Look, the output impedance has lowered.  Current is upped?  That doesn't make sense?  If output impedance has lowered, than that means overall impedance has lowered.  What happend then?  Current is raised. 

So therefore, it is not an amp in the sense that it has gain, or is it an attenuator.  I would say adding a transformer will create power loss, I would not recommend it especially for low power circuits.  It is used for tube circuits I know because of the low output impedance it creates.

  Ideal power equation The ideal transformer as a circuit element If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical power is transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the transformer is perfectly efficient; all the...

But, there is something that is taught to every power electronics student or was briefly gone over in physics  is how transformer works.   I have mentioned above that transformer changes the output impedance.  How?  Impedance is the ratio of V/I because V=IZ.  Impedance is is a complex...

Why was it designed for such high voltage?  What headphones would need such voltage?  I think I'll go for the alpha20. Hope it it bring LCD or 800 to it's potential.   Quote:  

I got my CK10 today. I was skeptical of the score you gave it, and now I now why you like it so much.  It's simply amazing, it's not like any IEMs I've heard of.  I also agree with the score you gave for 1964-Ts which I have also.  Great customs.

^Ok, you can say it is S or B on the sale.  Everybody was talking about P and S, so I assumed it's between the two.  Then you brought up B.  Whatever.  When I stated S, I was referring to it's impedance characteristic, not whether it was S or P.

I don't understand how your examples prove a point?  I don't even know your stories are even true.  Let me ask  you this.  Lets say at a certain level causes hearing damage, would you like to measure to verify?  Science, experiements are done for verification.  Even Newton's.  It is not true...

Quality does not always scale with price.  But demand because of poplularity pushes the price.  Does quality make it poplular?  We cannot be sure of that.  I have a external sound card that I got for $50 that performs really well for IEMs.  You do not need to break bank to get a good product.  ...

^Who cares, it has the same characteristic as S.  What matters is if it is P or not. Quote:

Set the multimeter to ohms, and measure at the plug.  One channel to ground.  If it is around 100ohms, it is S.   Z=R + jX   X=wL for inductor which is headphones transducer or coil.  w =0, since f=0   Therefore, Z=R   Which is the resistor for the S and resistance of the cable...

I have ER4P and it has a green cylinder. Quote:  

Any reasons why B22 is overkill?  Even for  LCD2 or HD800?   Quote:  

Volume is the level of loudness, which is dependent on how sensitive the headphones are.  dB/mW  mW is power.  P=IV.  Volume is not voltage.  clipping is caused when there is not enough supply voltage to allow ample voltage swing.  Current is what drives the headphones(charges moving causing...
