How it works! From a common man.

@oldhvymec,

admirable in every way!

Hands in my pockets, kicking a rock, my cheeks are all red!! Shoot!

Merci beaucoup.. :-)

The question of WHY something works is mixed up all the time with DOES it in fact work. Which makes no sense they are two completely different questions yet people all the time act as if something cannot work until and unless it can be explained how- and also that something does in fact work just because its been explained - even though it sure doesn’t sound like it!

So the dabs can’t work, although they certainly do. The whole thing is nuts. Like take cable elevators. They were supposed to work because carpet is a lousy insulator, get the cables away from it. Sure enough it does sound better. Ceramic insulators work even better than other stuff, sure enough they’re insulators.

But Total Contact is highly conductive, and coating the cable elevators with it made them even better. Coating a conductor over the insulator. So the insulation story is bunk. New story: Vibration control. The floor vibrates. They are up off the floor. That must be it! Eureka! Rubber bands that let the cables bounce are even better! It must be vibration!

Or at least that will have to do until the next story comes along. Meantime: I listen, it sounds better, I do it. I listen, it doesn’t sound better, I don’t.

End of story.

If only that WAS the end of the story.
