Solution To These Problems:
First, one needs to address this new concept by mating the circuit and physical lay out into one grand design. Both are very important and functionality is a prime concern. Elevating the parts above the chassis solves the capacitance problem. Then eliminate wires and solder connections by "lead to lead connecting". By this, one obtains several advantages. Of course, computerized layout programs just won't do.
- First, this shortens the signal path VS "hardwiring", "point to point" wiring etc.
- Second, this maximizes the high frequency response by minimizing capacitance to ground. This also helps in true inner detail.
- Thirdly, this reduce hum and RFI problems
- All of which improves sonic integrity, and consistency from component to component.
We hope this paper has helped you understand the theory and concepts that SAS Audio Labs utilizes.
