The Science of Cables
It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?
Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables.
I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

@cd318- "What about tactics such as linguistic obfuscation? It’s common for some to try to derail attempts at clarity........ A recent case in point was a post about the uncertainty regarding quantum behaviour which neglected to mention that this phenomena is strictly confined to sub atomic particle behaviour." At what level of atomic particle, does sound begin to be affected? GOT ANSWERS(as in, "science")? It’s the likes of you, that choose to deny the plausible/possible, regarding how this universe operates, when presented with SCIENTIFIC FACT. That you can’t grasp the possible significance of phonons and consciousness, regarding how/what people hear, doesn’t make them irrelevant, or- a related conversation, "obfuscation". Someone once said, "None are so deaf as those that WILL NOT hear." |
NASA likes my speaker cables(confirmation is nice): https://www.analysis-plus.com/letterfromnasa/ |
So many opinions/observations! Anyone know anything, about what may be occurring, regarding how we perceive sound, or- the reality of what’s(possibly) happening in cables/sound systems, in the quantum world? Combine these bit’s of SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980227055013.htmAND: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/10/quantum-experiment-space-confirms-reality-what-you-make-it-0 WITH THIS: https://www.nature.com/articles/527045a and ANYTHING’S PLAUSIBLE! More, for the interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon The OP asked, " Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?" Perhaps, one day, we’ll know how to quantify/measure what’s actually happening, regarding our consciousness/observations and reality/sound(not to mention, cables). |
