| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. @rodman99999Interesting conjecture.But, first, it seems to start by assuming the *audible* phenomenon claimed about such cables is valid, when that is in dispute.Second, anyone can conjecture, even from already established science - that is after ... | |
| The Science of Cables iealesMany studios do use 'high-end' cables. I wired many with Mogami, Canare, Belden, Monster, etc. Agreed. Most of the studios whose cabling I know of, tended to use Canare or Belden or a combination for much of the equipment. (I had a bunch o... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. aniwolfe,Maybe you can tell me what is happening inside during the 300 hours? One possibility is that there are physical changes occurring within the cable over that time that alter the sound in a way you are able to hear.However, that boutique di... | |
| How I would measure cables cleeds,I have never made such a demand. And in his OP, neither did Erik, so that's a strawman.In his OP Erik simply gave the reasons for his own skepticism about some claims made for high end cables, and he encouraged THOSE WHO MAKE CABLES CLAIM... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. aniwolfe,"It took over 300 hours to really sound great."What do you think is happening within the cable over those 300 hours that would alter the sound? | |
| The Science of Cables geoff,Given your web site: yes, I see you have trouble identifying extraordinary claims ;-) | |
| The Science of Cables iasi,Many skeptics would not say that cables have an impact on sound quality...but not necessarily in the ways many audiophiles believe. That is: a basic, well designed cable, properly chosen for the job at hand (e.g. capacitance etc for a given ... | |
| How I would measure cables erik,Thank you for the rational, reasonable postAnd, yes, as you rightly identify: cleeds is as usual trying to shift the burden of proof.Of course, the skepticism many have about cables comes from actual knowledge of the theories and practical a... | |
| The Science of Cables cleeds,You keep raising that question, even though it's been answered a number of times. Here we go again....You assume people skeptical about boutique cable claims haven't 'done the work.' But note that most of the skepticism comes from the en... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. For what reason prof needed to insult the discussion? I do not know.I didn’t insult anyone...unless offering a different opinion is considered ’insulting.’shkong78 bought a digital cable on the expectation that cables burn in and change sound and ... | |
| The Science of Cables Congratulations taras22. Your post exemplified the kind of cluelessness about the nature of science that can lead one to pseudo-scientific beliefs.You’ve completely misunderstood the lessons of science in general, Newton in particular.Apparently y... | |
| The Science of Cables Only in the audio industry, is anyone gullible enough to fall for the wild claims and ridiculous prices of wires and cables selling upward and over $1000.00 per foot.It's not all audiophiles. It's mainly the category of audiophiles who fully tr... | |
| The Science of Cables mkgus,You have walked in to a church and questioned God’s existence.Good luck. | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. Threads like these are perfect examples of why falling for audiophile tropes like "everything needs burn in" doesn't have good consequences.There's enough real things for an audiophile to worry about let alone sitting around wringing hands over "b... | |
| Kickstarter for all analog "No Filter" Cool. I never saw this thread before!I bought The Turn on vinyl and really enjoyed it. I'll check out No Filter. Thanks! |
