The Science of Cables
@douglas_schroeder  So, what about my question in regard to analogue?Now don't be blasphemes...LOL  Even though I do like both digital and analogue, I can kind of see your point. I am, myself, starting to question the sensibility of replacing expe...

@douglas_schroederThanks for the clarification. It now seems to make better sense....Jim

When I see all the other tech and music industries jumping on to the $1,000. per ft. cable band wagon, rather than the current trend of going wireless, maybe I'll become a believer.Only in the home audio - audiophile - crowd (@prof... thanks for t...

@celander And a pair of SM dual Canare StarQuad assemblies at ~$150 breaks so many banks for audiophiles, too! If, in Mr. Schroeder’s proclamation, he would have used SM dual Canare StarQuad cables @ $150.00, or Elizabeth’s $51.80 4 F AQs, as the ...

Nope! Plenty much happy with the cables I have and have no desire to double the capacitance on my system......JimNot picking on you in general, just stating that cable makers, who would have us believe that their incredible $k per ft cable is the ...

Interesting - for the most part, the only ones you hear blowing about the greatness of the Schroeder Method, are those making and selling high dollar cables - go figure.They boast that their particular $$$ cable is a revolution in cables and the b... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
With a 2K cartridge that has a life expectancy of about 2,000 hrs. buying a set of cables that takes 200 -  300+ hours to start sounding good seems like a bad deal to me......Jim

@taras22   Say what you want - I’ll stick with real science, engineering and craftsmanship and the next flight I take, I’ll feel secure knowing that the airliner I’m on was designed and built by real scientists, engineers and trained and skilled c...

@taras22To be sure, I have nothing against science and development - I’m all for it.The fact is - nearly every facet of the music industry, from the performance, to the studio and into home, is going wireless.Nearly all new forms of communication ... 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Ok, this may be a little off point, but you'll see - it ties in.I have a sister that is clinically OCD. She will sometimes clean and re- arrange her house until she literally drops from exhaustion. She got this thing, awhile back, about collecting...

@teo-audioActually, I am sure - It's Not!But still, enlighten me...Jim

@teo-audio Thank you for not being sure. Key point, there.Enlighten me...Jim

@taras22Not sure how gallium, indium and tin, a semi liquid goop, 1/15th the conductivity of oxygen free copper, is somehow superior to pure grade, oxygen free copper as a conductor for cables. I guess whatever makes a great sales pitch and you ca... 
The truth about why modern music is so awful.
For the most part, I agree with the overall dismal view of modern music and it’s production and recording - particularly pop.While I ocassionaly come across a new artist that lights a spark, for the most part, they seem to be stuck on the same tec...
