| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy-Payments Yeah, I skipped the "re-generator" products. I had heard that it kills dynamics and for the cost, that wasn't worth the risk. Instead, I went with a power distributor that uses heavy gauge copper and uses internal power cond... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @Three_Easy_Payments " And when I do hear differences in cables there’s a much lower impact to overall sound than amp/speaker pairing. "But that’s your system, yes? Those are your speakers, and your amp(s). It’s your experience. I don’t have your ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @dayglow What intrigues me is that a person can claim to hear the difference between speakers and amps, but magically can't hear the difference between cables? It's just tribal nonsense. | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers ANOTHER UPDATE:Well, I may have solved the cable vibration, but in doing so, I smeared the holographic dynamics of the sound. So either the Neoprene Rubber was acting as a signal dampener or bundling interconnects and speaker cable so close togeth... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley It’s a class a/b push pull amp. In about two years I will upgrade to their HD6 speaker system, so for now, getting inside the plate might be a step too far for me. I have thought about cutting some strips of Neoprene and placing them alon... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? It's much easier to insult than contribute. To contribute to a discussion takes work, time, effort to type it out. Trolls only need one sentence, maybe even one word to derail the discussion. Trolls attack anything that someone cares about. That... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers FINAL UPDATE:I solved the problem. Not mitigated, solved. The EVA foam only did a minimal job. I found the solution in Neoprene rubber sheets. Just one thin sheet made a difference. Eventually, I used the entire roll and wrapped it around the ca... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley It isn't that I cannot unscrew, it's a temperature issue. The amp gets hot and the putty melts very quickly. My fear is, leaving the putty will melt and get onto the electronics and cause damage. I am researching heat resistant foam pad... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy_payments " I don't care. Doesn't bother me in the least. "So that's why you continue comment on this thread, because you don't care?" And there is no rage here. "Ok, let's not call it "rage" and call it insults and belittling sa... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy_payments " Why do you even care if some people refer to them as "snake oil"? "Why do you care to comment about someone else’s purchase that wasn’t yours as "Snake Oil" in the first place? " Isn't it simply rewarding enough that you app... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @rufusluna " So you are claiming cognitive bias exists in the people who are not fooled by BS "Since their definition of "BS" is pure opinion and not based in any form of fact that they can prove...yes." instruments calibrated to measure signals ... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley True, but it seems less risky to offload the vibrations from the cables than it is to dismantle a powered speaker. The vibrations begin with the speaker drivers and how they interact with the cabinet and sockets. I suppose that is the tr... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @millercarbon Don't you mean, "I'll know it when I hear it." ;) | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley I would say mitigated. The vibrations are not 100% gone. The deep bass vibrations are still felt all the way down the line, but the higher frequency vibrations are gone. Right now the technique I used is very ugly and looks down right ca... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @Millercarbon I would need to get more foam sheets. At present I have sandwiched about a foot, just before the cables go off the desk.@ghasley The sound got better. It seemed as though there was more "depth" to the sound added. Like the sound was... |
