I really respect the mea culpa, Cliff, not that I noticed since I don't use the Rectos much. It doesn't surprise and just deepens my respect for you and the company.
I use gain at around 6.5.... If this is what a fubar Recto sounds like, the corrected version will kick my teeth in.
You could call it 'Cliffs Special Sauce Recto' or something......
I don't know. I'm puzzled as to what happened so I'm just going to redo everything. I do know there was a capacitor in the Drive network that was off by 1000. If you use a lot of gain this will cause things to be very flubby.
Just the fact that you roger up to something like that really says something about integrity, which you don't see a whole lot of anymore these days.
or worse, is lying to you. Love the integrity and customer care ethosLove the integrity man! that IS a hard thing to admit, but hey, everyone makes mistakes right?
I always say that a man who hasn't made mistakes is a man who hasn't tried!
Ditto. This is where all the disagreement came from. I'm a "less is more" kind of gain guy. Usually with a TS up front to tighten. I bet there are lot of others doing this and to them, it probably sounded great.
To those that need to push the gain higher...well...
Here's a mad suggestion! How about releasing new Recto models based on the new corrected values, and keeping the old 'wrong' ones? You could call it 'Cliffs Special Sauce Recto' or something......
I found out what happened. I added a field to the model parameters some time after doing the Recto models. The field determines if a shelving filter has unity gain at 0 or infinity. I set the field wrong on the Rectos. This was causing way too much bass into the power amp simulation which would cause things to be muddy and flubby. I checked the other models and they're correct.
Also, while I was cleaning things up I misread .500e-3 as 500e-3. I always put a leading zero on things but for some reason didn't this time and therefore missed the decimal point.
Ahhhh, so does that mean you won't have to put the Rectos thru the MIMIC process again?
Technically yes but I did anyways.
