dragonfyr Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Yes, the rapid thermal heating results in violent vibration which results in the bulb filament breaking. The rest of the analysis of electron behavior within conductors is not so easy once you begin trying to analyze what is happening other then achieving thermal stability. Sorry I tried to relate behavior of electrons to a real world use... I guess the best answer is to fit in with a grunt and a scratch and to spend exorbitant amounts of money on fancy colored magic cables and make elaborate claims of hearing things my dog has never heard.

I was a little confused when he had water boiling at " 212F/110C (STP)" but later he used " exactly 212F/100C(STP)" so the first one was obviously a typo. I guess need to get out more!

Clipped and Shorn Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 So, does anyone routinely initialize their system using the Very Yak? This thread, more or less, is what I had hoped for by asking my naive questions. Knowing your electrons is like knowing your cuts of meat.......which includes head cheese. I still think that electrons want to do their best and we should give them all the help we can.....so they can "shine"....it is what they were meant to do......and the ones involved in producing sweet audio are very priviledged... I worry about the growing number of "homeless" stray electrons in the universe lately..... l cover up my AC outlets when not in use to avoid such leakage...... c7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Kind of a public service!) You guys are pretty smart! Anyway, the above section of the very interesting post by dragonflyer, shoots exotic cables all to hell. Good Work.

D-MAN Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If the amp is at idle, the work is already done - that is, the power supply caps are completely charged up and are sitting there awaiting discharge. Aside from "filling" losses due to heat, there is no real current being drawn. I guess at this stage it depends on thermal loss. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
