts differently (can't remember how) to the magnetic fields induced in magnet structure by the current in the voice coil. I can't verify, or dispute it, but I'm not buying just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewb Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I have a long explaination from a person in the AudioAsylum who ownes or has owned all of the versions of the t35 and t350. He indicated that EV changed some of the tolerances and design of the driver when they switched to the ceramic magnet. "The workmanship and material quality of the older alnico EV tweeters is very good, however the later ones have much tighter tolerences and refinements, though the materials are not as good with more use of cheap molded plastic." This is a much more plausible reason (IMHO) for the difference than the choice of magnet material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAKO Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 True thats why the tolerences varied through out the life of the T-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
