| Width of Stage Generally there is information missing on CD playback. It not very obvious because you get used to the medium and you don’t know what you’re missing until you compare mediums. There are a number of reasons why stock out-of-the-box CD playback cann... | |
| Simple question, or is it... Mass. Of course the audio signal in cables and wires has no mass if you subscribe to the idea that it’s an electromagnetic wave. You know, with the mass of photons these days being what it is. Jump on it! | |
| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? I only want a reasonable facsimile of what’s on the recording. I’ll leave it to others to try to get live music at home. 😐 As Bob Dylan is fond of saying at the end of all his records, good luck with that, dude! Music soothes the savage breast. | |
| Simple question, or is it... sniffThe forces themselves remain occult qualities. If our physical and mathematical descriptions were equal to the phenomena they describe, then the real meaning of existence could ultimately be expressed in a formula—as Douglas Adams parodies th... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Almarg and atmosphere get credit for their initially interesting but ultimately kind of lame and easily disproven theory that fuse “directionality“ is produced by the irregularity of the fuse holder, not by the fuse wire per se. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? glupson4,808 posts05-13-2020 1:37pm"In the case the solid wire conductor being pulled through a die the deformation is primarily in 2 dimensions. Hence the directionality."Primarily maybe, only not. Which makes the explanation not quite strong. So... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Just happy if it keeps you on your toes. Good luck to you. 🤗 | |
| Simple question, or is it... Be happy with what you got. I’m pretty sure they don’t teach physics courses in the 4-H Club. 🍀 🐄 | |
| Simple question, or is it... Knowledge can be defined as what’s left after you subtract out all the stuff you learned in school but forgot a long time ago. Past a certain point information retention is replaced by a different kind of retention. 😬 | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? heaudioUhmmmm, most copper wires for flexible cable is annealed, which does cause recrystalization and improves conductivity, but importantly also makes it softer and more workable (and less likely to break). Some copper wire is intentionally not ... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? You better look 👀 around for a better explanation, dude. Even a ball peen hammer can’t reform the crystals. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again. 😳 | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Apparently all you have to do is mention wire polishing and suddenly all the helmet polishers come out of the woodwork. djones51After they pull wire it goes through annealing and recrystalization occurs. Controlled for direction is market speak. T... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? OK, so pulling the wire through the final die deforms the symmetrical metal crystals of the wire especially on the surface but also below the surface, probably all the way to the center of the wire. Then the metals crystals look like the quills on... | |
| Feeling Tweaky Everything must be tweaked. 🤗“When Bob Gilliland made the first flight of the SR-71 on December 22, 1964, engineers were still tweaking 379 items on the aircraft. That didn’t deter Gilliland, who took the airplane to 50,000 feet and Mach 1.5. At a... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? heaudio123Me thinks Nordost marketing people come to audio forums for inspiration ;-)>>>>>>Actually, Nordost is like you. They are agnostic when it comes to directionality. They must have the same “gut feeling“ you do. 😬 |
