| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings Yes, I have heard it. One of the great Mercurys. | |
| Does the MAPLESHADE STATIC DRAINING BRUSH work? That's nice but a static electric charge is quite different from a magnetic field. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Some shields are for vicinity of big magnets of speakers which are high gauss high frequency, others like the typical mu metal these days is for low gauss low frequency applications such as around components, transformers. Cheers,Geoff Kait | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? To reduce the toxic effects of magnetic fields on all wiring, electrical elements, etc. all transformers - especially big honking toroidal transformers and transformers the size of apartment buildings - should be entirely covered top, bottom and a... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction The most important thing in this hobby is keeping an open mind. Which can be rather challenging when one considers some of the things that have come down the pike such as wire directionality. Demagnetization of CDs. Demagnetization of cables. The ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Anyone see the irony? Noel Lee of Monster Cable talking about hearing the difference between capacitors. | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings The early "tulip" Deutsche Gramophon label is the tip off for the really good sounding LPs. I agree when record companies went from tubes to solid state that marked the end of the golden era. It happened to RCA and many others, too. I also think t... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Everyone talks about data but no one ever does anything about it. How come reviewers never measure cables or fuses? Too lazy? | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48, excellent point. One wonders why nobody ever measures wire or cables or fuses to see if they meaure differently when inserted into the system one direction or the other. Wait, someone did meaure fuse directionality! Is that good enough for ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Al, thanks for keeping me straight. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Al, what difference does it make if the speed of the electromagnetic wave is variable? For the purpose of argument let's say the speed vary between half the speed of light (or about ninety thousand miles per second) and say 3/4 speed of light (or ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Actually the differences in wire directionality have been measured. These measurements appear on the data sheets on the Hi Fi Tuning fuses web site. Also provided are differences between cryo'd and non cryo'd fuses (wire). Hel-loo! | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction By the way, there is probably no doubt about wire directionality being produced by the final die since cable manufacturers have been marking the wire as it comes off the spool for decades in order to be able to correctly mark the cables with ARROW... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48, not sure why you asked the last question, the one about flipping solid core silver, since silver or any metal solid or stranded conductor should exhibit directionality since they are crystal structures. Which brings me to this rather distur... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction An electromagnetic wave is not current. They are completely different animals. Even their units are different. The electromagnetic wave is comprised of photons. That's why satellite radio signals move at light speed. In fact in a vacuum they can O... |
