| Isolation platform for the power amps Butcher block is OK if done right. A big factor is how the butcher block is mounted and how the component is mounted on the butcher block. Not to mention what the butcher block is mounted on. But there really is no substitute for real (rpt real) i... | |
| Directionality of wire kosst_amojan@jea48 You’re joking, right? You really want me to post pics of me testing a piece of wire both ways with a DMM so you can see there’s no difference? >>> Speaking for myself I prefer that uber skeptics and naysayers not (rpt... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal One last thing. Over, I think it is on the Directionality of wire thread, someone posted a link to a largely mathematical article from, I believe it was the Journal of Physics, that described how energy travels down a conductor. The article was us... | |
| Damping to exitation of parasitic modes of There is something inside a Shun Mook Mpingo disc which makes it even more difficult to wrap one's mind around. There’s a small circular discoloration in the wood where someone obviously drilled out a hole on one side of the disc and inserted this... | |
| Directionality of wire All of those illustrious names are just names. You are a name dropper. Name dropping doesn’t win arguments. It’s an Appeal to Authority, a well-known logical fallacy. Especially in these audio controversies. You forgot Albert Einstein. Follow? You... | |

| Directionality of wire No one said it’s a good thing. Certainly not me. I would call it a subtle thing. Subtle but powerful. Just for the record this is about the fourth time I answered the same question. Or should I say non question. A Nothing Burger. 🍔 | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal As far as the directionality thread is concerned Al and Atmasphere have definitely not proved their points. Furthermore, it should be pointed out much of Al’s argument (as is often the case) is an Appeal to Authority, citing experts to support his... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Let’s try a different approach. Teflon is obviously a very good dielectric material, right? It has a dielectric constant of approximately 1.0 if I’m not mistaken. Which means that electomagnetic waves will not (rpt not) be slowed significantly thr... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal If the audio signal travels through the *dielectric* and not (rpt not) through the metal conductor I suppose we can throw out the whole skin effect idea, which says most audio frequencies travel *inside* the metal conductor at some depth, with onl... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Really? How so? | |
| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek Not curious at all? If you knew what was inside you could make better guesses where they should go, no? I’m not a big fan of the expression, oft used by reviewers and audiophiles alike, "I don’t care how they work but work they do!" It’s always be... | |
| Damping to exitation of parasitic modes of Speaking of vibration and damping has anyone tried damping the dust cap on the woofers of speakers. Well, first I should ask has anyone run a test tone through the speakers at around 200 Hz or so to hear just much much those bullies distort and ring? | |
| Damping to exitation of parasitic modes of If you don’t have any Shun Mook Mpingo discs in the system you’re really missing out. You have my sympathy. Even one Mpingo disc in the room, properly placed, will cause your jaw to hit the floor. Your wife will call out from the kitchen, "Honey, ... | |
