Affordable cables
If true this would actually be an achievement. One of the most experienced cable DIYers here, Erik, sometimes manages to build a pair that are only off by about 2 dB R to L. Yeah. DIY is that good. I guarantee it. Short of a poorly made turntable cable no cable, cheap, diy or other mismatches this much side to side or cable to cable anywhere the audio band. This appears to be a made up or misquoted number. Why do people post such obviously erroneous hyperbole? |
. That takes moore skills. I am a golden ear but not so much without my system. Right. So here's what happens, or at least can happen, or at least is what I have actually seen happen. Person starts out not even able to hear something as obvious as the difference between a budget and really good CD player |
Some people are impressed by bling. Most of these non-diy cables have lots of fancy marketing blurb but little in the way of real technology. They throw around terms like nano, and quantum like it means anything at the bulk level of an AC signal. It doesn't. If they had ant real tech they would talk in terms that actually mattered ... But ever notice they rarely do? Look at SRs factory tour videos. They don't have the equipment to do anything that looks like real R&D. There is barely anything approaching real electronics test equipment. It's barely hobbyist stuff. I expect many DIY cable builders are equal or better equipped. |
That $250 RIGOL scope and that $35 multi-meter inspires almost as much confidence as the cheap varistat and hand soldered PCBs .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzjA9ZYYNk |
And next on the shopping channel .... Does it slice, dice, and Julienne? No wire exists outside LCR no matter what someone wants to write or claim whether a room temperature liquid metal, solid state or quasi. It will have R (significant at that) as well as L and C. If you are claiming otherwise, being the only new thing in 150 years (it's like superconductivity does not exist), I am sure you have lots of data to back it up? |
