| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Go here;http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/debunking-the-myth-of-speaker-cable-resonanceIn reality cables DO NOT resonate at all! The model represented here is single RLC lumped circuit for simplicity and is only accurate at audio frequen... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jneutron...First however, one clarification on a comment you made earlier, that a vacuum dielectric would have no capacitance. Totally wrong. Capacitance is proportional to epsilon free space times epsilon relative. For a vacuum, epsilon relative ... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jneutron -How are you calculating impedance at audio to such low levels? The impedance rises rapidly at audio frequencies and is tremendously non linear. A cable can very easily be 600-ohms at 100 Hz, and drop to 50-ohms at 20 Khz with the open sh... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Almarg,Yes, you're input is spot-on. One is a goof, the other is more accurate to the current gradient effect based on skin depth, and the last is I can't count zeros! It would be nice to be able to EDIT as the author to improve accuracy, and make... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? ...The high end has known about wire directionality for at least 10 years; isn't it about time for everyone else to catch up? ...In my opinion, no it isn't. There isn't any proof to catch-up to. Is the "audio" community the only place where sinuso... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Is there a way when an idiot (me) double posts a thread to consolidate it, or kill the weaker (this) thread? | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? These are my general observations from the physics of how all this works. I like repeatable conclusion backed by calculation as that's what physics is, the real world reduced to numbers (with some guesswork even in those!). But, It's at least a co... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Ethernet has VASTLY improve bit error correction chips. Audio DACS benifit...a LOT from this. A one or a zero has no sound, it is just a toggle of logic a DA converter uses to construct the analog waveform.Missing bits are "filled-in" and interpol... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? No, didn't forget directionality it at all, it doesn't matter. Audio signals are not truly symmetrical or balanced (plus to minus signal don't subtract to zero) as impulse noises are more positive amplitude than the negative decay. Look at a piano... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? AudiolabyrinthCables are indeed science and DO INDEED make a cable sound in specific ways. The electromagnetic spectrum could care less about price, that's a given. Price is a human emotional endeavor based on marketing and the wants of the consum... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? I'm sorry everyone, I double posted this with my cramped index fingers that I use to type! So now I have to listen to 1970 BOSE 901's for half and hour. The music has no clue where it is, and neither did I...again, sorry. | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Cables sometime raise two kids and let the third one run wild. Low R and L, but high C as an example. To get low capacitance in a design (you have to hold the design exactly the same) inductance will go in the opposite direction. If it goes too wa... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test Wolf_garcia, if you're not on concrete an isolater my indeed be better than spikes. Why grab onto / into a surface that is vibrating worse than you? So yes, you have to use common sense, this isn't magic or expensive. My sub spikes cost $32.00 del... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? I think if Richard gets around to a CARBON Quatro, that would be a killer speaker. Where the quatro needs some extra lift in the midrange is right where the carbon drivers are so good. Those carbon driver are really sweet sounding units, and sweet... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? To my ear, the 5s's were heavier in the midrange than even say, the Quatro which I liked better in the mids. Those same 5a's were upgraded to carbons, and the midrange just took off. No changes in the room, just the speaker itself. The mids were W... |
