| The Science of Cables @cleeds Confirmation bias? Not bleeding likely. Please don’t read into what I didn’t write. I did not say I compared them.I hadn’t been into a Hi Fi store in about 15 years. Treated room. Magico S7s, McIntosh monoblocks, McIntosh pre, interconnect... | |
| The Science of Cables @prof I would personally differentiate those cable companies from "High End" cable companies"High End" means engineered for a purpose, not some charlatan's pipe concoction for visual/cosmic appeal. Nordost speaker cables are in the YFJ [You're Fre... | |
| The Science of Cables So we all (kinda) agree that cables have an impact on sound quality...we all want to hear the ‘pure, unaltered sound’ coming out of our speakers... how about the cables that were used during the recording session? I doubt all those record studios ... | |
| The Science of Cables I cannot see the tweeks of AC, and cables as being band-aids.That's all they are. ALL interact with source and destination. NONE are 100% neutral.chaos theoryDon't make me laugh. The initial condition is OFF. The next condition is IDLE. IDLE chang... | |
| The Science of Cables It's bingo day at the seniors center.Sadly, there's more intelligence there than here or the freshman class at almost any college in America.The 'spiritualists' here remind of the BBE Sonic Maximizer from the early 80's. On poorly engineered progr... | |
| The Science of Cables @taras22 selling zen as engineering offends, as do split infinitives."to boldly" boldly what? | |
| The Science of Cables @taras22 "The only natural metal liquid at room temperature is mercury"EGaInSn - Thank-you for confirming.Other than being liquid, there are few properties that one would consider ideal for audio electronic connection. The material's primary benef... | |
| The Science of Cables @taras22 I'm sure you and Ken are justifiably proud of your cables.The problem I have is the hyperbole.Most metals' conductivity decreases when liquid. If there are any voids in the 'fill', conductivity drops like a stone.The only natural metal li... | |
| The Science of Cables @boxer12 Some of us have been hearing cable differences for more than half a century. We then used science and numbers to determine how that could be, given the prevailing wisdom that everything sounds the same. cf Stereo Review@chrissain Beaut... | |
| The Science of Cables @taras22 IF it’s not simple, just exactly what wire properties other than LCR affect response?@teo_audio the tests were done on excised tissue and "it remains to be seen whether these findings are relevant in the normal inner ear of living animals... | |
| The Science of Cables It's very simple. Sources have LCR properties. Destinations have LCR properties. Cables interpose an LCR filter between them. Add in recording, source, speaker and room colorations and all bets are off on how a particular cable 'sounds'.Cable soni... | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? @millercarbon:Since no one mentioned the science, the LED light is focused and polarized. By design, it takes care of all this "green sharpie" style nonsense on its own. | |

| Speaker hum +8 db is slightly less than 'double' from a hearing perspective. Likely cause is difference in speaker and room response if that is the sole change.Why are the grounds commoned in the wall box for two circuits? If there are two circuits, the groun... | |
| Trouble with 20-bit HDCD Some HDCD sound fine on regular players, some don't. Like anything, the devil is in the details.@erik_squires - Did you actually DECODE the HDCD or just take the 16 bits to 24?Interesting article on HDCD and Pacific Microsonicshttps://www.stereoph... |
