| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Photons. Hmm. Maybe that was the mail order NASA school...Actually, photons conducting in a wire is about as likely as you working at NASA which is to say neither happened. | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? AC current is not flowing through the fuse. Energy is, in the form of an electromagnetic wave. That energy cannot exist without the current flow. You are correct in that electromagnetism is always there but it can’t exist without current! This lin... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? with a much higher DF-that is, with a relatively high impedance, like many tube amps have. Damping factors of probably at least 20, which is probably 10 times higher than the Atmasphere S30. No wonder my friend’s friend got no bass from the S30... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Sorry to report, atmasphere, the dude from Audioquest was actually referring to folks like you who insist that any directionality in the sound is due to the shield and who keep insisting there is not such thing as wire directionality whether it... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Uh, I don’t think so. That was kind of the whole point of the Audioquest dude’s article on wire directionality. You know, the article you apparently mis-read. Besides, if a shield was connected at both ends of the cable you couldn’t really blam... | |
| New Mag-Lev Turntable But... when you dampen you can also lose extension. If you are really experiencing this then the damping is not working as you surmise. Its impossible to overdamp for vibration if the damping is indeed working correctly! | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? @jetter Usually the shield is connected at both ends.<facepalm>Jea48 wrote,"The audio signal travels down the wire in the form of an electromagnetic wave from the source to the load."Bingo! All the young dudes carry the news, the young dudes... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? There is the widely accepted version of directionality: In most audio-grade shielded interconnects, as compared to standard coax, negative has its own internal conductor and the metal shield is attached to ground at only one end, thus defining ... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Crystal orientation in OFC and in Ohno Continuous Casting manufacturing predicts that there is directionality in metals that may influence the sound quality.I don't dispute that but such does not suggest directionality.Every cables have directio... | |
| Class D Technology Whatever Ralph meant the mid-fi comment did make me laugh knowing that the sound I hear from practical Class D amps today (like the ones I own which are neither the least or most expensive) is not mid-fi by any reasonable listening standard. @m... | |
| Class D Technology Yes, I have read this thread in its entirety. You could not have made it anymore clear. Go back to the beginning of this thread and read your own post. Not a false statement.Obviously I could have been more clear or this conversation would not be ... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? @jea48 so-- if the electrons flow easier one way then the other (a reasonable interpretation of the first paragraph), what happens? Do they not all make it back on the return cycle?Obviously the answer is ’No.’, as an excess of electrons would occ... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? The lattice structure of solidus wire, ie, electron orbital locked frozen crystalline wire, it can and mostly will be directional, depending on the method of creation.How do you square this with the cable carrying an AC signal? | |
| Class D Technology Yet you, Mr. Designer, dismiss Class D as nothing more than midfi.......Apparently you've not read this thread or you would not have said that; IOW this statement is false. Lower cost for manufactures, which seems to result in higher margins inst... | |
| Class D Technology 1. They are extremely quiet, having THE HIGHEST S/N Ratio and THE WIDEST DYNAMIC RANGE of any amp type, with almost no audible background noise and highly detailed. I can turn my volume control to maximum without any source playing, put my ear... |
