Unbelievable


Yamaha really made this statement:

Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance

I thought I would seek opportunity to hear these speakers, but now I do not think so

*L*  Glupson, is it a romance or a bromance?

Great parody, tho.... What would be an appropo instrumental to back it up with?

(The mind wanders into obscure terror tories....) *smirk*
....and why does my 'puter keep throwing ads like this....

...on the sidebar?!   I'd look horrible in that....and it's terribly distracting from the intelligent conversations I read in AG.....
geoffkait,

"cd318, as oft happens with you my post went over your head, which I’m beginning to suspect is a bit pointed. But don’t think I don’t appreciate the stalking. 🤗"


In that case you won’t mind me wishing you the best of luck with your fishing in amongst the pools of all those poor unsuspecting audio newcomers.

Just be careful with that all pseudo scientific magic atoms gobbledygook you’re using as bait!
Good luck in your endeavors as a history major. Or drum major. I read your post twice but still didn’t see an apology.
Robbertttddidd, do you write your own material? If so I suggest you hire a ghostwriter ASAP. Your comebacks stink and are repetitious. boooorrrring!
geoffkait.

You would like an apology?

OK, here's one Mr Magic Atoms.

I'm really sorry for exposing you for the fraudulent and tireless shill merchant that you are. 

Good enough?


Anyway, back to question at hand, does Yamaha's claim stand up?

"Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance — and adds to the luxurious joy of ownership"

Or is it simply marketing gumpf?

I'm going with the former, because it's Yamaha and they build some great electric pianos, but a few cabinet resonance charts to back up their claim wouldn't hurt, would they?
Not exactly. Resonances produce distortion. But you were close, very close. The signal becomes distorted by resonances induced or external. The signal itself in cables and cords and wire is not vibratory.
In the framework of "Signal to noise" which is a measurement, cabinet resonances are not noise, but could present as distortion. If you want to be pedantic magic pebble man, resonances induced that are not at the frequency of the stimulus will measure as distortion. If you are going to be pedantic, at least be right. 


The thread is about speaker finishings. Bringing up what happens in a cable is called lack of self control.
asvjerry,

"A finger piano and kazoo?"
I would let the boys decide if they want to use the finger. As I said, I would not interfere.
geoffkait,

"Your comebacks stink and are repetitious."
Come on, out of all people you?

Toot, toot!
