Mikorist Napisano Oktobar 13, 2011 Share #11 Napisano Oktobar 13, 2011 In 2004, PS Audio invented the Gain Cell™. The Gain Cell is a unique variable gain amplification stage that eliminates the need for volume controls, attenuators or potentiometers of any kind to adjust the volume in a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. Gain Cells are superior to the use of a fixed gain amplifier or preamplifier stage with an associated attenuator. What’s inside the Gain Cell? Each Gain Cell is built around a Gilbert Cell, which is a similar to a voltage controlled amplifier where the audio signals all remain in the current domain until the very last point on the Gain Cell’s output. Keeping the audio in the current domain, rather than the voltage domain, means that the Gain Cells maintain perfect linearity through the entire 100dB range the Cell enjoys. Each Gain Cell must be hand tuned before it is encased in the epoxy. After encasement, there are three trimpots used to tweak the Gain Cell’s performance on a per-unit basis. These adjustments mean we can set each Gain Cell’s performance to within 1/10th of a dB between channels within any particular unit we choose to build. Each Gain Cell is 100% analog. That means there are no digital parts inside the Gain Cell. Each Gain Cell is a fully balanced design from input to output with no coupling capacitors anywhere near the signal. Gain Cells have one of the cleanest, purest audio paths in the world. znachi - zajednicki izrazi su attenuator, Gain Cell, Gilbert Cell...

Mikorist Napisano Oktobar 13, 2011 Share #13 Napisano Oktobar 13, 2011 The Gain Cell™ is the culmination of Paul’s 25 years of research and work, turned over to PS Engineering to bring the Gain Cell to life in its modular form.Founded in 1974, PS Audio was started by audio designers Paul McGowan (the P) and Stan Warren (the S). Stan Warren left the company in the early 1980s to form Superphon (still recognized as having created some good sounding but affordable audio equipment), and his place as audio designer and co-owner was taken over by Dr. Bob Odell, an audio designer himself, having created some of the notable Harman Kardon designs (back when they made higher quality equipment). McGowan left the company in 1990 to join Arnie Nudell of Infinity systems in building High End loudspeakers with Genesis Technologies.In early 1998, PS Audio Inc. ceased operations due to financial problems. Shortly thereafter, Paul McGowan bought back the name 'PS Audio', and has been the principal designer for new products. In January 1999, Paul left Genesis Technologies to devote full time to PS Audio. In the first quarter of 2000, the new PS Audio International grew at such a rapid rate that Peter Rudy was added as President of the corporation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Audioa o firmi "Quatre Company of Canoga Park, 10"ne mogu nista da pronadjem. ali ni jotu preko interneta.kao da nije ni postojala :this:iako je ocigledno postojala 70ih Link to comment Podeli na ovim sajtovima More sharing options...

The marketing pitch for the Quatre Gain Cell implied a complimentary symmetrical channel design that was supposed to cancel out non-linearities. I spoke recently to Dave Gore, designer of the Quatre/QMI Gain Cell series. He commented that he did not claim to invent the term Gain Cell and felt it rather generic. Bob http://forum.audiogo...&openflup&7&4#7 i josh: In Reply to: Quatre Preamplifier posted by Jesscott on June 7, 2006 at 20:23:09: The Quatre BOD 1 preamp was designed by Dr. Bob O'Dell (also designed the PS Audio 200C amplifier and one of the HK Citation amps) and sold factory-direct. It was manufactured by Quatre (headed by Guy Hickey) of Canoga Park during the mid- to late-70's. It is pretty rare, and was often partnered with Quatre's DLH 100 amplifier (before their Gain Cell/Dave Gore-designed amps). The company went out of business in the early 80's. http://www.audioasyl.../12/126851.html e ovo je tek sad ludnica: Founded in 1974, PS Audio was started by audio designers Paul McGowan (the P) and Stan Warren (the S).

dvv Napisano Oktobar 14, 2011 Share #17 Napisano Oktobar 14, 2011 U svakom slučaju, Miko, tebi hvala što si se istrudio onoliko.Nije me mrzelo da pročitam onu reklamu za pojačavače snage. Iz teksta, nisam video bilo šta što već od ranije nije bilo poznato, iz drugih izvora. To je možda za ono vreme bilo revolucionarno, ali danas i vrapci znaju da se uz malo pažnje, pojačavačvko kolo može napraviti tako da u otvorenoj petlji dobaci i prebaci 100 kHz, da ima relativno mala izobličenja svih vrsta i da nam, prema tome, ne treba 40 dB i više negativne sprege. Verujem da su odavno prošli dani kada su pojačavači snage u otvorenoj petlji dobacivali do 2...3 kHz, pa im je trebalo mnogo NFB da liče na nešto.Poredivši reklamu sa kasnijim tekstom, čini mi se da je Živorad u pravu, to nije ista stvar, samo je naziv isti. VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) je, u principu, stara stvar i prilično je dobro poznata kao ideja, koristile su ga i firme kao što je Technics u njihovim top modelima, gde je pot za glasnost deloavo u okviru kola povratne sprege, mada naravno nikada ne treba odbaciti mogućnost neke nove varijacije na temu, koja je možda bolja od prethodnih.Sve u svemu, ukoliko nije neka nova varijacija na temu, meni se čini da je ovo uglavnom čist marketing, u stilu nije diferencijalni par, nego je "simetričan pozitivno-negativni pojačavački član", nije šija nego vrat. I previše toga ima, posebno danas. Link to comment Podeli na ovim sajtovima More sharing options...

Slažem se, ali oni jasno navode da iz većeg modela imaju i do 500W u 2 Oma po kanalu, to treba napajati iz ozbiljnih izvora ako se traži takva snaga. 500W po kanalu, dakle puta 2, plus gubitci koji su neizbežni, i eto potrošnje od 1,5 kW.Kamo lepe sreće da današnja industrija malo više radi kao što se nekada radilo.
