| Directionality of wire hermanEarlier someone gave a flawed analogy about measurements. Stating that since capacitors of the same value and precision sounded different there must be more to this than just measurements. The flaw in that argument is that caps have more par... | |
| System platforms Just a brief note to point out rigidity per se is not necessarily a desirable characteristic for support structures inasmuch as structureborne vibrations can be more easily transmitted through rigid structures than if the structures were wobbly or... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Racks per se can and do exacerbate structureborne vibration thus it makes more sense to skip the rack entirely and place the component of turntable whatever direction on a competent isolation stand on the floor, of course paying attention to how t... | |
| Directionality of wire Furthermore, take the case of the humble fuse in the amp where the power cord enters the amp. The fuse wire is designed to melt at a given temperature based on excessive current. That melting is produced by thermal energy of the current, no? The c... | |
| Directionality of wire If somebody is interested in the math of electrical energy flow in cables, this is a good article in Am. J. Phys. (it’s possible to read the paper without following all the math):http://depa.fquim.unam.mx/amyd/archivero/El_flujo_de_energia_de_una_... | |
| Directionality of wire sfroyengeoffkait: There is no law saying photons can’t travel in copper. In fact it’s the physical non symmetry of the copper ITSELF that gives rise to directionality. Hel-loo!Indeed there is. The laws are called Maxwell’s equations and were publi... | |
| Directionality of wire There is some confusion as to what the difference is between current and the audio signal. The audio signal is the electromagnetic wave. The current is traveling at the speed of electron flow in the conductor, which is virtually idle, to whit,"Ele... | |
| Directionality of wire sfroyenManufacturers of "directional" cables argue that it is the direction of the energy flow that is important (from wall to power amp, from power amp to speakers etc). This way they can market their AC power cables, speaker cables etc. They con... | |
| Using Magnets stringreenI tried magnets on power cords et al.....I get no change at all....either better or worse.That's a shame. You don't mind if we throw your results out, do you? | |
| Directionality of wire georgehifiOn Monday I am going to send a letter on my letterhead to the University of Virginia to check on your Linkdn claim of an aerospace degree from that institution and I will publish the results here. Best to you sir. For now.+1 fsonicsmith ... | |
| Directionality of wire fsonicsmith OPMr. Kait, as I know you know, there are many threads on multiple boards about you and questioning all aspects of your background, educational, vocational, and otherwise. I am a lawyer. On Monday I am going to send a letter on my lett... | |
| Using Magnets toddverroneWhat color does smoking crack require? 😘I suspect you could best answer that. 😛 | |
| Directionality of wire fsonicsmith OPGeoffkait: "Now, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist which I happen to be..."In addition to being a skeptic as to wire directionality, call me a skeptic on this doozy little gem. Please, give us proof! If you prove me wrong I will hum... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m getting a bad feeling. Can it be that pro audio will never be able to reconcile with high end audio? Or is just that some folks are following the wrong sheep?🐑 🚶 | |
| Directionality of wire fsonicsmith OPGeoffkait: "The reason why AC cables AND fuses in AC circuits are directional is because we only hear the effects of the portion of the alternating current that is traveling TOWARD the component."With all due respect, repeating this ... |
