| Directional speaker cables - switching direction People that think there is some magic in audio cables which are relatively low frequency cables and really not all that high current. There isn't. It can be measured. Unless you have an amp that is outputting a constant DC signal at above a certai... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Geoffkait,Does this satisfy your fancy better?.Quote from link below.ELECTRIC CURRENT IS A FLOW OF ENERGY? Wrong. Electric current is not a flow of energy; it's a flow of charge. Charge and energy are two very different things. To separate them in... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction I have to laugh at this thread. There is no net displacement of electrons in speaker cables, they move back and forth to reverse the polarity, it's AC current. They cetainly don't flow like water through a hose. Directionality is a marketing gimmi... | |
| No ground wire??? Back in 1961 steel boxes were used for rough-in boxes along with 2 wire Romex. In this case the metal box would not be grounded. A quick look inside would reveal a Romex clamp with a screw in the middle of the clamp holding down the Romex in place... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Different tubes, different companies, active devices, of course there is a difference. And as they break in there is a difference. Real reasons, and not all unmeasureable. 12-09-14: OmsedWell apparently I did not make myself clear, sorry about tha... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,For what it's worth had the 120V branch circuit that feeds the variac been protected by an AFCI,(Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), breaker the breaker would have tripped open when the variac started series arcing. I am just not sure if under... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,For what the Joule Electra VZN-160 amps retailed for new I would buy the variac the manufacture recommends from the manufacture. From your last post there is a lot more going on than just varying the voltage to the amps. It sounds like the... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,It's toast! It is not worth repairing in my opinion. I would just see what a new one would cost. A new one will come with a warranty. The variac is the latter; manually 'dialed up' to operating voltage of approximately 166 volts.12-09-14:... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction just make sure it should and will sound different and it will. if you do contrary, it won't.there certainly things that will sound different believe it or not as well.12-09-14: CzariveyAin't that the truth!To think of all the money I wasted about ... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,Sounds like you slowly ramp up the variac with the amps connected, powered on, and then set the desired voltage under load. This action over time will cause wear on the brush that contacts the autotransformer winding directly proportional ... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,Is your Variac one that self-adjusts to keep the voltage constant within a fairly tight tolerance? Possibly made by Monster? http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Cable-MPPROAVS2000-Channel-Conditioner/dp/B0002ZO5W2 Or is it the type where you set... | |

| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48 I have proved it as it is a true fact, this burn in thing that is. I hear the difference, but for folks like you who think we folks are hearing things we want to hear, I now have absolute proof. 12-04-14: GrannyringGrannyring,LOL, folks like... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea, it can't be proven as far as I know and I'm interested to know how you could possibly have construed anything I've said to have been in support of the directionality or cable burn-in concepts. Please go back and read the discussion; I think i... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction And then flip them back and forth at least two and preferably three or more times, not only to verify that your perceptions are consistent, but that the perceived difference (if any) is not the result of an extraneous variable (for example, change... |
