*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters

It’s an interesting theory of which there is little proof:

But it does illustrate how good the ear is, based on how it functions. Of course, each brain and each ear is different, so we get into these arguments about who can hear what. A situation where hearing is as varied as intelligence is. Lacking ears vs capable ears, or however one wants to put it. A sliding scale not unlike an IQ chart.

It has been shown that younger ears have better timing discrimination and it is pretty consistent. It has been shown that trained ears, and younger trained ears even better, are best at picking out anomalies.

Show me where "audiophiles" are any better than anyone else at picking out anomalies? I can show you something where they could not even pick out huge distortion, but it was readily evident to engineers with proper listening test.

Many musicians do possess better ability to identify tones accurately, but that does not give them super human hearing.

Hate to break it to you, but digital audio has timing accuracy in the 100’s of picoseconds, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but that is orders of magnitude better than any analog system.

I’m sure it does. Nothing exists in isolation.

Figure it out.

Too much linear blinkering in thoughts and their given associated subjects will kill analysis dead like a one legged proclamation trying to get up and walk.

Your math and associated recall and analysis is ok, I expect. But math is not complex logic function as tied to analysis of complex subjects. Big difference.

I’ve got my name out there on a shingle. same as the thread starter.

what’s your problem?

You want to pick on people, at this level - show your face.

In order to do such things, they should be of linear gain, not non linear gain, like all known transistors are. Other than triodes, SIT transistors and V-FET transistors, which are all linear gain. Long electronic story there, for sure... Those are the only three devices know to be even capable of getting close to this requirement.

See this just shows more fundamental lack of understanding. These devices are not "magic". The linearity of a SIT transistor is due to inherent feedback within the device structure.  15 seconds of research would reveal this:

The I-V characteristics follow an exponential behavior in the low-current region and change to approximately a linear-or square-law relation in the high-current region where the negative feedback effect of the series channel resistance becomes pronounced.

Ditto for triodes. Triodes are linear because of internal feedback.

What can we conclude from this?:  Beware people speaking with authority about things they do not full understand.

You are still getting it wrong for all the wrong reasons and attacking people who have commercial interests here, when you probably also have commercial interests.

SHOW YOUR FACE.

Anyway, in cables inductance is a big deal. as is skin effect, re the expression of transients and complex transients under complex dynamic loading.

In liquid metal, all that.... is a variable tied to the dynamic loading itself. which is totally different than that of ’wire’

Ie, you can’t accurately measure the inductance of a liquid metal cable. You can make a coil and it will fail to follow the rules you know.

This is fundamentally untrue and you have illustrated above lack of competence in so many areas, I will just say "prove it".

This paper shows that liquid metal in fact behaves exactly as one would expect:

As do these papers:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11708-019-0632-0

I am sure I could cite many more papers that show liquid metals are inductive, do follow classical properties (but are highly susceptible to oxidation and contamination), and those properties are being used/explore for real world applications.  I would point out that it appears that liquid metal properties can be influenced by external fields. Is that a good thing when you want consistency in operation??   Now of course, these were large fields, but I thought in audio everything mattered?
