The definition of a metal is that it conducts electricity, so it would exhibit those properties whether in liquid or solid phase. We are talking about room temperature and normal atmospheric pressures? What any of that has to do with quantum states is what befuddles me.
Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea?
Hi Goners,
To keep an extra unused interconnect cable broken-in, so that when needed it is at its best performance, my plan is to connect it to the TapeOut of the preamp and back to an unused Input on the same preamp.
Will this work? Do you see any negative effects of doing this? Could it affect the overall sound from the pre?
What do you folks think? Good idea or not.
Thanks.

I think that is the intention, but not to befuddle you, but the potential buyer. In most metals, there is a significant drop in conductivity in the liquid state as the atomic lattice is no longer ideal for conduction. Significant being a 50% drop. In some metals, those that are typically poor conductors, they conductivity goes up in the liquid state. Some of them are liquid at room temperature. |
Rather han liquidise metal (copper requires
1,084.4°C to melt), go into the most cold and use super conductivity... None is possible nor relevant. But why not go crazy after the snake oil sellers. Let them set our agenda. Let's talk logically: Copper conductors are not individual to the interconnecting cables. The entire "inside" is copper conductors: PCB, wiring etc. Those are way longer than the interconnecting cables length. Why that part is left untouched? What about all electronic equipment that has a way higher significance than an audio interconnecting cables: Space equipment, Airborn, medical, measuring instrumentation, Military, Naval and many more. None had that requirement or say. Audiophiles DO! Re thing the subject. |
