blueranger, Can u measure a narrow soundstage? You may be asking this question on wrong forum. I suspect that the forum inhabited by guys who invented those ambiance modes many receivers and cell phones have had for the longest time would be a better place to ask. Those guys might have figured out some mathematical way to make you feel that soundstage is narrow, wide, etc. Maybe they also have an idea how to measure it. You know those modes "stadium", "church", "jazz club", and so on. They do not base that on cable burn-in so maybe there is a way around it. It may be worth asking if they know how to measure it. Here, we can discuss Engels, excretory functions, and some other topics. |
The meaning of this thread is to learn as much as we can about speaker cable burn-in. We are getting there. Progress is slow, but I am not losing hope. It has been getting more interesting over the last 20-30 posts.
Karl Marx, allegedly, did not wash himself that often.

aj-s, "Bunch of idiots the lot of you are..." Don’t be so harsh. We just thought you were a credible expert. And now you are telling us you are not and we are idiots to trust you. That is a pity, your idea seemed theoretically sound. On a good side of it, now that we know that we should not trust you, we will not trust your statement that we are idiots. |
I think aj-s is like any other great inventor. She/he had a moment of ingenious spark and could not recognize it her/himself. I suggest that all of us build upon it. |
aj-s, "Why does placing speaker cables in a pot of boiling water sound like lunacy to me but NOT to you?" Well, I see you are new around here. Stay for some time, follow cable threads, mix with fuse threads, and you will start believing in your own theories, too. You will surely get a following. Become like, you know, Cablevangelist. "How naive and gullible can one be?" Apparently a lot. Still, regardless of how naive you may or may not be, do not tell people they are idiots. It is not a good idea. |
blueranger,
You just made the firmest case against burn-in that has been posted around here.
It seems there are no lawyers on this thread. At least no defense lawyers.
|
"There are very few criminal defense lawyers." I have a feeling that andy2 would disagree. He might say there are way too many of them. |
So I am not the only one to doubt Einstein as the biggest science star that we made him into? |
andy2, "I have nothing against lawyers." You fooled us all. |
I was also wondering should we look for gawdbless who is missing in action. He did it to us. Burned us all. |

nonoise,
No, I did not, but I will take that as a "yes" from you. You reminded me that I did see magnesium flash (old type camera stuff), though, so it would have to be a "yes" from me, too. It was probably a real burn right there, as short as it was. I guess, we need more magnesium speaker cables.

"I believe in Burn in..…...Wire or metal is the same." Come to think of it, how many of us have seen a metal burning (in, out, in the middle, wherever)? I think that may point towards the answer. If your cable does burn, you need to switch to some fuse thread for suggestions. |
blueranger,
Maybe people thought your question was rhetorical and not true question asking for an answer. You gave the answer in the first part of your sentence and did not end it with "?" which is the usual sign to let others know it is a question.
Speaking of dodging questions, have you ever seen a metal burn?

Whatever way you can lead the new naming is fine, as long as it is a logical one.
It is, kind of, funny to read about "things that haven't been discovered yet". For now, they are just a fantasy. Once they get discovered, they become a "thing". I do not doubt that someone may, one day, explain many things we are arguing about here. Including "burn-in" of the speaker cables. The tricky truth for half of the participants is that someone may disprove it, too. For now, it is "it will be discovered" as an indisputable truth. Many things in science have been finally discovered, but many have been discovered to be hoaxes, so to say. I hope to live to see the unraveling of the "burn-in" enigma.

blueranger, "It could be better called by some scientific name years from now." No need to wait for years. You already gave one suggestion. Sometimes, it is better to call things the way they are and not what seems mysterious. Many things on these threads are just like "burn-in". Even if it exists, it is wrong. Nothing is burning, especially not anyone's ears. If someone would constantly call you a greenranger, you would, at some point, say "what is wrong with you". |
geoffkait, "And while you’re at it see if they can get to the bottom of fuse directionality, why cryogenics improves the sound, and why premium fuses improve the sound." Those answers are all over the place. Once you are ready for them, I will tell you what they are. "And he does it so well. But he’s a two trick pony." You are half-right. I really do it so well. The rest is not call "tricks". It is called "art of wisdom". Or "wisdom of art", if you prefer it that way. |
"Pop quiz: why does AudioQuest highly polish the surface of their solid conductor cables?" To improve appearance. |
I had no idea that AudioQuest makes helmets. On the other hand, that would be a more meaningful product. |
