You can't measure a wire sound with a device that contains wires, isn't it obvious?
I assume this is an attempt at humor? Unfortunately reading the rest of the post, I am not sure.
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
@ausaudio This is crystal-clear scientific logic. All radio-technical measuring devices are designed taking into account the fact that the conductor is a linear element. If we assume that the conductors are nonlinear, then we have to admit that absolutely everything we know about electricity is false, since all our knowledge about it is based on measurements. Therefore, there is not even a question whether it is possible to measure the non-linearity of the conductor or not. This cannot be done by definition if you want to stay within the laws of Electronic Engineering. |
Anton, You are new so let me explain. There's only a very small number of productive, thinking, sentient people here. There is a relatively larger number of these who come and read (lurkers) but seldom if ever contribute. The reason they do not contribute is they run into all these people who do nothing but mess things up. Some of them deliberately, some through no fault of their own. They just don't get it. But rather than try and understand they argue and joke and mess things up. It is just what they do. That is what is going on here. You are doing good work. Frankly you are doing some of the best work that has been posted here in a very long time. Maybe ever. Who knows? But look, your observation about "a certain direct message to the soul" is genius. So genius I quoted it at length. Only look what happened- right over their heads! Now you are applying the same logic and coming up with even better conclusions: If we assume that the conductors are nonlinear, then we have to admit that absolutely everything we know about electricity is false, since all our knowledge about it is based on measurements. More genius that not only will no one get, but to the extent they do will only argue with it. Well, I get it. There's a few lurkers I can guarantee she, er I mean they will get it too. There was a post I put up on April 1st of last year you may find interesting. Nowhere near as tightly reasoned but right down the same track. Yeah, posted April Fool's Day, knew nobody would get it anyway. Bet you do though. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/april-fool-s Really appreciate everything you're doing. Keep it up! |
This is crystal-clear scientific logic. Unfortunately someone has presented you with false knowledge. Those familiar with precision measurements and precision equipment are well aware of the impact of wires on measurement and regularly compensate for them. If they did not, no RF measurement would be accurate. There are enough references in the physical world, to act as calibration sources for something even as simple as wire. Much of our knowledge far transcends measurements, which only seek to validate physical theories, not create them on their own. There is much to learn still, at the extremes, but we are not talking about the extremes in this hobby. |
Thanks for your kind words of support, millercarbon! @millercarbon You know, I came to the same conclusion. A person feels audio anomalies with some "sixth sense", but not with hearing. Otherwise, audiophile puzzle doesn't add up. |
