Of course the paper was referring to high voltages. That’s why it referred to arcomg. In audio the scale is smaller, but the phenomenon still exists, it’s called micro arcing and produces noise. Noise that is audible. Well, maybe not by pseudo skeptics, but to most people. Whew, for a second I almost thought the psedo skeptics had me there.
Next up, psedo Skeptics will tell me papers on micro arcing don’t exist. They will say, I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find anything on micro arcing. |
Stop avoiding my question: Do you have any evidence that micro arcing does not (rpt not) occur in ordinary, I.e., audio connections? If you don’t, you’re just flapping your gums. I sounds like you are conceding the argument, since many connectors are RCA. What about power cord connectors? Are they cheap, too? Tube pins? HDMI cable pins?

shadowcat2016 geoff, just for fun, to humor you and to possibly learn something I don't know, which is always useful, I'll google micro arcing.
What a guy! |
Shadorne, can you provide any evidence to back up your claim that micro arcing is not an issue in ordinary electrical contacts? By the way, I am prepared to provide evidence that micro arcing is an issue in ordinary electrical contacts. You go first.

Whoa! Hey! Easy does it. Still no evidence, eh? Oh, well, that’s a shame.
One assumes that shadow cat dude is having trouble with Google. 😬 |

no, haven’t googled micro arcs yet today.......I actually have other things more pressing to do with my time during the day :)............Perhaps this evening, if only because I’m a curious guy.
>>>>No biggie I expect nothing from anyone. That way I don’t get disappointed. 😛 I am curious yellow.

That’s weird. Most people probably wouldn’t give any personal information on a public forum. But I guess he knows what he’s doing. Social media can be very perplexing. 😛
|
thecarpathian @geoffkait - Evidence??!!! I thought that evidence mumbo jumbo was reserved strictly for the pseudo-skeptics! Do I hear a closet door opening??
>>>Whatever turns you on, needle nose. But demanding proof is not the same as asking for evidence. If you hear a closet door it’s probably yours.

I’m pretty sure dynaquest doesn’t have two nickels to rub together to be able to purchase the stuff. When he does get two nickels he would be well advised to spend them on some English lessons. |
He’s a good guy. We suspect maybe 🍑 🍔 🍔

I suggested eons ago putting the graphene stuff on all solder joints. Not one to say I told you so. |
Total Contact will even make Krell electronics sound half way decent, and if that isn't an empirical miracle, what is?
>>>>>Let’s not get too crazy.

celander626 posts I don't think TC would work in systems already fully optimized. >>>>Obviously, the alternative reason, and the most likely one, is the system for which the contact enhancer doesn’t work has severe problems. Who knows what problems? I’ve been to the big shows. After a couple hours nobody knows what the hell they’re listening to. And those are the industry pros. Besides, there is no such thing as a fully optimized system. It’s a never ending mission. There’s not enough time left. If you could hear what I’ve heard with my ears. An ordinary man has no means of deliverance. |
Congrats on the almost complete sentence. 🤗 |
This is the greatest tweak ever! 😲 No, wait, THIS is the greatest tweak! Whoa! I take it back! OMG! THIS is the greatest tweak! Three years time compressed for brevity. 🤠

cd318 @amg56 I wouldn't get too upset about these ad hominem arguments. These are usually the last resort of desperate individuals who have little interest in sharing the truth, but maximum interest in peddling their wares under pretences.
Audio is unfortunately not like motoring or computing where the numbers are almost everything. Hence the unpleasant infestatation and proliferation of charlatans and snake oil peddlers.
>>>>>Yeah, right. It’s the other side that uses ad hominem arguments. Are listening to yourself? Go infest some other thread. |

Thank you for posting the wonderful and thought provoking links. 🎅🏻

Sometimes the problem is on the bottom glass portion of the tube or the surface of the tube socket. Clean with alcohol. When contact enhancer is applied too liberally or too far up the tube pins the material can get squeezed onto the glass and or the tube socket when the tube is pushed back into the socket.

Interesting facts.
Graphene is the most impermeable material discovered. Helium atoms can’t even get through graphene. Graphene conducts electricity much better than copper. Graphene’s current density is 1,000,000 times greater than copper and its intrinsic mobility is 1,000 times more conductive than silicon.Aug 26, 2013
I don’t even have to bring up the issue of micro arcing. Which is why it’s a good idea to treat all non audio power plugs 🔌 . You know, refrigerators, computers, lamps, perhaps light bulbs, too. 💡 |
Has anybody pasted solder joints? That’s should be good for something. I’ve pasted the teeny pins on my Schumann USB generators and on the teeny tiny pins of my AudioQuest Carbon HDMI Cable connectors. Do not drink coffee before attempting same.
