  1. PHILOSOPHY OF OBSERVATION ETF-2008 by Menno van der Veen (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  2. What do I do? (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  3. Not only transformers, but also ...... (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  4. I write and teach ..... TubeSociety the academy for designers of valve amplifiers (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  5. and in my spare time (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  6. Overview of my lecture The nature of observations Let’s do an experiment How to handle observations well Summary & discussion Application: Why SE sounds better than PP (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  7. WHAT IS AN OBSERVATION? • we notice something • there comes a link between something being or happening and awareness in our being (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  8. THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONSwhere do we observe (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  9. THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONStwo examples: I am aware that ..... • I “feel” that my child needs me • I “see” that the glass is broken The borderline between spirit and matter is very thin; some say: “matter is condensed spirit” (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  10. THAT’S WHY I INTRODUCED IN 2007:“VALVE AMP CREATION” Q = The Devine “Quality” F = Feeling (subconscious) O and S = The Creator, us A = The Creation, the Amplifier (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  11. THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONSconclusive: • Our being (consciousness) is involved • Our sensors (inclusive feeling) are involved • Almost no distinction between spirit and matter (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  12. ATTITUDE TOWARDS OBSERVATIONS • animal level (direct reactions like fear, fight, escape,..) • human level (action, description, study, neglect, research, joy, guilt, explanation, theory, ..) We can think and consider, which makes us unique (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  13. EXPERIMENT • mike amplification; listen to mid-high tonal character • filter 0: no filter • filter 1: high pass switch on mixer • filter 2: high pass switch on mike • observe changes in mid-high tonal character • Which filter resembles the best compared to without filter (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  14. WHAT DID WE DO? • We repeated the observation to make our observation more sure • We improved the conditions to focus better • We drew a kind of conclusion • We started with an explanation (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  15. THE NEXT STEPS • We compare our observation to what we know • Science also compares with literature • Based on that we decide for further action (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  16. WHAT IS STRIKING • In this experiment I trust my observation • THIS IS ESSENTIAL • It might be so that I do not know the explanation • That will ask for more study • Which probably will leadto new inventions (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  17. CONCLUSIVE • Never doubt your observations • Try to repeat, to get more insight • Compare to literature, discuss and so on • All great inventions are based on observations • They are the basis of us (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  18. EXAMPLE: MICRO DETAILS • With SE amp I can hear micro details better than with PP • I hear more details with SE, even the smallest • With PP I even don’t know such micro details exist • This simple observation lead to new OPT demands and theory, which I will explain (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  19. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 1 (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  20. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 2 (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  21. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 3 (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  22. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 4 (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  23. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 5 PP SE (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  24. CONCEPT OF MICRO DETAILS - 6 (C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl

  25. CONCLUSIVE • Based on observation (loudness micro details) • New explanation why SE sounds better than PP • Not based on 2-nd harmonic vs 3-rd harmonic • Based on less weakening in OPT through perm loss at low level reproduction. •  A new theory !
