| California electrical shortage audio Djjd - Bravo, well said. It's also worth noting that over population is the underlying cause. As the population steadily rises so will the shortages. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? If you shorted one end of the cable and made an adapter that put a 10K resistor in series with the other end you could just plug the cable into an AC outlet. But, keep in mind, guys, that all electrons in the universe are EXACTLY alike. And, elect... | |
| Vandenhul powercord Power cords are not in the signal path and cannot effect the sound. If you change cords and hear a difference then you can use that as proof that one's ears cannot always be trusted. | |
| Some cable advice for this system Radio Shack....THe IC's won't have any arrows on them so you can try them both ways to see which sounds best. | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Detlof - I think I remember you posting something about copper wire that can have asymetrical conduction properties. Something about crystals in the wire. It was related to why cables have arrows on them.Hook your cables up backwards and see how t... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Garfish - If you trust only your ears and not your brain, you wind up with many hundreds of dollars wasted on exotic line cords, speaker wire, IC's with arrows on them, distribution boxes that the manufacturers brag about not having anything in th... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology 70242 - It's a pleasure to have you here. When I started posting comments about some of the absurd claims made for different types of cable, I was contacted by a cable manufacturer. I will send you their E-mail. It attempts to describe why wires s... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Elizabeth - I have been trying to explain AC to someone. AC for god's sake. So they can understand why the arrows on their cables are ridiculous. Does anyone jump in to help out? No. Why do you think this is? | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Paulwp - I am astounded at the level of ignorance I have found here. People pontificating on the differences between this and that who don't even know what AC is. People without the slightest idea of how their gear works confidently ridiculing the... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology 70242 - My engineering friends agree that the only possible way to detect a subtle difference is with A/B testing. Our audio memory is very short. Thanks for the post. | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear Gmorris - I was trying to explain that cables are AC and, therefore, can not have a prefered direction, regardless of any law imaginable.My qualification is that my IQ is above 80 (barely, or I wouldn't be wasting my time on this moronic topic). | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear No money - With only the tiniest bit of knowledge about electricity you could understand the impossibility of what you have claimed. This would make you a smarter listener. I think many here prefer ignorance so they can maintain the egotistical be... | |
| I have a tube amp question????? Here's a possibility. Get your hands on a scope or someone with one. Hook up any kind of amp or receiver that is greater than 12 watts. Now power is equal to Volts squared over Resistance. The amp was probably rated at 8 ohms. This computes to abo... | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear onterio - I'm not claiming to be an expert on much. I know there are many here who know much more than I about many aspects of audio. I have only commenting on simple things - line cords, arrows on IC's, outlets, cable conditioners. Items that cau... | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear No money - Audio is AC. Your interconect cables carry only AC. If there is anything but AC on your cables then something is defective. Now, in order to cary AC your cables have to do just as good a job when electrons go from the cd player to the p... |
