| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Can I be a sonar operator? I mean I don't have any "golden ears", but I can hear just as well as the next guy :-) | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts I can't decide whether prof is being sarcastic or serious. | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts The free electrons in a conductor in an AC circuit move back and forth verrry slowly, a meter per hour. Net velocity equal zero. Whereas the signal itself travels at near lightspeed in wire. Now, think back to high school, which probably won’t b... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science "Linear Time Invariant systems are important because we could solve them" Richard Feynman.Once we get into the non-linear things, it can get complicated real fast. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science As you narrow down the scope of the problem to some specific variables, then measurements can be used to quantify the "goodness" of that something. For example, it may be hard to judge how good a pair of speaker with measurement, but if the devic... | |
| A cable question, sort of... I've found a similar thread on another forum with this quote which I found sort of funny. Some people would go in great length trying to prove coiling does not make any difference. Notice the words " no appreciable effect", as if there's no eff... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science Yes, there are measurements and they are valid, but nobody that I’ve known of could figure out how to measure our "hearing".For example, there is no measurement I’ve known of that can tell how good a woofer is by just looking at the freq. and phas... | |
| A cable question, sort of... No it doesn’t but I have the same degree from less known university plus 40 years experience as a design engineer in electronics (many different fields) and I can judge about somebody’s competence. The fact that you don’t or cannot understand the ... | |
| 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, ... |
