Here are a few technical references to cable materials and constructions. I haven’t read them in a while. I’m just pulling them from my list of references that I put together a few years ago. I am looking for one that details the microcapacitor nature of copper and silver and how it differentially retards different frequencies. No luck so far.

@zlone This sounds like a physical modification that I will certainly look into, because I am always interested whenever I see or hear of something that's objectively different and makes sense. Thank you. |
@cleeds & @ghdprentice Okay, I certainly stand corrected on the silver. I don't know what I had researched before that put that into my head. I have also read the articles posted by ghdprentice, and found the second article posted particularly interesting/informative. I wish they'd had a larger sample size than 18 persons, but it seemed to be controlled pretty well. I'll look into this some more. Thank you. I am always leery of the predispositions and self-fulfilling results, especially when someone is charging/making hundreds and thousands for an inaudible difference. I will have to do more testing to see what I can hear. I confess, that's the final component in the system that needs to be adjusted for individually: the ears. |
