| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @samureyex Silver is 6% faster than copper, you think that doesn’t change the sound? Really? Silver may have 6% lower resistance than copper, when compared by volume, but do you really think that makes the signals it conducts travel 6% faster?... | |
| Pure Silver Wire @jmkrajnik Do you have experience in designing sound equipment? Your comments are unusually insightful. Unfortunately, no! My dad did not own an engineering shop, so making tonearms and turntables were out of the question. A dozen research... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier that's a cute story. Are you making that up? No, not entirely! I am not smart enough to make stories up ... There was a brilliant DVD documentary about how the Australian wine industry got its foot into the European market. ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Love the wine analogy! I have often said that good HiFi is like good wine – you pay more for what you don’t get. Nasty sounding distortions and nasty tastes. The biggest differences are that wine comparison thrives on blind tasting, there is a ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @mylogic My early series 401 (with the flush mount strobe light) was mounted in the huge ‘SME Plinth System’. The plinth base and depth was so big to accomodate the widest and deepest decks. The cover was of similar height to the plinth and desi... | |
| Cartridge - sweet spot on the cost/sound curve? @elliottbnewcombjr Just a word of caution - there were several series of Shure V15 made, and they do not necessarily share compatible stylii. The V15 Type IV was the first with the built-in brush. I inherited a V15 Type III and was looking for ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 Thank you for your honesty, You do your wiring the same before and after you ’learnt’ how electricity really works on this forum. I really don’t think the author needed to say, in a vacuum... No, but as a physicist I just had to add th... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 You seem to accept that Light is the fastest-moving stuff in our universe. It travels at 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/sec) I'd add "in a vacuum" just for completeness. You would, I hope, agree that low frequency electromagnet... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 Did you do your practical hospital wiring based on the "false" teachings from your apprenticeship, or based on what you learned here? Be honest. Maybe you were the sparkie that "forgot" to connect The Canberra Hospital's UPS to the main... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 I see you didn't bad mouth Ralph Morrison. Ralph Morrison What is Electronics "If we accept the idea that fields carry energy in space, it must be true at all frequencies. That is the law. If it is true for light, it must also be true... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 I learned in 2010 what I was taught in K thru12 was wrong how electricity works.... Four years of electrical apprenticeship training I was taught the same wrong crap Nevertheless, it would be helpful if you could remember how to apply ... | |
| Directional wires/cables For those who find it hard or impossible to visualise how a signal can travel faster than the stuff it travels through, consider how sound reaches your ears from a loud speaker. Air comprises molecules randomly whizzing about in all directions, a... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 I seem to recall that in another post you said you learnt your electricity from this forum? Could I suggest reading a couple of recognised textbooks? Also, science advances when researchers publish peer-reviewed papers in scientific period... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 That particular phenomenon (second paragraph in above article) has been accepted by Physicists, for decades Almost a century, in fact! But quantum entanglement has no practical applicability to music reproduction today. It may i... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 Were ... the DC voltage/current ... modulated ... into an amplified musical signal; it would appear much more complex, but: still a sinusoidal wave Your article about sinusoidals did not actually define what they are! They are p... |
