Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?
atmasphere5,896 posts02-02-2018 8:23amGee, and all I'm trying to do is learn about the science behind the Synergistic blue fuse which uses Quantum Inductive Coupling. Can anyone explain that to me in a non-technical manner?Yes. Anytime you see the word 'quantum' associated with an audio product, it is an indication that you should turn around and run! +many 1's and some. Cheers George |
If I were trying to sell high end stuff on these forums based on anecdotal subjective sonic performance then I would not welcome technical comments, Correct as technical comments could prove that product to be unsuitable to do a specific job it may have been asked/touted to do. Severe EG: $20k Wavac 300b SE monoblocks to drive Wilson Alexia .9ohm load in the bass speakers. Cheers George |

Can anyone explain that to me in a non-technical manner? This is going to be real good and how it applies to a fuse ! Your up Geoff!! Cheers George |
Thinkers want the technical detail and call that the truth. Romantics dismiss that Hang on Elizabeth!, just because one understands the technical side, doesn’t mean your not an "Audiophile" who doesn’t love music also. Because if they didn’t love music they wouldn’t be here!! They’d be on "fridge circuits anonymous" or something, or some pure tech head forum. The gods of Audio EG: Pass, Curl, Hansen ect hang out for tech discussions, and they are Audiophiles. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/index.php or http://www.diyhifi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=2 But an "Audiophile"/Romantic who also loves music, can have not one shred of knowledge, and will therefore not understand it and tend to dismiss if an ignorant or snake oil purveyor .

onhwy614,007 posts01-25-2018 1:30amBecause usually there is a purely technical reason why some equipment or combination of equipment sounds the way it does.+1 minorl571 posts01-25-2018 6:01am+1 The only ones complaining about it are just "some" (not all) of the ones that don’t understand technical reasons, it baffles them, they tend to bury their heads in the sand and believe it’s all witchcraft that gets the good sounds, they can speak that BS as there’s no proving anything. If they just did a 2 week basic electronic course they would understand a lot better and stop whining about what they don’t understand. PS: They wouldn’t last 2 seconds at these places, where all the brains of this industries live and breath for a bit of banter. People like Pass, Curl, Hansen rip, ect ect ect all reside at these links, why because there’s no BS witchcraft in design, just technology and measurements. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/index.php or http://www.diyhifi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=2 Cheers George |
The only way to know the affect on a circuit of a particular part is to build x then take out the part in question, and put in the other part and then listen.Yes, using what before listening? That's right!! the dreaded laws of electronics test equipment and measurements. There isn't a piece of audio equipment worth it's salt that hasn't been designed using these, and if there were, I'd suggest a very wide berth. Cheers George |
Without technical reasons as well as subjective reasons for X vs Y, then the BS will flow unquestioned, and then that would be a voodoo forum. When posters ask for advise for a problem or choice on something, I think it only helpful to give them not just recommendations, but a technical reason why those recommendations are given, otherwise you could be talking through your hat. Too many times I've seen advice given on say what to amp to buy, without them first knowing what speaker that amp is going to have to drive, or visa versa. Or on the danger side of things, suggestions of some to owners play to around with different value mains fuses, by those that should clearly not be suggesting anything in this area. Cheers George |
