| The Physics of Electricity Postscript: Furutech is also the company that fills or covers the tiny physical imperfection on the surface of wire using some kind of nano tech. You know, to produce a level playing field for the current traveling on the surface. Similar to the A... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I suspect Michael Green might be on to something when he says he went to very low mass systems, especially low mass amplifiers. If thy eye đ offend thee pluck it out. Itâs no secret that big honking transformers produce toxic magnetic fields that ... | |
| Power cord recommendation for a dac? Analysis Plus Pro Power Oval Power Cable has got to be one of the most cost effective audiophile cords out there. Wattgate connectors, braided oval conductor, clear jacket. You can pick one up on line all day long for around $100 bucks/5 feet. Can... | |
| The Physics of Electricity This just in from Furutech,âAlpha OCC-DUCC Speaker Bulk Cable DSS-4.1Furutechâs α (Alpha) OCCâDUCC is one of a select few of conductors that Furutech engineers have found to excel in sound reproduction. α (Alpha) OCC âDUCC is constructed using a c... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s At least the Japanese companies are hip. đŹ | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Amazing Sonics on that one. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Quick interrupt! Here are some things you canât measure. We have a lexicon of audiophile terms that most people understand. Thatâs how we communicate. TransparencySoundstage heightAirWetnessSweetnessPresenceBeautyGrainCongealed | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s Anyone else notice how many rave reviews the new top of the line Audioquest power cords get, like Hurricane? You know, the ones that are controlled for directionality. Do any other power cord companies do that? I tend to doubt it. Whatâs weird is ... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Geez, the chances are actually pretty good youâre sitting smack dab in the middle of a standing wave anyway so whatâs the difference? Whatâs needed is a system. Whatâs needed is mapping out the whole room with a SPL meter. Then at least you have a... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Thereâs worse things you could do. Many of them I canât talk about because of the you know, banning. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Becoming iron actually doesnât guarantee it will become a black hole. Far from it. Only compressed stars with mass greater than 3-4 solar masses will become black holes. The rest will become something else, a Neutron Star. Of course, no iron or an... | |
| System synergies: Chaotic or predictable? We observe, we describe. We do the same thing with picture quality, describe it using characteristics we can all understand. Itâs a little silly to pretend we donât understand each other. We describe picture quality thusly,SharpnessNoiseDynamic ra... | |
| speaker plinths Yes, just make sure the footprint of the plinth is sufficiently large compared to the speaker footprint to avoid any unfortunate accidents such as the speaker accidentally tipping over and crashing through the window. Been there, done that. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Skin effect to the rescue! Mystery solved! The current travels inside the conductor. In the case of a fuse, if the current traveled outside the fuse wire it would not melt when required. Hel-loo, people!Distribution of current flow in a cylindrica... | |
| The Physics of Electricity A few comments. The subject of the thread is speaker cables or wires, and the audio signal, not power cords. Also, why do cables with shielding often sound worse than cables without shielding if shielding is supposed to be all that? Finally, the s... |
