Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?


Guys I have noticed that certain members start with technical back and forth in discussions which look like they are self serving, to prove how smart or knowledgable they are, rather then forwarding the OP's original question.

Shouldn’t these discussions be moved into a separate post about technical stuff ie the techical merits of bibolar vs mosfets for example, if these members want to do that?

I think most member don’t care if a Krell amp uses brand x or y for transistors vs a Pass or any other amp, I think most people are more concerned with what the sonic differences there are vs specific technical arguments that are not related to the sonic flavor or design methodologies that these product use to produce their sound, what do you guys think?

Remember what teo_audio stated earlier in this thread, "Facts are an agreed upon reality. An agreed upon projection. They posses no reality of their own - whatsoever."

Facts are not stubborn things as a noted politician once said, they are irrelevant and non-existent.  Not things at all.

Gee, and all I'm trying to do is learn about the science behind the Synergistic blue fuse which uses Quantum Inductive Coupling. Can anyone explain that to me in a non-technical manner?
Yes. Anytime you see the word 'quantum' associated with an audio product, it is an indication that you should turn around and run!

+many 1's and some.

Maybe we should let AudioTroy give an answer. He seems to have little to say since he started this thread.....

@mr_m , I don't think he has to say anything, this thread disintegrated into technical discussions just as the thread's title predicted.

Forecast fulfilled. The irony is delicious. ;^)
amg56-Absolutely!! The Egyptian's did indeed create the first sub-woofer.
In fact,the Kings' Chamber has the highest damping factor in human history, measured at 700,000. Phew! The sub-woofer inside the chamber measured 30x30 feet on all sides. The cabinet material was made from the strongest bamboo in Egypt. Fresh from the shallow waters by the shores of the Nile. Hieroglyphics on the temple walls in the Valley of the Kings reveals a great tragedy, over 11,000 child slaves were killed by Nile Crocodiles while cutting the bamboo for the sub-woofer. Wow! The sub-woofer was mounted on a massive block of compressed diamond blended with fine granule's of gold and copper, held down by large brass bolts. The large 27 foot sub-woofer cone material was made from multi-layered razor thin sheets of the finest papyrus in Egypt coated with bamboo resin for maximum strength. The surround material for the sub-woofer basket ring was a blending of rubber tree resin and cobra skin. Audio history has it all wrong. It is not true that Edgar Villchur invented the first speaker piston driver in 1952. What a load of bull. The Egyptians did! Give credit where credit is due! The sub-woofer was powered by the crystal capstone on top of the pyramid. Attached to the bottom of the capstone was a long copper rod that went into the pyramid going down at different angles until it entered the King's Chamber stopping at the rear of the sub-woofer. A very thick 4 awg single solid core copper wire extended from the end of the rod and was connected to a locking ring on the rear of the sub-woofer. The same locking ring that is on the center hub of the finest Chariot wheels. At mid-day, the power of the sun would enter and charge up the crystal capstone, acting as a large capacitor building up massive volumes of continuous current to the sub-woofer. The Great Pyramid is well known for being covered centuries ago with a beautiful layer of white limestone. King Tut destroyed it. One afternoon the King decided to throw a birthday party for one of his friends inside the King's Chamber. They got so smashed that they accidentally set the current lever to maximum for over an hour causing such massive low waves all the way down to 6 Hz, resulting in powerful destructive vibrations to the surface causing the slabs of limestone to crack and break up and slide to the bottom of the Pyramid. What a tragedy.
