| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) However, there is a point of diminishing returns, and the cost should be commensurate with the cost and quality of your other equipment. I think that is true within the context of the overall system cost. For example, if system A costs 10K and... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) First I am not in the cable manufacturing business so this is just my guess.I was wondering the reason audio grade cables are so expensive not because of their own intrinsic quality but simply has to do with economy of scales. These high end cabl... | |
| The Science of Cables I feel guilty making fun of Prof. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) It still makes little sense to me (0's and 1's). I've tried to look at tests like at ASR... but man it's the first time I really felt I can hear a difference. Yes, it's more than 1's and 0's. It has to do with jitter which can be a bit co... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm sure there is a differential equation or some such thingee that likely explains all that there. Maybe prof is working on it ... a Nobel prize candidate. | |
| The Science of Cables Life is "life or death" and very serious. | |
| The Science of Cables It's interesting that the "objective" posts are all about attacking that have nothing to do with engineering or science. | |
| The Science of Cables After reading some of the posts in this thread, it's interesting and ironic that the posts from the "subjective" camp seemed to have a better grasp of science whereas the "objective" camp was just content to regurgitate what they "read" and believ... | |
| The Science of Cables There innumerable ways to lumped L, C & R parameters. The signal responds to an infinite series of µL µC & µR. GEOMETRY is every bit as important. "Lumped parameter" is an approximation. The actual (at least as far as one can approxima... | |
| The Science of Cables Most people try to gain greater transparency by upping the intensity of the light ( in cable speak upping high frequencies which has been the standard method used for decades now to try to achieve some modicum of transparency ) we just clean the... | |
| The Science of Cables I quickly went to Iconoclast website to see how much a pair of 8ft speaker cables cost - about 1400 to 2400 depending on the material and configuration. Definitely not cheap! My current cables is Acoustic Zen Hologram II which is $1200 at 8ft. ... | |
| The Science of Cables Has anyone tried Iconoclast cables? How they compared to some high end cables such as SilTech Crystal Absolute Dream that costs about $9K each?I've read the articles from Iconoclast and it's refreshing to see someone who discussed these issues wi... | |
| The Science of Cables lols there are about 15 pages so there is no way I'll read through them all. But anyway, some conclusions are needed.-----------------YES, cables do make a difference and I think we (or most of us) would agree. If you don't agree with this, then... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? The question to ask (from my college Psychology 101) is can you step into the same river twice?In the same vein, can you listen to music on the same cable twice? | |
| Class A Solid State Sound output stage using exclusively n-channel devices for both the positive and negative signals This topology may not have low enough output impedance vs. push-pull complementary N/P pair. And output impedance is freq. dependent so may be that cou... |
