Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?

It seems that the most comprehensive audio answers come from Sean. He corrects us with non-threatening information. I believe he is really trying to help all of us become better informed budding audiophiles. I have no idea who Sean is or what his background is, but I often read his posts and say "wow, I only knew a little bit about that". I wanna be audio smarter! My wife believes this quest is hopeless. I think Sean is "The Answer". Any followers?

Thank you for the prompt assistance Sean! I will have to give that recording a careful listen at lower volumes and get back with a response on that thread. I could answer from memory, but I don't think listening thus far has been as deliberate as it could. I'm usually just enjoying the recording so much that I get lost in her voice. It's certainly much less apparent if it is there, but I'll check again.

I'm a man of clutter myself, but I usually know where everything is......well, most things anyway! Now where is that damn CD?!

Thanks again!

Sean's contribution is very significant. About time we provided something in return.

I submit that Sean, like all respectable Irishmen, needs a drink & a project. I expect that too much of the latter probably robs him of the former:) -- unfortunately...

I'm too far away to supply the drink.

HOWEVER, I can supply an extra, "A'gon", project: designing a symmetrical rca-terminated IC cable:

Being an experienced RF-er, Sean can easily do the calculations required for rca terminated cables -- to whit, rca being ASYMMETRIC, what's the wiring geometry, implementation technique, etc, to make the cable symmetric within the audio frequencies range...
I.e., diametre ratio b/ween hot & return wires, how many twists/length, shielding necessary (or can we do without, for now), etc.

Say we use enamel-coated copper to make things simple...

How about that?

I'm joking, although I've been trying to crack this nut with indifferent succes for some time now!

Good to have you around, Sean!

Hey sean!

Thanks for the kind words. Audio show eh? For some reason i think everyone would be calling it an Audio knock-off of "Love-Line" with Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla. Im sure everyone can guess who would be in what role.
Yer right though, we definatly wouldnt get anything done. (hic)
