| Directionality of wire Stfoth, you’ve raised a number of excellent and sincere questions during the course of this thread. Regarding your most recent question... Are the believers trying the fuses or wire switching at multiple times, trying to verify that the perceived ... | |
| Directionality of wire Stfoth 8-2-2017Perhaps this has been adequately and succinctly discussed elsewhere, but, assuming all cables are inherently directional with sound differences from one way to the other, what might be some reasons someone, with a good trained e... | |
| Directionality of wire Geoff, the gentleman asked a question, and I responded by stating a fact. It was neither an appeal to authority nor a statement that involved logic, fallacious or otherwise.Regards,-- Al | |
| Directionality of wire Stfoth, for what it's worth I spent a bit more than three decades designing and managing design of high tech electronics for use in military aircraft, and in my experience the issue of wire directionality was never even mentioned, much less addres... | |
| Directionality of wire Hi Jim (Jea48),As I’m sure you realize, both the fast moving energy and the slow moving current (defined as electron movement) are amplified by a power amplifier. And while it is the energy that propagates at near light speed that is responsible f... | |
| Directionality of wire Koestner, you raise very logical questions. And as usual, the responses and citations provided by Jim (Jea48) are correct. The key to reconciling his comments and yours is that while AC current of course alternates direction, the transfer of energ... | |
| Directionality of wire Re the experience cited by Bigkidz, if I correctly interpret that the cable was used for a digital interconnection, it would not be at all surprising for the cable to exhibit directional properties in many systems, **even if** its conductors have ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bill (Grannyring),I’ve had occasion to examine the waveforms and associated statistics of tracks from about a dozen or so CDs, encompassing pop, rock, and classical music, using a professional audio editing program (Sound Forge). Most did not h... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Missioncoonery, if I may make a friendly suggestion: When you begin a post by quoting from a post someone else made earlier in the thread, please provide some indication that the quote is a quote. Either by simply using quotation marks, "like th... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Wlutke 7-24-2017 I've researched the Lyngdorf and the idea of room correction is appealing. God knows my room could use it. On the other hand the idea of sending square waves to the speakers and having them do the smoothing curbs my enthusia... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD This paper is presented at the Brinkmann site and seems to amount almost to a point-by-point rebuttal of the concerns JA expressed. And in doing so I note that the paper goes considerably beyond what is said in the manufacturer's comment section ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses I'll vote to leave it up. Even though the thread is more concise than some other fuse-related threads that have appeared in the past (for example the "Fuses that Matter" thread that began in 2012 went on for 17 pages), arguments and rebuttals ha... | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Thanks for the additional background, Monsignor. I didn’t realize that it had a low impedance - how would that affect the sound? Compared to output impedances that are considerably higher (as is especially common among tube-based preamps and sourc... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses It is a fact that jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet without a parachute is unlikely to have a happy ending, at least assuming that a very large net is not set up on the ground. To most of those having an extensive background in electroni... | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Monsignor, I would keep in mind that most or all of the multitude of cable suggestions that have been made are based on experiences with systems that are much more accurate and musically resolving than the results you’ve indicated your setup is pr... |
