| directional cables? Oh, Oh, OH.........Mr simply Q,,,, a thousand apologies. A light bulb just went off in my head. I sincerely and completely apologize for lumping you in with others who clearly are defending their position just to be contrary. I see now that you tr... | |
| directional cables? Mr. Blues, you lost me on that one.Mr rog, I believe we have come to an agreement. I agree that " it would pretty much be considered an industry standard that the arrow markings on cables point in the direction of the signal flow." However, that d... | |
| directional cables? I get it now, you have redefined the word flow to suit your purpose. Everybody else in the world defines it as something that is moving forward, progressing. I would say that energy flowed in an AC circuit but the electrons vibrate about a fixed p... | |
| directional cables? UH, yes you did. That has been the crux of the disagreement. Please go back and read through the thread and you will find this exchange.Me.......Because the electrons do not flow in a power distribution system.You.......Yes, they do. There would b... | |
| Why not horns? I am amused. Those that think every sound coming from horns sounds like air blowing through a horn have evidently never heard good ones. If you want violins to sound like trumpets, get horns"That statement shows a complete ignorance of what a good... | |
| directional cables? Almarg, give up, you are debating an immovable object that refuses to listen to logic.He is convinced in AC that there is a net flow of electrons from source to load. You know there is not, I know there is not, every reference you can find says th... | |
| who wants tone controls on your next preamp? No problem. I'm on the same page with the uncertainty. I work on medical electronics for a living and taught it before that. One of the first things we would discuss when talking about measurements was that in order to measure anything you must di... | |
| directional cables? Hey Al, here is the problem. As you realize, In a DC circuit the energy flows very fast from source to load and the electrons drift very slowly around the circuit. In an AC circuit the energy also travels very fast from source to load while the el... | |
| who wants tone controls on your next preamp? Carlos, I have been very civil. No need to be condescending. The pursuit of the absolute sound is trying to recreate perfectly what was being played elsewhere. Nobody has said or even hinted that it has been done. You have listed a lot of reasons ... | |
| Why not horns? Good question, but you could extend that to just about anything else in this hobby. I went through probably 10 pair of some pretty high end speakers before I settled on what I have. Other than changing to bass horns and going from standard to Duo ... | |
| Why not horns? I'm sure there are a number of people who have done extensive listening on very good horn systems who prefer something else, but my guess is that most people who "loathe" horns have never heard them properly implemented. Kind of like saying hambur... | |
| directional cables? We've been over that. Most with any experience in the matter agree that it depends on the design of the cable and how the manufacturer decide to label his cables. You insist it is signal flow dependent just like others insist electrons are flowing... | |
| who wants tone controls on your next preamp? Carlos, you are absolutely correct. The recording IS part of the ideal. How could it be any other way? Just because it is out my control does not mean it isn't part of the equation. Given a perfect signal which perfectly encodes the sound of a tru... | |
| directional cables? The moniker contains the word simply, it was not an insult any more than referring to Mr. Romgard is.But it was all possible due to flowing electrons. How are the electrons flowing through the conductors of an AC power distribution system fundamen... | |
| who wants tone controls on your next preamp? Naive? please. You completely missed the point of my post. The poster stated that since you and I hear differently then there is no absolute. I was refuting that idea, not that we would know what all original performances sound like. I stated that... |
