Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

Gentleman,
I would like to announce the introduction of a newly developed Magnet for replacement in Vintage PAF style Pickups.
The Magnets have been developed by Klein and Staddler here in the US and are based around Cyrogenically modified Mollybendum steel.
The flux density is said to be around 233um which when compared to a standard A2 or even A5 magnet offers a 42 percent increase.
The Gauze is slightly up on the above mentioned with a ferrulunium rating of 9.3.
The output is around 52 mv.
The slew rate has an astonishing rise time of of .03 ms with a fall rate around .027.
THD is quoted at .002 percent , Yes thats right !
So can you imagine a magnet with these qualities and how they translate.
Theoretically there yould be virtually no compression with a signal to noise ratio ( when wound with .16 gauge copper to around 800 turns ) of 93db.
With slew rate figures approaching the inherent limit of Mollybendhum this would mean that the attack and delay would be around 7 times faster than any currently available magnet on the market.
The sustain capture ratio is 32:1 which is almost double the sustain figures of any other magnet.
A test sample of around 300 people is required.
Expressions of interest please.

This sounds very interesting, i am more than willing to try this out
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

I am interested even though I don't read Greek very well. If there's any accuracy to my translation at all, it would seem seem that a single coil using those magnets could be mounted with the rods much further from the strings - as in: more of the pickup's coil down into the shielded cavity ... meaning less 60 hz hum.

Right?

Duh, I just reread the part about PAF pickups. I guess these are not rod magnets then?

Hey, hey my wildest dreams came true. I need to have an A14, all blonde, with long legs and strongly bondage wound. Ooops did i mix up something??
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

I am interested.

Question 1: How can a pickup have "virtually no compression", and have a "sustain capture" of 32:1....Is that NOT a compression ratio?

Question 2: What is the Wt% of Moly in the steel, and what are the other constituents?

Question 3: Can you provide a link to the Klein & Staddler website? I can't seem to find it.
Question 4: I'm assuming that some "guitar pickup" testing has been completed. Can you provide some sound samples? Shouldn't be too difficult to find a guitarist to record some clips for you, since you live in "the universe".

I eagerly await your reply,
Nick

I'm still trying to find out about A8's. Twice the sustain of a normal pickup? That sounds great.
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

But what happened to A10-A13? You're holding back, wanmei!

Yea, I was wondering about that myself. Perhaps a forum bro? Like what Snakeace (spl) tried the other day with the 'forum rules' thread.

Proving once again NO messageboard is immune to the dreaded troll....:hijacked:

Aren't there more interesting hobbies out there?

Hmmm, I was thinking it might be the reappearance of JBR from the Pickup Winders forum. The other thread's growing like that one did...
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

Could be Walters. Remember we laughed him out the last time and he may be turning it around. leastways i get the impression form the post which is about the same exact type of technical verbiage.Im probaly wrong, but that was my first intuition.
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

highly interested i mean if it wasnt a poor troll otherwise nice try
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

Do all those measurements apply to magnets? Slew Rate? Capture Ratio? ;)
 
Re: Expressions Of Interest In Newly Developed A14 Magnet

say it with me now!


I act like a dog and skootch my butthole all over this thread.
