| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? One must remember that a filter alters both the phase and magnitude of the signal. This is represented by a phasor vector. See https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/phasors.htmlAdjusting the phase control does not adjust level, only phas... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? +1 on ML 800x for configurability600x is $600, ported and might integrate better with ported mainsA sub MUST have 0 to 180 phase control, phase invert, 3 and 4th order slopes in addition to level and frequency.The ML x series do and have the advan... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm not a sceptic.I don't believe in magic.2C½(LR) - yup, that's a new filter.Add in more LCR for Y - yup another new filter.Change loop area - yup, that changes LC - yup, another new filterOnly a magician would expect no changeDO THE MATH | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds No, I'm not saying that Nordost cause clipping.Clipping has a distinct sonic signature and one does not need to compare amps to determine it is happening.Interwoven vs parallel cables also have distinct sonic signatures. I would have been ... | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds If I hear an amplifier clipping, I don't need to compare to know it. | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds Confirmation bias is 'experiencing' a change where there is none.Having messed with the math, manufacture and sonics of multi conductor cables in decades past, an interleaved/interwoven construction clearly has electrical and sonic benefit... | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds Confirmation bias? Not bleeding likely. Please don’t read into what I didn’t write. I did not say I compared them.I hadn’t been into a Hi Fi store in about 15 years. Treated room. Magico S7s, McIntosh monoblocks, McIntosh pre, interconnect... | |
| The Science of Cables @prof I would personally differentiate those cable companies from "High End" cable companies"High End" means engineered for a purpose, not some charlatan's pipe concoction for visual/cosmic appeal. Nordost speaker cables are in the YFJ [You're Fre... | |
| The Science of Cables So we all (kinda) agree that cables have an impact on sound quality...we all want to hear the ‘pure, unaltered sound’ coming out of our speakers... how about the cables that were used during the recording session? I doubt all those record studios ... | |
| The Science of Cables I cannot see the tweeks of AC, and cables as being band-aids.That's all they are. ALL interact with source and destination. NONE are 100% neutral.chaos theoryDon't make me laugh. The initial condition is OFF. The next condition is IDLE. IDLE chang... | |
| The Science of Cables It's bingo day at the seniors center.Sadly, there's more intelligence there than here or the freshman class at almost any college in America.The 'spiritualists' here remind of the BBE Sonic Maximizer from the early 80's. On poorly engineered progr... | |

| The Science of Cables @taras22 "The only natural metal liquid at room temperature is mercury"EGaInSn - Thank-you for confirming.Other than being liquid, there are few properties that one would consider ideal for audio electronic connection. The material's primary benef... | |
| The Science of Cables @taras22 I'm sure you and Ken are justifiably proud of your cables.The problem I have is the hyperbole.Most metals' conductivity decreases when liquid. If there are any voids in the 'fill', conductivity drops like a stone.The only natural metal li... | |
| The Science of Cables @boxer12 Some of us have been hearing cable differences for more than half a century. We then used science and numbers to determine how that could be, given the prevailing wisdom that everything sounds the same. cf Stereo Review@chrissain Beaut... |
