The Science of Cables

I applaud your willingness to try this, roberjerman! I hope that it will be a fun and eye/ear opening experience! If I had not such a long history of trying various methods and configurations I likely would not have had the courage to try it. I have had so many unexpectedly good results from alternative setups that I couldn't discount the possibility of something good coming from it. I will be curious as to your experience, which I'm sure you would be happy to share here. I have had very good results going from source to preamp. 

rocknss, at this time I know of no minimal length necessary. If I were to speculate on the outcomes with sorter ICs, imo a shorter IC is always preferred in all situations (I know there are others who disagree; I'm not interested in opening up a debate on that). My guess is that a comparable benefit of Schroeder Method would be realized by using shorter ICs as to longer ICs. If the IC is about 1 foot long, I would think that to be agreeable to the method. I will also be curious about your results. 

dave_b,

It seems that I found some other Transparent Gen 5 cables while Googling. It came out as $17 000 for 8-feet speaker cable (hopefully, a pair).

What is the full name of your cables, they seem to be way more reasonably priced?

FWIW, these cables have an interesting back story and I'm hearing a LOT of good comments from fellow audiophiles who have tried them on the 30 day free trial that is offered.

The site above has links to the designer's white papers that explain the design philosophy and rationale. 

In the reality that exists outside of the world that strictly lives by the primacy of LCR we have this very interesting development.....Kinda interesting that the term magic sneaks into the story ....so does this imply that MIT may have a Dept of Theoretical Snake Oil Physics or maybe a Department of Applied Physical Magic. Might have to press them to do some rigorous objective analysis like triple blind fold tests and other seriously rigoristical stuff, eh....you know just to keep them honest....I mean these guys are just leading edge scientists and all....and they may not yet understand that LCR explains absolutely everything about transmission of electricity thru cable thingees.

The blockbuster discovery last year of superconductivity in a material called twisted bilayer graphene caught theorists off guard. In all their published ruminations, none of them had even speculated about the phenomenon that showed up in Pablo Jarillo-Herrero’s lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: a sudden loss of electrical resistance when two sheets of graphene — honeycomb lattices of carbon atoms — were stacked and twisted at a relative angle of 1.1 degrees. But theorists are making up for that lapse now, publishing a steady stream of explanations for this “magic angle.”

It’s too soon to say which theory, if any, will do the most to elucidate twisted bilayer graphene’s behavior or enable predictions of other phenomena in twisted stacks of two-dimensional materials — an emerging subject of study known as “twistronics.” But one prominent proposal could jump to the front of the pack. In a paper published in March in Physical Review Letters, the Harvard University condensed matter theorists Grigory Tarnopolsky, Alex Kruchkov and Ashvin Vishwanath offered a detailed picture of what might be going on — as well as suggesting what other angles to probe for potentially exciting results.

Two of our skeptics stated here that they were going to try Schroeder Method of IC placement. That was more than a month ago.
