| Directional wires/cables Do you even understand what response to impulse is, or how this is relevant to any and all signals? Very clearly not. Kindly stop posting things that do not have any connection to physics, history or reality, but only to your totally incorrect und... | |
| Directional wires/cables @thecarpathian Thanks for the info. I'm glad to know I'm not the only victim of random ramblings. 😉 Best wishes! | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 Honestly, one of the best and easiest-to-follow physics-level (rather than engineering-level) explanation of how an electric signal travels through a cable is the one by Veritasium that I linked above. Here it is again. Derek discusses the... | |
| Directional wires/cables The cargo cultist is still posting - that is you, @rodman99999 At that moment he realized: if he tried to explain what he was learning, there was no way his dad could understand. This seems to be the situation indeed. You keep posting things t... | |
| Directional wires/cables @retiredaudioguy FYI. In 1965 I got a 1st class honors degree (summa cum laude) in Mathematics, with Physics as a minor. My dad was a physicist (and a fellow of the Institute of Physics) and my elder brother taught high school students who we... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 PERHAPS: that’s changed in recent years and I missed it Yes, that’s changed in "recent years" (very much in quotes). I graduated in 1990, I have kept myself professionally up-to-date since (unlike you, clearly), and none of the s... | |
| Directional wires/cables @billpete What about ones that do not have directionality in mind? Will they "learn" to be better in one direction than the other? This would mean that they physically changed over time. No, they won't - there is no "direction" to an AC signa... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 As simple a device as a fuse is: it still carries a sinusoidal signal/voltage, ALWAYS from source to load. NOT back and forth! Also (as mentioned above): any fuse acts as an RLC circuit, the ’C’ of which will be determined by prop... | |
| Directional wires/cables Not to start a war here, but it is physics not sentienticy, and grain configuration/stresses in the metal do affect electron flow @jeffbij Not to continue the war, but while the existence of crystalline grains affecting electron flow may have a... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Yep. I "finished" in 1996. Restarted now because one component decided it was no longer playing nice with the rest (50 Hz humming on one channel - only when connected to a specific pre-amp), so needed a new DAC. And now, the anxiety over 'do I nee... | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? Decreasing marginal returns are as true in audio as anywhere else - possibly truer, considering how much one can spend with audio gear. Value... different, and totally personal assessment. To me, $50k in audio is "unthinkable", but I have happily... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore I cannot bother with listening to horrible recordings/masterings/mixes of great music that come out of my speakers sounding like hammered dogcrap. Totally understand the sentiment. However, I just replaced my jurassic-era DAC, and I have to be ... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Never had a tuner. Listen a lot to the radio in the car, primarily for news/discussion programs, occasionally for music (BBC 3). | |
| Need a little help Let me try to recap (!), saying some things that so far have perhaps been taken too much for granted: 1. The NAD is a much better piece of equipment than the Pioneer. Unless you need/want the tuner section of the Pioneer as a source or as a part ... | |
| How can they not effect the sound That is, with the right screwdriver or Allen wrench the whole thing comes apart and gives you access to the back of the dome. ...and occasionally to the ferrofluid hosted in the magnetic gap, or what's left of it. |
