ANYWAYS, April 2nd is now officially Roulette’s birthday. I don’t make the rules but I’m also making them sooooo… yeah, I don’t know what else to add here

No, I actually do, get random sketches of Ru in her promo fit.

Epistemology

I am faced with the problem of reality. I just read a message from the tube Guru who thinks the differences I heard with Naka-san were substantially due to the lack of global feedback. He avoids it in his designs. It will mess up the phase relationship from input to output. I have read dozens of arguments about how silly it is to avoid feedback. It is an assumed essential in audio engineering to those that subscribe to that faith. Feedback solves so many problems!

Many of those arguments were on the Audio Science Review website and forums. Recently they praised some new Class D amps as they had a global feedback from the far side of the output filter back to the analog input end. This was to compensate for the weird things speaker impedance would do to the overall frequency response at the output filter. From the far side of an inductor and capacitor filter back to the input. Solving a serious problem the worst possible way? So you have to choose between bad frequency response or kiss correct phase relationships goodbye in Class D amplifiers. Another reason to doubt those little boxes. I am smirking.

To those testing people the truth is in the graphs. Reality is a picture.

To me reality is what I hear.

Ironically the ASR's favorite A/B amp is one that uses what is claimed as Feed Forward. The AHB2 Benchmark. The description of that system is eerily similar to the old QUAD 403 and to the Naka-san. Patents, smatents.

So if the Guru is correct, and I believe he is, I have learned something new, or at least pushed it higher in the decision matrix. Phase coherence sounds different. Very different. My speakers are basically phase coherent and the placement in the room avoids secondary reflections so that coherence gets to the listener.

The clarity I hear may be those damn sound waves arriving in the correct space and time. The room sound on Trinity Sessions was enveloping much more than I remembered. Before I heard it was there. This last time I was in the room. Very spooky.

When I got my tax refund and then an unexpected bonus from my company I was in gotta buy something mode. I spotted several possible targets, all solid state. The basic choice was other more recent examples of basically what the Franken-Amp is, and this one outlier, the Nakamichi. It was interesting to me as it was based on a different design philosophy. The others were just different implementations of the main line approach. Some had big meters!

It was more expensive, but not much more. Actually the same price I paid for the ARC Classic 60. Nelson Pass is an iconoclast and as the song says he "goes his own way". I kinda like that bit. Today he has gone pretty far off the reservation, but you have to respect him.

I am glad I made the choice I did.

Progress Update #5: Lo-Fi Wireframes Pau!

Hey everyone! So glad you’re stopping by my Tumblr blog again! Read ↓below↓ for my project update details!

What has been happening over the past 2 weeks?

These past two weeks have been pretty busy as I worked on my other classes’ assignments. I went against the advice of our professor, who said, “Use the spring break to catch up,” but I instead opted to relax and decompress. I actually went outside this time, touched grass, and shopped at malls, unlike my previous breaks, when I would just stay cooped up in my house reading manga. I pretty much crammed some last-minute work before class today and the night before. At the very least, I finished my low-fidelity wireframes for the five microsites. In my last post, I only completed my low-fidelity wireframes for the main website, so I am happy to have done more. I think I forgot to mention that I reduced the scope of my website. Instead of ten designs, I narrowed it down to just five to make it more manageable for myself. If I also fail to deliver a fully functional website, I will fall back on a website prototype as a backup.

What is coming up for the next 2 weeks?

My next step is to complete my high-fidelity wireframes based on the low-fidelity ones. For this step, I will need to gather assets, such as images and text (copy) to use. After that, I will work on recreating the design on the actual website using Wix, hopefully by next week on the 30th. I want to launch the website as soon as possible to ensure there is ample time to gather data by collecting votes from my Instagram Stories polls, summarizing the results, and posting the summary on the site. So, that’s where I am heading over the next two weeks.

Hiccups/Hurdles/AHA moments

A hurdle I had to overcome was my perfectionist mindset. Because I want everything to be perfect, it was a struggle to begin tackling my five microsite wireframe designs. I did not know where to start, but once I began working, I had momentum. At this point, I realized I really just need to pass. Of course, I want to put out my best work, but I may need to take some shortcuts.

I had an AHA moment when I realized that I still had some time before I needed to launch my website. It is not a lot of time, but I remain hopeful. However, throughout this whole creative process, I have had serious self-doubt about completing this project. I had given up in high school for a STEM capstone project for STEM honors, where I dropped the class and forfeited the honors. It was definitely not my proudest moment, but I like to believe I have changed drastically from that time. Although I have self-doubt and imposter syndrome, I have accomplished a lot to get to where I am now. While I do not believe I was the person to actually achieve these things, I am trying to be more grateful and celebrate the small victories. By the end of this project, I hope to savor my triumph and success exuberantly with my friends and family. I am so close to the finish line. We all are. We got this, guys!

Any deliverable drafts to share?

At the top of this post, you will find screenshots of my low- and high-fidelity wireframes from Figma. I have finished my lo-fi wireframes and am beginning to work on my hi-fi ones. Click here to view my documentation for this project thus far. I have compiled my brand color palette, study guide, user personas, sitemap, and lo-fi wireframes into one Figma file to have everything in one place.

Where are you on your timeline?

I am kind of in the production phase, depending on how you look at it. I categorized wireframes under the production phase, but others may still consider them to be in the pre-production phase. Needless to say, I am quite behind, as I have assigned myself to launch my website this past Sunday. Now I know that the deadlines I set for myself are tentative and bound to change, so I won’t beat myself up over it too much. I am proud I have at least finished my lo-fi wireframes, which were substantially weighing on my mind due to feeling overwhelmed. Even so, I have reduced the scope of my project, which has lifted that immense burden off my shoulders.

That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in ^_^

The Six Major Problems of Audio Believability

A few years ago my paid employment ended due to ill-health, and I sought professional guidance on how to cope with the limitations. It was suggested that I take up an alternative occupation that avoided or mitigated stress and over-exertion. I have found that casual blogging on my music and hi-fi hobby, which is now occupying more of my attention, has proven to be an enriching activity. It is…
