Cable Snake Oil Antidote
@ghosthouse - So many variables(aural acuity/sources/systems/rooms/experience/training) and so much resistance(can’t work so I won’t try/won’t spend more than 50 Cents a foot for wire). Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out, just as no one can really say, why two amps that measure exactly the same, can sound so different(to ALMOST anyone). No one has actually observed electrons, or- knows what’s happening electrically, on the quantum level, which begs the question: https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/do-you-suffer-from-the-dunning-kruger-effect--net-22227 |
Ahem...it’s not really the observation of electrons that’s the issue. It’s the observation of photons. We already know electrons are the charge carriers and are virtually at a standstill. We also know the mass of electrons. And we know the diameter. We also know the speed of photons in a conductor. So what’s not to know? Nobody has stepped up to the plate and answered the burning question, “Do photons have mass?” |
@rodman99999 measure exactly the same, can sound so different"If it measures good and sounds bad, -- it is bad. If it sounds good and measures bad, -- you've measured the wrong thing." -- Daniel R. von Recklinghausen, HHScott An awful lot of gear has appallingly bad phase response beginning with the power supplies all the way through the loudspeakers and most listeners are oblivious! Phase response is almost never measured. Component variations may affect phase response more than frequency response. The ear is very sensitive to phase, less so to frequency. |
@geoffkait - There’s a lot that is known, but- like I said, " Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out...". No one has actually observed photons, in a conductor, either. And- like you said, " Nobody has stepped up to the plate and answered the burning question, “Do photons have mass?” Electrical Theory is called such for a reason. There are a few, "Laws" regarding electricity, but- still much that is theorized. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/162993/flow-of-electrons-in-electric-current and http://www.pbs.org/transistor/science/info/quantum.html Often, the more you learn, the more you learn you were wrong: https://www.mi.mun.ca/users/cchaulk/eltk1100/ivse/ivse.htm |
