The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste
If you’re referring to the speed of the signal there is virtually no difference through copper or silver. In both cases it’s near lightspeed.  
Theoretical question about how CD's work
fleschlergeoffkait: generic, thin, bass shy, brittle, honky, synthetic, congealed sound. That maybe your definition of CD reproduction, but it isn’t mine or half a dozen close friends of mine. While we all appreciate the sound of a good LP, the av... 
Theoretical question about how CD's work
One wonders why the Labs 47 Shigaraki CD player doesn’t advertise the advantage wrt scattered light, compared to closed designs. I imagine some stray light scattered off the pits will get into the detector but less than closed transports, I.e., ev... 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
A prize to the winner of the pop quiz. 🤗

Pop quiz  🤗 If the real Schumann frequency wavelength is 25,000 miles how does the Schumann frequency generator produce a frequency of 7.8 Hz in the room? Hint - the length of the antenna required is proportional to the wavelength.

Longer waves either acoustic or electromagnetic wrap themselves around the boundaries of the room. That’s how you get a 25,000 mile EM wave in the room.

You missed my pop quiz, please go back...😀

Just popping in Pop! 🍾 to say the 20 kHz frequency is acoustic so it’s wavelength is actually very short, 1.7 cm. On the other hand, the Schumann frequency 7.8 Hz is in the electromagnetic spectrum so it’s wavelength is extremely long, I.e. circum... 
which car is sitting in your listening room?
My second choice? Hmmmm...Messerschmidt. Yeah, baby!  
Whats playing on your system today?
Track no. 9 on the XLO Test CD. You know, the one for system burn-in. Rrrrr-eeee-unnnnh! Rrrr-eeee-unnnnh! Etc. I’m well into day 2. 
The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste
For very high frequency applications like USB cables wouldn’t pure silver strands or silver plated copper strands be best, given that the signals travel very close to the surface of the conductors? Controlling the USB cables for directionality - a...

Apparently mapman’s butt is still stinging from something I said. Get well soon, Moops.

You still have not explained why or how the Schumann frequency improves the sound. It would be nice for either a physical, electronic or psychological explanation. It seems rather far-fetched that the human brain is influenced by or requires an ex...

It is not (rpt not) true that NASA installed Schumann Frequency generators on the Shuttle for the well-being of the astronauts. I don’t know how that rumor got started but you can find it as a selling point for some wellness web sites. 👩‍🚀Also, th...

I’ve been following with interest the Schumann Frequency device ever since Acoustic Revive introduced it all those years ago (12) and even tried a Schumann frequency CD, that produces an audio I.e., acoustic wave in the room of 7.8 Hz through spea...
