Cable Snake Oil Antidote


Some might find this Cable Snake Oil Antidote interesting with respect to LRC, the signal and the system.

Cables affect the sound and the effect is system dependent.

Another's opinion on a cable in a vastly different system may not be valid.

People will generally... always buy from salesmen. They would not be there if they were not good at their job. That's the next part of the equation. Some people can be multifaceted and handle it all, but they are few and far between.
What happens when the conducting medium goes from a frozen lattice to a conducting fluid at the molecular level?

The answer is that all your formulas go out the window, as those formulas are based on simplistic models that have static conditions in their origins. When those static conditions turn into dynamic variables, you are left with magnitudes less predictability. It gets so bad that dynamic kinetics (heck, we don’t even really have a stable nomenclature as of yet, in this area) enters the game and is tied to everything... and much more.

So the Belden engineer would have to retrench and tackle a mathematical complexity that he and no one else can actually reach. Supercomputer: fail.

Best guesses and approximations are the only thing that works, here. Simply as it is all that is available.

The same, to some degree... is the issue with ’frozen lattice’, ie, wire audio cables .

Eg, one is calculating the capacitance of the cable, and this is comprised of models for the dielectric, the 3d space occupying characteristics and the fundamental characteristics of the ’wire’. all are considered to be static and unchanging, thus leaving people, still... with what is actually quite complex mathematics to solve.

Which does little to nothing for predicting the ’sound’ of cables..which means the problem being solved is missing some parts. If the answer and the question do not equal one another than one component or both (question and Answer) are flawed, re the nature of your query.

The fluid metal, with "all variables all the time", which are situational dynamically load dependent and more... leaves the mathematics as being unsolvable. Predictable, to some degree, but basically..unsolvable.

Unsolvable, is a good thing, for one great reason. When formulations come along and are available to be used, the ’to a hammer everything is a nail’ mentality starts to enter the picture and people get complacent and blind. The problem is not unlike the second, third, and nth pressing of a button.... when it is known that a single press is all that is required for actuation.

The idea of how humans repeat solutions, re their application... in the face of things that seem to fit patterns of known quantities. The danger of engineering solutions being applied to scenarios that are not solved and are not exactly the same. It is part of our wiring to do such things. So we can’t have clarity in the instance of an unclear mind. Realization at these fundamentals.. of ’the questioner being part of the issue’ -are glossed over. The intellectual and thought pattern limitations that sit unrealized. The dangers of unrealized projection.
Everyone here prostitutes themselves to something.

Innocence and any associated righteousness is a projected dream, not a reality.

Somehow... degrees, desires and personal aspects of shading and indignation, as in: emotions (making decisions about logic models in the mind)....somehow come to the forefront and paint pictures in our minds. And those pictures somehow go from logic, understanding, and shading, into black and white ’facts’.

Generally it is so bad, that someone will probably find fault in what I post, here, and find a way to label it... so they can paint it in a black and white fashion -and then rankle and rail at it in print. This is the essence of every second or third post on most of these forums, across the world.. in just about any given subject area.

Human flaws, and the recognition of the human flaw. But the flaw does not want to be seen, so it rides in the mind, silently, coloring everything that might enter conscious musing, even one’s own beating heart and breathing. In the bones, even. Scary mortality, and the mind’s reality of dealing with itself. The voice in your head isn’t you, it’s your mind collating the muse and presenting, in a body shaped/originated echo chamber loop feedback verbalization 'externalization/communication' system. (ego function is tied to this) Hypnosis works as it interrupts the loop.

Essentially, very few people stay in the world of science and theory (as that would be uncomfortable) and they never stay in the world of science and theory when they get into things they have little data on, and are emotionally invested in. Like science and music. Humans ’factualize’, as it is how we get ourselves around, in our mental constructs and other core mental function.

Not logic, but human minds dealing with logic. The two are not the same. There is a huge difference between the two, in any form of logical analysis of the ideals and realities of science.

For example, we can say one thing out of hundreds, that can set your mind off, into blocking logic. In this case, we will take Elon Musk’s contention that this place is not a base reality and is a simulacrum, on some fundamental level. What he says is true and the odds of him being wrong, are a few billion to one. Can you negotiate that? Millions of people have negotiated this to some degree. But it is.. difficult. Since it is at logic limits for pretty well everyone here, negotiation of it...involves the recreation of the calculating device to a higher level. It requires reformation of the mind. Thus, to tear down emotional fundamentals about reality and rebuild into the new. Negotiating one’s own mental death and rebuilding...is part of the process.

You won’t go there.... your mind will reject it, and you’ll forget it by the time you rise and step away from reading this forum today. Even though it is true and if you ruminated on it deeply and all the time, you would find a way out of this mess humanity is in. The same monkey that is in humans will block it and move you way from thinking about it. The same monkey that has a person making poor and illogical posts about some other person who is in the same boat.

Thus, (a minimum of) two pathetics --screeching about nothing? Beating each other with sticks built entirely out of ridiculousness?

Careful, don’t have an ’emotional’ response, as that will kill logic before it even begins to form.
