The bearings should not be to small because that will limit air space as well as limit motion. Motion is needed to dissapate resonant energy in the cable jacket or maybe in the wooden box you describe...there is such a thing as to much mass. We ne...

So you can over damp virtually anything. The bearings are available in many od's the ones I use are 7 million per pound or just slightly less than a million per pound. Application dependent. The finished product is stiff..I dont bi wire. You can u...

I forgot about those cables. Liquid of some type would absorb or limit vibration transmission but probably not limit RFI reception  like the use of micro bearings. Tom

In a speaker box all the wires +and- are separate from each other and run in tubes as are the wires that run from the amp to the speaker their paths never cross. Every polarity runs mono in a tube.Tom

The conductor and all its surrounding and wrappings are placed in a clear tube which is then filled with micro bearing steel and sealed at each end except for the required length for proper termination to a terminal lug. The size of the bearing ma...

And thinking about what Galen has designed...Maybe he could take what he has derived from his studies and apply the appropriate set of rules to the winding of audio inductors and transformers. I need some new inductors for my new speaker layout an...

Anyone who watched the cable video from Galen Garies..Does Galen ever mention what happens to the signal in wire when it’s beaten up under the constant pounding and pressure inside a speaker box? The Sonoran Plateau wire I use in my cabinets is th...

I think of the room and all its contents as passive radiators.I also consider a speaker cabinet as a passive radiator. Remember you and I talked of how to remove a source of a fuzzzz tone near the top of a speaker enclosure..I think you said you c...

That NASA software is most likely beyond my mind and computer..Will look into it especially for anything concerning boundary layers of solid surfaces and air flow. After all the listening room is a big speaker cabinet with many objects that create...

Galen is like a perpetual motion machine..there is 0 time delay between his mind and his mouth.A flow of information.The video is long but well designed and executed.Makes me rethink my Coaxial based RG6 cables each a separate single wire of a pai...

Tom,Free from NASA, fluid dynamics..See if there are any insights for me with this software. Tomhttps://software.nasa.gov/software/LAR-16882-1

Very intense and detailed video from someone who knows his design work inside and out. No pauses or hesitation like a brain on a train..with no stops in between. Tom

If you thought you know much about wire design and magnetic wave propagation well maybe you don't.  Check this out..TomWatch "Galen Gareis, Engineer and Designer of Iconoclast Audios" on YouTube https://youtu.be/v3nZM2BP9Ew

Tom Thiel,Glad to hear that your moving along with speaker model updates.I have seen written the word thermal many time on these pages.In forty plus years in audio of all types I may have seen 1 distraught resistor..What is your experience with an...

I use a specific paint I mix with added minerals to control resonance rather than damping sheets or the like which reduce soundstage air and size. Tom
