| Dumb Question about cables Insulation (usually plastic) is for keeping electrical shorts from happening. It does not primarily serve as a shield from EMI and RFI (both of which are just terms for the same thing because radio waves are electromagnetic waves). Insulation does... | |
| LessLoss DFPC Signature Dear Drubin,If you would delete the words "positive" and "favorable" from your post, it would be true. But as it stands, what you have written above is untrue.Louis Motek | |

| cable burn-in / system burn-in Rodman,Thanks for your thoughts about capacitance. When you say that the dielectric material "charges" (so to speak) over time, it seems to me as though the cable should sound worse over time. And the more charged, the worse it should sound.The re... | |

| cable burn-in / system burn-in Sorry for any misunderstanding. I just wanted to differentiate and arrive at some definitions. It would be nice if people could voice anything else yet unsaid about the phenomenon of cable burn-in.Louis Motek | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in Foster_9 wrote:Louis you lost me on this fade out thing. For me bottom line is that when I have a system that is taken down turned off, cables and equipment moved, then once the system is re-assembled it takes time for the system sound to come tog... | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in Yes, especially power cables! Today I tested the newest theory. Without a shadow of a doubt, a power cable played in a system for two months every day doesn't sound anywhere near as beautiful as the same cable faded out on over 7 days. So, settlin... | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in For what it's worth, I am told by my high-frequency specialist friends and colleagues that it was well known to the scientists working in high-frequency laboratories that new cables "settled in" after a while. I am unaware of any "cable cookers" u... | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in I think the only reason is that people lack knowledge as to what burn-in is. Nobody has yet been able to describe what this phenomenon is.If anyone knows, let's hear it!I believe that if this phenomenon were understood, it could be used as yet ano... | |
| LessLoss DFPC Signature Karelfd,Your thought sounds like it is bending towards a conspiracy theory to me. I don't know exactly what you are alluding to.When one posts on a world-wide forum, one is first and foremost placing content into the mind of anyone who bothers to ... | |
| LessLoss DFPC Signature I would like to delve a little bit deeper into this problem here. In fact, I believe that all forums which are created in order to hide the identity of the contributor are prone to fail. It is not good to make-believe that the world desires a masq... | |

| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? Lacee,The entire audiophile culture has to do with direct experience. If it were as easy as comparing data sheets, and if these data sheets really did give you the last word regarding sound quality, then there would really be no reason for anythin... | |
