| Why is the snake oil topic closed? shadorneHuh? Quantum mechanics and black holes don’t make sense. It all makes total sense to me but I dont go in to the detail of these things with preconceived notions. Einstein made that mistake.>>>>>>A great man once said anyo... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I would be remiss if I did not mention that this whole thing could simply be another case of copies always sounding better than the originals. You know, like copies of CDs always sounding better than the originals. I know, I know, you thought that... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. There are a lot of reasons why systems sound shrill. Especially as the volume is turned past moderate levels. But one reason that is not even on audiophiles’ radar is the dreaded Morphic fields. You know, the things behind Morphic Message Foils, t... | |
| Power Cords It's refreshing to see at least one power cord manufacturer who is conscious of the directionality of wire in general and of the power cord specifically. The correct answer to my question regard g the best sounding color for the jacket of any Cabl... | |
| Vibration isolation I suspect you’ll find isolation devices like springs and roller bearings under speakers prevent mechanical feedback to other components, via the floor. It doesn’t make sense that springs or roller bearings (primarily) prevent seismic vibration fro... | |

| Vibration isolation Super stiff springs like Townshend’s and your humble scribe’s are extremely stiff in the lateral direction, which is actually how you can support very heavy objects with springs in the first place. If I diasagree with Townshend so be it. I didn’t ... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? It’s nice that you honor science and engineering but surely you must be aware that if nothing else science is full of surprises.BIG SURPRISES! You know, black holes, gravity waves, which by the day, could not (repeat not) be measured for decades a... | |
| Power Cords So, let me ask you. Do you have a good feel for how the color of the cable jacket affects the sound, since you seem to know all about this sort of thing? | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Actually the word plane is correct since isolation occurs for ALL DIRECTIONS in the horizontal plane. Whereas the vertical direction is not a plane. Nor are twist, rock, roll. They are directions. Lets twist again like we did last summer! | |
| Rear Channel fill The digital time delay of yore was the best for rear channels, since the rear channels should produce only the ambient sound that is comprised mostly of reverberant decay. The rear channels were rolled off above 7 kHz as I recall. I had the six ch... | |
| Vibration isolation You don’t put roller bearings under a rack, silly, you put them under the components on the rack. For speakers you don’t actually have the same situation as seismic type vibration as almost all the speaker vibration is vertical, i.e., toward the f... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Ah, couldn’t think of a good argument, eh? That's a shame. | |
