| The Science of Cables At this time I have no particular instruction apart from manufacturer intended recommendations on directionality of Schroeder Method ICs. | |
| The Science of Cables So, we have skeptics, I'm sure, who use a higher AWG speaker cable. Ok, so Canare insists that what yields better sound is lower AWG. (I concur; I have confirmed it through numerous listening comparisons.)Canare has a chart showing DF in relation ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic beanstalks, welcome; I see you are new to the site, at least in terms of participating in discussions. Thank you for what appears to be very positive, unbiased feedback in regards to Schroeder Method. I couldn't remember the details of your first ... | |
| The Science of Cables Pro audio cables are expensive and not a good value when you consider that skeptics should be using lamp cord. They should be using the interconnects from their 1980's stereo. That is, if they want to be consistent. After all, they think no one ca... | |
| The Science of Cables Canare is obviously more scientific than Mogami. All you who bought Mogami aren't very scientific. Canare has better charts, and even a DF chart. Much more scientific. Absolutely proves Canare sounds better. As we all know, a DF chart demonstrates... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm sure that at this point our cable skeptics are really appreciating the gross generalizations I have made. i.e. cable skeptics are chintzy. It's not so different than gross generalizations characterizing persons who use (even expensive) afterma... | |
| The Science of Cables When aftermarket cable makers measure, that's not good enough, huh? David Salz at WireWorld, Grant at Shunyata... No good, eh? When Mogami measures, that's good enough. Hyprocrites. Imo, you're cheapskates. Your wallet rules your decisions. You do... | |
| The Science of Cables Note also the myriad of factors Mogami says go in to a cable: "There is no single magic bullet for cable design. Superior design is a mix of conductor material, dielectric, conductor and shield geometry, jacket stiffness, along with fanatical dedi... | |
| The Science of Cables I love the "scientific" silhouette of a man sitting in Lotus position - perhaps uttering a mantra - at the Mogami Cable site. Real scientific. Mogami will give you a religious experience, all right. You'll feel holy and clean as you consider yours... | |
| The Science of Cables Is there an acknowledgment of the impact of AWG? Do our skeptics ever compare cables of similar conductor for differences sonically between higher and lower AWG? | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Perhaps I should qualify my description of the poorer XLR connectors; I said that they were lacking in frequency extension. That may not be technically correct, as it would have to be measured. I would have been more accurate to describe it as lac... | |
| The Science of Cables danvignau, imo you are ignorant on both points. But, to not inflame the discussion further, I will refrain from commenting further. I do not care to engage you in a debate here, if it would mean that the moderators would pull the thread - a very r... | |
| The Science of Cables glupson, I'm not making any promotion of burn in. So, you can lay aside that argument against trying Schroeder Method ICs. Double ICs need no burn in to sound superior to single IC. I advise that you make the comparison to single IC as soon as you... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic routlaw, yes, I would presume that some companies, perhaps most who would implement Schroeder Method would want a bit cleaner product, and in so doing put both cables into one sheath. But, then again, there's no going back, no switching up when yo... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic routlaw, thanks for your well thought out reply. You seem to be advocating a DIY version of Schroeder Method, which certainly can be done. I was shooting for proof of concept when I used splitters and Y-cables. Also, it’s much less work to assembl... |
