| Simple question, or is it... When you use just plain lamp cord, energy flows between wires. It is strictly not between wires since electric fields bends, but also outside of the cable in-between planes like picture below shows:https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2... | |
| Simple question, or is it... Electric current in the cable is a flow of electric charge. Exactly the same amount of electric charge that leaves the source comes back to it. Energy is delivered from source to load by electromagnetic field in between wires. It is called Poyn... | |
| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? I agree, you can get very close since sound at the concerts is often pretty bad (nose bleed seats or poor acoustics). On the other hand some systems cost so much that it might be better to invite symphony orchestra into living room (multiple time... | |
| Ferrofluid questions. @cbrents73 Thank you. | |
| Ferrofluid questions. One day I'll have to replace ferrofluid as well. Not only in tweeters but also in 6" midrange that uses it for suspension (no spiderweb suspension). I know it can be obtained from Parts Express or Madison Speaker Store, but wonder if there is o... | |
| Reliable Digital Music Storage I also found interesting chart at the bottom of this article:https://www.premiumusb.com/blog/how-long-can-usb-drives-lastIt shows 51 years average data retention for SSD. | |
| Reliable Digital Music Storage Mirroring does not give you full protection. Controller fault, virus etc. can wipe all of them. I just keep two unpowered copies of my mechanical drive - one at home and on in the bank vault (in case of theft, fire, flood etc.) Unpowered mechanica... | |
| Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for? I made some searching on oscilloscopes and concluded that non-toy scope starts at about $200. There are three companies wort consideration: Siglent, Rigol (about the same) and Owon or Uni-T at the lower end. Cheapest you can get is Hanmatek exac... | |
| CD Treatment AFAIK Reed Solomon corrects errors caused by circular scratches up to about 4mm long. For scratches 4-8mm it interpolates data. For >8mm it misses the data with possible pop/click. Computer (and some CDPs) can read the same sector multiple t... | |

| Is there a difference in sound between a coax cable and an optical one? shtinkydog, nobody can answer that, since it is system dependent. Optical should be better, because it does nor create ground loops and is not sensitive to any electrical ambient noise, but on it is very susceptible to a system noise. System nois... | |
| Give Satanic Majesties A Chance AFAIK Stones started as Rhythm & Blues band, while Brian Jones started to steer toward psychodelic, very popular at the time as well. Mick and Keith were interested only in R&B (sole reason of forming the band). There were many bands play... | |
| J River Music Software for Mac I also have Mac+Itunes+WiFi+AE, but sound quality after update to Music is exactly the same. Perhaps something else changed? | |
| Speaker cable geometry question Cables don't directly change midrange only, but moving speakers to change wires often does.Speakers are in the exactly same marked location, angle etc. Nothing changed in the room. | |
| Speaker cable geometry question Long time ago I read FAQ by Audioquest on the subject of speaker cable geometry. They claim that skin effect, that starts (copper at 20kHz) at gauge 18, affects the sound. Using multiple insulated strands helps a little, but strands are still i... |
