This is one of the best Dekays I've seen since Audiogon implemented their decay system. Cheers. craig. |
It,s morning here now 7.30 am and the first time i read the thread i did not catch it.Now since i had my coffee and reread some threads it all make sence.
Dekay the next thread i start well start with Dekaying....... |
Being a Dental tech (ceramist) all help you all i can Dekay.
Has far has cables go dekaying copper works fine.which steve are you referring too. |
I did extensive testing of the DeKay silver speaker cables and found them to be the best of the lot tested, followed, in order, by the De-L, De-M, De-N, De-O and De-P cables, respectively. And you thought this post couldn't get worse....... |
.......to stay on topic, my IC dekays are silver wrapped copper. Speaker dekays are a whole bunch of nines copper. |
I know all my dekays exist because I just looked at, touched, and even smelled (surprisingly neutral for a dekay) all my dekays just this morning, and I trust my senses. Cheers. Craig. |
If I have to throw out "Bread" I might as well toss all of the "America" CD's as well (sorry Tom W.). |
Dekay, you can also throw out all of those "Bread" recordings. Doug |
Important new data provided by Tireguy, has indicated the problem is starchy music, rather than sweet.
I suggest a hit list that warns against ear Dekay. I will begin with the first that come to mind:
"Cornbread" Lee Morgan
"Potato Head Blues" Louis Armstrong
"Bread and Butter" Newbeats
"Bean Soup" Coleman Hawkins
"Yams" Herbie Hancock
"Bean a Re Bop" Miles Davis
"Rice Pudding" Jeff Beck
"Spaghetti Western" Hoodoo Gurus
And certainly, ANYTHING done by Korn. |
I wonder if Kublakhan was using copper or silver when he blew his girlfriend across the room. Perhaps he will enlighten us. Doug |
Well, I am quite surprised that a thread started solely as a lark is quickly turning into a body of concrete scientific evidence. Geez, I hope that I won't require tooth bonding as an after mass. |
Well why we are on the topic of disagreeing Albert I would like to clarify something, tooth dekay is not caused by sweets, contrary to popular belief. Tooth dekay is caused by starches which are partially digested by your saliva; saliva does not cause any chemical changes to any form of sucrose, glucose, etc. hence it does NO damage to your teeth. I am sure ear dekay may be accelerated with starchy music. But I will need scientific proof to believe that any thing being said is true(not just here) because I am not capable of thinking for myself. |
Doesn't much matter. 18 gauge copper dekay sounds the same as 18 gauge silver dekay. Doug |
Kelly, I finally got to disagree with you. Tooth dekay is not a problem compared to ear dekay. Tooth dekay may be avoided by laying off sweets, while sweet music, the cause of ear dekay is as certain as death, taxes and Audiogon! |
i don't know how many times it needs to be said, but the choice of wire is highly subjective. i've tried the silver dekay and copper dekay in a number of configurations. they're both painfully strident, tho either is clearly preferable to the tooth dekay. -kelly |
