Slew rate, damping factor and THD: which amp spec actually predicts soundSlew rate, damping factor and THD get quoted constantly. I explain which ones genuinely correlate with what you'll hear, and which are decoration.By Marcus Vale- Damping factor and output impedance: what actually happens at the speaker terminalDamping factor gets thrown around like a quality score. It isn't. Here's what the number actually measures and when it matters.By Marcus Vale
Feedback and damping factor: what negative feedback actually does in an amplifierNegative feedback gets blamed for "solid-state sound" more than any other design choice. Here's what it actually does, measured, and why the folklore doesn't hold up.By Theo Mensah
