| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science I recall Einstein's thought experiments ... before his time, it's kind of hard to find equipment like oscilloscopes, DMM, atom smasher and stuffs. All he had was his mind and his own thought experiments. Now with the advent of new technology, pe... | |
| A cable question, sort of... AFAIK Masters in EE in prestigious Columbia University. What about you? EE as well. Just because he has a Master in EE, does not mean he's right all the time. | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts I hate to rain on your electrical engineering parade but electrons don’t move inside the wire, they are essentially motionless. Photons do move in the wire but photons don’t have mass so they can’t produce friction or heat. Whut? Photons have ... | |
| A cable question, sort of... When you argue with him on technical subjects (I wouldn’t) better check first if you have his education and experience. OK, what level of education does he have that nobody should argue with him? | |
| A cable question, sort of... Kijanki is correct that coiling a cable in which the + and - conductors are twisted together or at least bundled together closely will not increase inductance to any significant degree. That’s not what he said that which I was arguing about. The ... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts As for breaking-in ...Most people would believe that car engines need some breaking-in, but for some reason, people have a hard time of grasping the breaking-in of cables. Cables and engines are made of the same electrons, protons, neutrons and s... | |
| A cable question, sort of... As I said, common choke works because of mutual inductance coupling between the positive and negative. Coiling up the cable will not increase the mutual inductance since they wire still running in parallel in respect to each other. Not only that, ... | |
| A cable question, sort of... Cable has two wires that create magnetic flux in opposite direction and coiling them would create something that is called "Common Mode Choke" i think there’s a difference with common choke. In a common choke, the positive and negative have mutua... | |
| A cable question, sort of... No, you don’t. You’re not coiling the wire. You are coiling the cable (big difference). Look at the link at my previous post. It’s just the same. I said "wire" but I could have said "cable". When you coil up either a wire or cable (pick your lang... | |
| A cable question, sort of... When you "coil" up the wire, you affectively create a parasitic inductor. If the cable is long enough that may end up to have too much inductance from the coiling affect, the parasitic inductance may create some resonance which in turn could make... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Again there is no scientific data to support this notion. Cryogenic treatment can improve the durability of certain metals, usually steel, by stabilizing impurities. For example, the process is used to create strong tools or car parts. Anothe... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Additionally, some variations are constructed with silver-plated copper. However, because the metals have different conductivities, the sound is more likely to travel through only the silver plating and not the copper.Apparently ShieldedCable cont... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts CABLE MYTHS1. Conductor skin effect Conductor material plays a role These two statements are in contradiction.Not sure if ShieldedCable has any credibility. For some reason, skin effect matters in conductor materials but at the same time sayi... | |
| Thiel Owners I know for certain that many amp, cable and source practitioners and critics use Thiel as a tool to "see into" the source chain. I find that significant. I find that interesting is that now it’s probably harder to purchase Thiel speakers, what sp... | |
| Thiel Owners I and my clients can hear the difference between a correct, unaltered take, vs one that has been "linearized" Personally I also have my doubt as to the "software linearization" technique. It just seems too easy. Also we don’t know what type of ha... |
