| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sean - If I were a designer with a design that was as technically perfect as the state of the art would allow and yet some audiophiles complained that it "wasn't right" or wasn't musical or wasn't lifelike here's what I would think about trying. F... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? I have a question for the type of engineer to whom Sean is giving Kudos.... When you have designed an amplifier that has very low harmonic and intermodulation distortion, no transient imtermodulation distortion, low noise, stable under all loads, ... | |
| Powersnakes power cords Sherri - A word about radio frequency signals. We are awash in RF. Every cubic inch of our houses is filled with RF. The TV and radio stations fill the air with RF. It radiates into everything that is not shielded. Its in the speaker boxes. Its in... | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 Graniteaudio - As you are professional line cord designers, I would appreciate any information you could provide regarding the testing proceedures you use to determine if one cord or design change is better than another. | |
| Power cords - a BASIC question In order for a line cord to alter the signal that passes thru it, it would need to have in it the things that are used to alter signals. That is, it would need a filter network of some kind. Filter networds generally consist of capacitors, resisto... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? I agree with you 110% Albert. I am trying my best to fit in. I have expressed none of my opinions about HIFI stuff for days. Perhaps you could provide me with a list of things that are appropriate for me to say. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Shame on you 702! There you go getting scientific again. You just won't behave yourself. Just because you are an electrical engineer who works in audio and nearly everyone else who posts here doesn't even understand electricity, doesn't give you t... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? KD - Let say that we run a 10 volt square wave, that's 10 volts RMS. Say cables have .2 ohms resistance and the load is 10K. Current is E/R or 10/10000 = 1/1000 amp. Power (watts) is current squared times resistance so Watts = 1/1000 X 1/1000 *.2 ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sean - My opinion, for what it is worth, is that most people here are probably better listeners than I am. I would not want to be in a listening contest with anyone here where we were trying to distinquish between signals with measureable differen... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Ontario - There is more to my post than sarcasm. Stirring water in a swimming pool and expecting that to change the water's characteristics is a fair analogy to sloshing electrons back and forth in a wire and expecting that to change the electron'... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Miracle Products:For swimming pool owners, we have a "water condition". After filling your pool, it stirs up the water for several hours. You would be amazed at how the much smoother it is after being broken in. It relaxes the water molecules.For ... | |
| Who R U? OK, I'm gonna jump in. I'm 57. At 26 after successfully dogging the draft, I was laid off at Boeing. Then my girl friend dumped me so I moved in with a odd but interesting new friend of mine. I cleaned his house and he got the big tube amp I had b... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $5200 retail, paid about $3000 used. 73% speakers, about 1/2 of 1% for cabling. Have had thousand of dollars worth of gear stolen. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Josler - Leather cables are good for country western music. | |
| TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE Liguy - You realize that when bi-wiring both the high and low side of the crossovers are still hooked together. It's just at the amp instead of the speaker. You can accomplish the same thing with larger speaker wire.Damping factor is the ability o... |
