you're on fire today !!

[Ralf11]

we should all be reluctant to use ferrite cores 

[Ralf11]

?  soundstaging -?  maybe there is a builtin RT60 Modifier Module that isn't properly deconvoluted in each item's power cable

 

but whatever it is, Frank can retune it!

There is a difference between the cables and plenty of folks on this thread have experienced them starting on page 1. That's what I like about this thread is these differences are cheep and quick to order and test!  

 

Facts are never what they seem to be

Hungarian smoked mushroom soup ??

I can hook you guys up with some Datura stramonium cables.   Go to the Madrean Regional Walmart and ask for Dan Juan.

 

They do contain active devices.

I think she's on MQA

[Ralf11]

Both Mansr and Marce have a history of ridiculing numerous unconfirmed anecdotes on this and other subjects in other areas of the forum, especially when there is no known scientific or engineering basis for the speculation.

 

Many, many other scientists and engineers do the same thing.  The HORROR !!

[Ralf11]

Frank - would you tune his ultra fast laser for him please

Jonathan (@jabbr) is definitely not a troll.  He is a talented engineer who has shared a great deal here at CA and elsewhere.  He is skeptical but never closed minded.

 

engineer??

 

He is however one of the best informed people on here and quite helpful.

... like most scientists back in the day, we had to build our own stuff, and many many scientific discoveries were brought about by the creation and use of specific techniques which include sensors, amplifiers, electronics & software. 

 

...?

 

Good Lord!  I thought only scientists in the low-funded areas (like mine) had to build their own equipment!

 

But, yes, modern science is often advanced by new techniques or new equipment, that is not commercially available.

Its getting like that on just about every thread, you have a differing view or question how something could happen and your jumped on as a troll as a recent thread has highlighted... It a sad reflection on the hobby when we can't have differing views...

Then you get comments like the one above, just makes me laugh, my experience of DC cables etc. makes me far more qualified than the poster to comment on such things, yet my views will be slagged of as a troll because they are at odds with all those that believe in magic dc cables.

someone new to this bbs would not know anything about you

 

and someone without any technical education (whether in science or its 'service discipline' engineering?) would not know what is magic and what is real - <insert Isaac Asimov quote here>

 

nonetheless, even those who were educated or inculcated in a liberal art, and shielded form all scientific knowledge in college should ask, and not be so dogmatic

[Ralf11]

apparently I had not reached a stable equilibrium point when I mis-posted a sci-fi author as the ... ah.. author

 

instead, my sci-fi response surface was in a stable limit cycle

 

I will conduct a global stability analysis before sci-fi author posting next time

 

or maybe just a sensitivity analysis simulation

reductionist physicalism 

 

Wazzat??

 

 

[Ralf11]

No, I mean who teaches it?   I can't find that course title anywhere.

I agree that DC cable inductance is measurable and that whether that is a physical correlate of soundstage is potentially testable.My problem lies with people that skip the testable part of the hypothesis, confusing premises based in physical facts with conclusions.

 

 

That has nothing to do with your claims that people are employing "reductionist physicalism"

 

I have never seen any scientist make such a claim.  What I have seen - repeatedly - in some of the better research universities as well as other places is that " our artists" or [liberal arts majors] are innumerate and devoid of an understanding of science after a 4 year investment of a good fraction of a million dollars.  An understanding of science is necessary for every citizen in an advance technologically based democracy, and we are seeing the sad results of that problem play out in the political arena.

 

 

You may be able to Gloggle up some info on "Emergent Properties" to counter your strawman.

[Ralf11]

I think CA needs a Terminology/Abbreviations thread.  I started one some time ago, but there didn't seem to be much interest...

[Ralf11]

the thermos bottle quote is a bit confused - not analogous to a Faraday cage really

 

and the silver (NASA used gold foil) is only really effective when convection has been greatly reduced (by the vacuum)

Actually, it does. It's the definition.

 

Dude!  Your bringing reality in here is harshing the mellow!

[Ralf11]

tighten them and then apply a small drop of Loctite Green to the end (it is a low strength thread locker for fasteners that are already assembled) or use their Purple (very low strength) before assembly

 

the usual online suspects have this if you want to avoid driving around to auto parts places

Any connection that relies on tightness of screws to maintain electrical integrity is a major weakness, if you're after optimum audio quality. The metal to metal contact has to be made truly gas tight, either by soldering or using silver type greases - nominal gas tightness is not good enough!

 

...

 

 

No, just use a little drop of Tweek on the conducting surfaces.  It is actually a differently named product put in small bottles - George knows that name but I've forgotten it.

 

NO NEED to solder everything in sight.

[Ralf11]

so what is bad about it???

 

and the "screws don't come loose" except he said they DID

 a LOT of vibration

 

 

CA has an entire thread on that

[Ralf11]

16 hours ago, One and a half said:

For high power applications, such as panels, switch-gear and the like, no Loctite is recommended, the connection is made by torque value only depending the size of the bolts, or Nylok nuts are used.

 

First of all the connection has to develop a certain amount of heat before the terminal expands to the sides that causes the bad joint. The tunnel terminal expands, the cable moves and the screw can be tightened. For audio applications, there's not enough heat or vibration to make this happen, maybe the speaker terminals. If a screw terminal becomes loose, it has to do with the thread material, probably as soft as sh$t, large pitch on the thread, that sort of thing. Banana terminals are very good, since the plugs can expand and contract while maintaining pressure on the joint.

 

Once again, @Ralf11 just mouthing the last thing of importance and posting.

 

 

this wasn't a high power connection - the guy has a screw terminal that comes loose

 

Loctite is quite appropriate here despite your idiotic post which is devoid of any understanding of how threaded fasteners operate

 

BTW, where is your little lap dog who usually posts after you?
