Insulation biasing is Flat Earth science. Just like cryo-treated AC outlets.
Effects of DC charging cable’s insulation a la Audioquest?
Has anyone experienced what turning off and on the voltage applied to cable’s insulation, the way Audioquest does it with their 72volt system?
Does any other cable manufacturer do that it is it patented? Just curious why more options don’t exist for this type of technology?

Insulation biasing is easy to understand, IF one has a modicum of knowledge in how our musical signals are propagated. ie: The speed of a signal/electromagnetic wave is affected by the Poynting vectors, of a cable’s dielectric and it’s polarization. The angles of the Poynting vectors are determined, largely, by the frequency of the current in the conductor as well as it’s strength. Our music signals contain a multitude of frequencies and current strength changes, at any/every given moment. (very complex sinusoidal waveforms) The benefit of stabilizing a cable’s dielectric polarization, via a much stronger, open-circuit voltage potential* (DC/no freq, in this case), should be obvious. *Why/how non-contact voltage detectors work, sans a complete/closed circuit. The Science that provided the above tech has been around since the 1800s (ie: Maxwell, Poynting, Umov) Though my Synergistic cables work with an MPC wall-wart, used to create a DC field around their dielectrics, rather than a battery, the loss of benefit is patently obvious, when they’re disconnected. When I had the MPCs upgraded: the improvements regarding my system’s presentation, were even more obvious, as realized and attested to, by a number of others*, that have actually experimented with their gear, over the years and had the temerity to express their findings. *ie: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/modding-synergistic-research-mpc-to-galileo-status-2 and: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/modding-synergistic-research-mpc-to-galileo-status

@rodman99999 Thanks for the response. |
yes, DBS is a patent shared by Bill Low of Audioquest and Richard Vandersteen of Vandersteen Audio. RV certainly believes in it as many of his speaker crossover filters use a battery to keep the capacitors formed. Additionally, his amplifiers ( M5 and M7 ) include….wait for it… 128 V DBS systems for both the interconnects as well as speaker wire. There are also certain savvy electronics makers of DAC and preamp, who use the technology internally…… |
