A melody dreamed

Key is C sharp major but we will use C major to define it. o o o o o o D - E - - - - - E - F - - F F G A (3) G - - - - - E - F F F (3) F G A (3) G - - - E - D - C - - - - - - - D - - - - - - - A - - - - - - G G - - - - - repeat (verse) 1st chrord is bass C, then bass C with C F A, then back to Cthen again C with F major then A minor then D major then G bass with D major resolved to G major. A woman was singing in the dream and a rock band was softly playing.

Eureka, A class A power amplifier for music with just an electron tube, no capacitors, no resistors, no feedback, just a centre taped input transformer, a centre taped output transformer and 3 battery supplies

At yoyr risk. Please add Abba or Mike Oldfield type varispeed on previous post on recording vocals. Singnal is fed to 1 to say 10 input transformer. Secondary is connected to each grid of a say ECC84 electron tube. Centre tap is connected to minus of say 4 volts coin battery (Vc) for bias. Positive terminal of battery to the 2 cathodes. Primary of the output transformer say 6Kohms to 8 Ohms to the 2 anodes. Centre tap to possitive say 150V from batteries in series in series with fuse. Negative of this Vb supply to the 2 cathodes. Va supply from a batterry of say 6 volts in series with fuse to heaters. That's all folks. This is the Pleiades push pull or differencial single electron tube (2 in one bulb) only audio power amplifier. Enjoy!

Eureka, How to get an amazing sound out of any good dynamic microphone

At your risk. With a descent singer it should be possible to get that Broken Wings-Mr. Mister or for example Frozen-Madonna sound quality. 1. Great acoustics meaning no early reflections, for example outdoors, large tall spaces, broadband sound absorbers (elastomer panels for bass reflection absorption)etc. 2. Mic 12" away from singers head, facing singer's head at say 45 degrees from above. 3. Connecting in parallel with mic output (voice coil) 2 electrical Pleiades filters. An inductor of say 230mH (82mH for an omnidirectinal mic) as a low cut filter to cut bass heaviness in reproduced voice. The second filter in parallel is a Pleiades (130ohm,20mH) ie an inductor of 20mH in series with 65Ohms in series with 65Ohms as a high pass filter at a high frequency with gentle slope in order to produce this amazing voice sparkle. 4. If the Lou Burroughs (Electrovoice) trick of using 2 omni mics out of phase and singing to one of them is used then the low cut filter can be ommited, mic to mic distance will adjust the low cutoff frequency (typically a few inches). 5. Monitoring with good large loudspeakers (for example Celestion Ditton 150) in order to hear those bass difects and correct them, (my humble opinion is that on headphones these problems so common on so many productions cannot be effectively heard, same for small speakers. Enjoy! Enjoy!
