Balanced cables

Pure sound good.

As fate would have it many if not most high end cable manufacturers employ cryogenics for their cables and power cords. They wouldn’t be able to compete otherwise. The really smart ones like Audioquest control wire directionality for cables and power cords, even stranded cords. The connectors are smoother after cryo, kinda like the way the finger action of cryod trumpet keys is a lot easier and smoother.

Dean of Audio Engineering school commencement speech, excerpt.

It’s been an eventful two years and now the time has come to say goodbye. Many of you sitting here today will go on to bigger and better things. The rest of you will become recording engineers. 

🤡

Uh, oh! It’s the heat! Everybody scatter! 😬

Well, let’s be honest. Recording engineers get what, about two years of training? I wouldn’t necessarily call it an engineering education since they actually don’t take any of the real important and difficult engineering and science courses, you know, like dynamics or even statics, or thermodynamics, or nuclear engineering. Besides, isn’t it the recording engineers that have been aggressively compressing our favorite tunes for the last 20 years, with no let up in sight? Thanks a bunch, guys!

Just to clarify, even if there are some recording engineers with 4 year educations they are not equivalent to 4 year science or engineering educations, you know, like BA Physics or Aerospace Engineering or Engineering Physics or EE. That would be expecting a little too much, no? In any case, my point is that whatever education a recording engineer has doesn’t automatically bestow on him the right to win every argument even if the argument is right up his bowling alley.

How many have EEs, anyway, would you guess, 5%? 2%? 😛 They all have to do what their boss tells them, I hear. Even the EEs. 😀

Robert from Star Sound, you have either intentionally or deliberately misrepresented what I said. As usual with your choleric rants spiced up with bizarre personal vendetta inspired diatribes it’s difficult to say which.

Robert, this conversation can serve no purpose any longer.
