| Inexpensive speaker cables It popped up in the “active in the last 12 hours” view which is my default. I don’t double check the dates. Still an active source of quackery though! | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review MC - I said the diaphram and voice coil are isolated from the cabinet. That’s how they move. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review And by the way, compared to what is going on inside those cabinets, these vibrations from external sources are so many orders of magnitude smaller (whether additionally damped or not) they are unlikely to have any non-psychoacoustic effect at all.... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review So the sound we hear comes from the diaphragm, pushed back and forth by the voice coil within a magnetic field and restrained by a spider and a rubber surround. All the moving components are insulated brilliantly from the non-moving components. Th... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review MC - so what do you think the springs and bellows are doing? Please explain. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables Read this first before spending anything more than the cost of unbranded copper cable of the appropriate gauge. http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htmIt seems once you have the correct gauge, all that matters is good connections at each end. I... | |
| Learning To Listen I did this course and it was fantastic. Really interesting, and the exercises are challenging. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/critical-listening-for-studio-productionReally helps you spot the snake oil salesmen. | |
| Schumann Resonator It’s like being in the 14th century round here sometimes. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review The magnet isn’t meant to move of course. The coil does - probably less than a 10th the mass of the magnet. So the vibration movement of the cabinet in the vertical plane is probably a 10th of that estimate. So that’s 0.00001 mm every 200th of a s... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review So say the driver mass of (say) 1kg moves 1mm at 200 times per second (reports of improved soundstage means it must be higher frequencies that are benefitting). The cabinet moves the opposite way. If the cabinet is 100 times the mass of the driver... | |
| Solid Silver Ethernet Cable? The whole point of the Ethernet is its error-correcting protocol. Packets of data are bundled up, sent down the cable, and unbundled into identical data at the other end. There is no such thing as one network-compatible Ethernet cable sounding di... | |
| Schumann Resonator Hi Maghister - I’d never call you or anyone ‘nuts’ ! And I’ve always included myself and indeed all of us as persons vulnerable to placebo and confirmation bias. And I am totally with you when it comes to experimentation, especially the affordab... | |
| Schumann Resonator Oldhvmec - so true. Race car teams know a clean car is faster. This is where physiological effects can translate into more positive performances. The mechanics take more care. The drivers are more precise and confident. A clean car isn’t faster r... | |
| Front ported or sealed monitors for shop Absolutely, build them. Here are some designs for Mark Audio drivers, and there are loads more of course. https://frugal-phile.com/boxes-markaudio.htmlWe built my son’s monitors for his studio using Mark Audio’s Alpair 11MS drivers in a solid cher... | |
| Schumann Resonator But i dont like when people apeak always of "placebo effect".... An incremental series of positive changes accumulating in months cannot be illusory....On the contrary. Believers in homeopathy become more and more convinced over time that their wa... |
