I'm not surprised that a slider jockey would be unaware that the term
'power bandwidth' implies -3dB, but never mind.




Yes I was quite aware of that, but I wondered about your use of
the term "frequency response at full power" The correct
definition of power band width is in fact +/- 3dB.

"Slider jockey" is not really an appropriate evaluation of what
I do. I suppose we must put it down to your lack of familiarity with
what actually goes on in the recording process:-))

You have used the term fader-twiddler somewhere else,
I believe. This too is inaccurate, as faders move N-S and so cannot
be "twiddled" One could I suppose twiddle a digital rotary encoder.
I work with those quite often:-))

But why do you always have to be so personal and insulting?
It does not stimulate interesting communication, and more
importantly, you are keeping people away from this group
who would otherwise be pleased to take part.
Perhaps this is your intention?

Presumably you are referring to the limitations of the output
transformer.

Generally, that does indeed set the limit, especially at the low end.
A full-power bandwidth of 20-20kHz +/- 1dB implies a -3dB
'power bandwidth' of 10-40kHz. The low end is always a weakness with
valves.

I have mentioned this in a separate post.


Cordially,
