[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 145780, member: 159"] Re: Damping Factor - Actual listening tests? Read em all, top to bottom And I've taken a 4th year university level course on the subject and fully understand, but it's been over a decade and I haven't used that math in a while so I'm not able to churn out the numbers I'm looking for with confidence. I think we're all on the same page about the cause of the under-damped system and we all agree that it should have an effect. I'm still trying to find a way to describe the effect in something other than DF so that we can relate. Call me "Mr Extreme" :) I'm trying to say that I often have no choice but to operate at the extremes and I'm looking to quantify those effects. Also sometimes when you tell a customer or an architect that we need to run $10,000 of new conduit or the damping factor will suck they tend to want more justification than 'look, the DF will be 2" Or trying to convince them to give up some prime square footage in order to move the amp rack closer. If it's as simple as you say, why hasn't anyone made a DF to %THD translation chart or something like that? That's why I'm still digging. Jason [/QUOTE]
