| Who says cables don't make a difference? Care to tell me what "moves" in a cable during break in? Electrons, copper molecules ... to name a few. And they move because of heat and friction ... just like the cylinder rings changing its property due to heat and friction. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? ^^^ So are you calling "engine break-in" is also a myth? | |
| Which is more important in transmitting the sound, the information... For A) for max information transfer?For B) for shaping sound? This is too ambiguous. What do you mean by "information transfer"?And what do you mean by "shaping sound"? I don't even know what those mean. As for "max information transfer", th... | |
| good discussion on power cords but I think we can state pretty unequivocally that the goal of the power supply is to isolate the output (audio) from the input as best as possible. I would disagree with that statement. There is really no "isolation". They are all related. ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I haven’t heard of engine break-in , in at least 25 or 30 years. They used to have break-in oil. That’s really going back. One time I was test driving a brand new BMW M3, the car salesman sitting next to told me if I ever rev the engine above 4K,... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? That is weird! Especially with all those moving parts in cables. Just like a car engine. The all have moving parts for sure. Also the are all made of the same stuffs - electrons, neutrons, protons ... which can all be affected by heat, fricti... | |
| good discussion on power cords "First of all, power cords do not transmit audio signal - unlike speaker cables that transmitting audio signal.""The power cord soul purpose is to transfer the power from the wall outlet to the equipment"."How is the last few feet of cable can rea... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? For some reasons, people believe in engine break-in, but not in cable break-in ... like these two exist in different universe and obeying different laws of physics. These threads all come to the same ... may I say happy endings lols. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I love the smell of cable threads in the morning.Now cable breaking-in threads ... that's the smell of napalm. But I do notice some improvement. Before it was like "cables don't make any difference ... blah blah blah". Now at least the differen... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Andy, I think you are undercutting it by at least $500K. IMHO there is no loudspeaker worth $750,000 and certainly no system worth 1.5 mil. Maybe I'm just not rich enough. I can understand $250,000 for a system which is about what my ultimate dr... | |

| Two Canadians and a Dane walk into a bar.... (bookshelf advice) To b_limo,I created a thread at diyaudio.com so if you could post the xover there. The cap may have been used for impedance correction so it may not be in the signal path. Without impedance correction, the impedance might be too high. https://w... | |
| Two Canadians and a Dane walk into a bar.... (bookshelf advice) With regard to the Fritz Carrera BE, it is claimed the xover does not have any capacitor or resistor. It is interesting to know how he can match the efficiency of the tweeter and the woofer. The BE dome is about 92 - 95dB whereas the woofer is aro... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science IM distortion seems to be the only really important one as far as sound quality goes. It is one of many variables. Two drivers, one with lower IM does not necessarily really mean it is the better, although having low IM is important. Another... | |
| Thiel Owners yesterday's HiFi Chats via YouTube featured Dave Gordon of ARC. Fast forward to around 30:15 where Dave said "not all USB cables sound the same". I am sure a lot of people will have issues with that :-) |
