The Science of Cables
It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?
Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables.
I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

Let’s make it, “I wonder whether the electromagnetic waves of photons matters if one is using fluid metal conductors.” See, isn’t that better? |
Earlier in this thread, a post mentioned... This just in about the ear: The ear is capable of detecting sound where the motion of the cilia in the ear is.... I am sorry, I know it was mentioned more than two months ago but I just noticed it. Does anyone know where the original work about that "less than the width of an atom" can be found? I am really interested in learning about methods used. Any info is much appreciated. |
