Hey Ultrasonic, I’ve been thinking about turning some vintage gear into a pocket‑size, crystal‑clear speaker that can pull up those hidden 40kHz frequencies—what do you think about mixing a bit of art with your waveform obsession?

That sounds like a dream, but remember a real 40kHz stage‑coach needs more than a pocket‑size body. If you strip the vintage chassis of its old circuitry, you’ll lose the subtle distortion that turns a tone into a character. Keep the original chassis, but mount a miniature high‑frequency driver that can actually punch out those ultrasonic waves. The art part is all in the cable routing – use a single‑core, low‑capacitance line so the waveform stays pure, not a tangled mess of phase noise. Then you’ll have a speaker that can reveal the hidden frequencies while still feeling like a relic you can carry around.

That’s a solid plan, but let’s make it a bit wild—what if we lace the cable with a tiny magnet so the vibration itself pulls the waveform along like a living thread? It’d give the relic a heartbeat and keep those high notes razor‑sharp. Let's do it!

Sounds wild, but I’d keep the magnet away from the driver—magnetic fields can scramble the phase. Stick to a low‑cap, low‑parasitic cable and maybe add a little ferrite bead to tame the hiss, but don’t let the “heartbeat” become a new source of distortion. Keep the focus on pure waveform and you’ll still get that razor‑sharp 40kHz edge.
