The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
According to one cable seller
"The insulation (or dielectric) will absorb energy from the conductor when a current is flowing (i.e. when music is playing). This energy-absorption causes the dielectric's molecules to re-arrange themselves from a random order into a uniform order. When the molecules have been rearranged, the dielectric will absorb less energy & consequently cause less distortion."
So it’s the plastic polymer (as dielectric insulation) to undergo some sort of molecular rearrangements to minimize the distortion. Probably one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever!
“Many premium AC cords constrict or compress the audio transient as their characteristic impedance restricts the transient current.”
We all know impedance restricts current but how possibly “many” premium AC cords constrict/compress the audio transient (when not carrying audio signal)? Then again is it achieved by this molecular rearrangements of the cable insulation?
Unfortunately there are no measurement data or mathematical formulas to be found to back up this amazing scientific discovery. Simply “it happens”. So I came up with a formula for them.
∆E = P - SoT
∆E: energy absorbed by dielectric
P: energy (power) drawn from wall outlet
So : Smake Oile
T: Dielectric Transition Temperature
llg98ljk - Your comments about me are not accurate and if you read the other posts by classicrockfan you would understand where I am coming from. "the implication is that I shouldn’t be happy until I have a pair of Muons sitting in my living room." - I made no implication to you of any kind. |

Oh, mahgister, you silly. Just having a little fun with a topic that gets a lot of disagreement and rightfully so. Learn, happy to, we’re always learning. But your tone was more of an arrogant remark than anything worth noting. And yes, Dill, a member since 2007 and just posting now for the first time. (Doesn’t that tell you something?) like Facebook, this forum strikes me as an enormous waste of time. There’s a big world out there. I enjoy reading about this hobby that I inherited a love for from my father who was in it from the early days when I too was bitten by the audiophile bug. But I’m now regretting my little satirical contribution to this forum. My own fault, I kind of saw it coming. I’ll continue to read what interests me, but you’ll never hear from me again. Caio. |
moto-man MIT, I am thinking of your "poles of articulation" nonsense..... If it sounds different, shouldn’t that show up in some sort of measurement on REW, or an oscilloscope, or at least something? If not, why not? Well said moto_man thank you for the input. They got nothing. Another magic lamp named "poles of articulation" actually it’s not really appealing. Iconoclast (Galen Gareis) I looked it up their speaker cables look so much like the Kimber cables but 3x more expensive. They probably get their cables (bulk) from the same cable manufacturer in southern California. If you know him personally want to support his business or an influencer for him then so be it. If you care about your money buy the cheaper Kimber cables or even better try Amazon. if you don’t like things made in China go back to buy from Kimber. theskipperthree "this forum strikes me as an enormous waste of time.
