Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?


It seems that the most comprehensive audio answers come from Sean. He corrects us with non-threatening information. I believe he is really trying to help all of us become better informed budding audiophiles. I have no idea who Sean is or what his background is, but I often read his posts and say "wow, I only knew a little bit about that". I wanna be audio smarter! My wife believes this quest is hopeless. I think Sean is "The Answer". Any followers?

Sean's contribution is very significant. About time we provided something in return.

I submit that Sean, like all respectable Irishmen, needs a drink & a project. I expect that too much of the latter probably robs him of the former:) -- unfortunately...

I'm too far away to supply the drink.

HOWEVER, I can supply an extra, "A'gon", project: designing a symmetrical rca-terminated IC cable:

Being an experienced RF-er, Sean can easily do the calculations required for rca terminated cables -- to whit, rca being ASYMMETRIC, what's the wiring geometry, implementation technique, etc, to make the cable symmetric within the audio frequencies range...
I.e., diametre ratio b/ween hot & return wires, how many twists/length, shielding necessary (or can we do without, for now), etc.

Say we use enamel-coated copper to make things simple...

How about that?

I'm joking, although I've been trying to crack this nut with indifferent succes for some time now!

Good to have you around, Sean!
