| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? I have a PhD in materials science and close to 2 decades in semiconductors, semiconductor processing, and associate equipment, including forays into process measurement and control ... well exposed to signals in noisy environment. Doing much of th... | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered If you are using a transformer for audio signals, then the least of your worries is conductivity of a wire. Magnets are not superconductive. The conductors in electro-magnets can be, but they are not treated to create superconductivity, they need... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? I would expect though, @atmasphere, that powerful less efficiency speakers have considerably more thermal mass at least, so more thermal transient immunity. I have no feel for their relative ability to dissipate heat though. Certainly they have co... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? @ditusa , one would expect that some advancements have been made in the last --- 60 --- years. @atmasphere , I would think that the frequency effects of compression would be more worrying than a change in maximum output? Perhaps this is another c... | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered The common definition today is self awareness. The soul is just a construct of those afraid to die, permanently. | |
| Why Rhodium? Poor conductor Hard which makes for reduced mating contact surface. Only used in audio Uneducated consumer I am sure there are more reasons. Current estimates are a leading edge semiconductor plant costs $10-20 Billion (that's 9 zeros).... | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? Single ended RCA cable, the ground is connected on both sides, there is no choice. If there is an additional shield, typically is it better to only connect it on one side. | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? You are looking at this more theoretically than practically. Excuse me as my expertise is physics (and managing EEs) not day to day EE and a lot of time around semiconductor processing equipment, some of it quite noisy while trying to do precision... | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? All those examples you gave Kijanki are differential connections where the impedance in each leg is the same. EMI induces a current. The equal impedance means those equal and opposing currents generate equal and opposing voltages which cancel. ... | |
| Analog vs. digital That is quite the imagination @monacousticusa | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered Does the following passage from the article give credence to the claims of hi end cable and power conditioning manufacturers? The answer is NO! Hell No!! | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? I am not ignoring that it is a coaxial cable because it is not a co-axial cable -- the axis of the conductors is not consistent in a twisted pair with shield. Much of the benefit of a coax is the symmetrical arrangement of the shield w.r.t. the ce... | |

| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) It probably has to do with the limited market for foreign language elevator music though with that shrieking in the middle it could have people reaching for the stop button. | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) If is is great music, why are none of those awful media people trying to promote it and make money off of it? Commercial music of today is horrible... Uglier than possible... As music is nothing ever more than a personal experience, th... |
