Heatsink, just don't drop it on concrete

Compared to what? Great how?

Aluminum metal is so much more conductive than needed, it doesn't really matter, in terms of board-level heatsinks.

Alumina is perfectly traditional in many products. Must be good for something.

Because it looks cool? Because it makes things sound better?

AlN, Al, or any of the usual suspects.

Huh?

We were discussing ceramics.

I was thinking about inner microdynamics, or crisp granularity, or holographic sound staging, one of those technical audio terms.

I have a list somewhere.

Ah, "sound" as in the audiophoolery arena.

If you dig it out, I could use it. ;-)

One does make sense, bass transient response. Some ported speakers were terrible on this point.

I absolutely loved my Acoustic Suspension, sealed cabinet, Scott speakers from 1972. Quite responsive across the range. Had them for decades. The pair ended up as my center channel, before it was all stolen.

It'll be put to good use. Thanks!

to clarify they had the amplitude of response at the port frequency, but the rate at which the resonance changed amplitude was excessively slow.
