Maths off today? 😀 Got to play 9 holes with my physicist friend from MIT, quite a refreshing change getting to discuss the latest gravity wave results between holes. 7n7is is going to have to try harder.

Hey, what's an order of magnitude among friends??
Problem was, I ran outta fingers. I hate this metric stuff..

ps..there's gravity waves between holes?? Whoa, that would explain a lot..

All those expensive cables sound no better than lamp cord, but my vintage lamp cord with the fabric insulation sounds warmer than your new plastic lamp cord...
It's funny. You know that OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper that's marketed to audiophiles? Because of the heated mold, it's supposed to have no/fewer grain boundaries than regular ETP copper. So much better for signal transmission because the electrons aren't always banging their little heads on them.
Well, a friend of mine wanted me to wire up his headphone amp with some of it. When I received the wire, I stripped off some insulation and went to twist up the strands nice and tight before tinning it. But the strands wouldn't stay twisted for love nor money. Just kept springing back. I was scratching my head wondering if the stuff was even copper. Then it dawned on me. It hadn't been annealed.
So yeah, maybe it had fewer crystal boundaries, but it's conductivity would have to have been complete crap because the Chinese manufacturer who was making it under license hadn't annealed it.

Issues of sound aside, and I know you were only joking, but I love that old stuff. It inspired the cables I'm doing now which are made with a fine-strand (220 x 44 gauge) silk-served litz wire inside a braided silk sleeving. The cable's made of a four strand braid, a la Magnetic Shield Corp's Inter-8 Weave. It's gossamer light weight, flexible as a wet noodle (and forms exactly where you want it) and it looks and feels fantasic.
Now days they're making stuff that's so thick, heavy and stiff, you have to weigh down your components to keep the cables from making them do wheelies. 😀

John I 'm not a fool and neither are you. You no more believe in this than I do. A double blind test done by the folks here is all that is needed and that is not going to happen
I can see where this is going - a DBT will be all that's needed in the end to work out whether dark matter and dark energy are the real deal, or not ...
A client requested I use Duelund Alexanders in a passive crossover as bypasses .
I thought they clouded detail and increased insertion loss. A lot!
He seems happy knowing his speakers use Duelund, though.
I think that a double blind test would 'PROVE' that you don't need a Parasound amp to not hear any differences. Perhaps you should shop for something cheaper.
Is the safe place at the poles? Isn't the earth's centrifugal force all that keeps it's gravity from crushing us?
But with no rotation, the Van Allen belts would collapse, and we'd bake in the solar winds and cosmic rays...
Typically you mix glass beads into the epoxy when re-shafting your golf clubs in order to center the shaft (I use silicon carbide grit). Do you think using some ground up carbon nano-tubes might help me hit an occasional drive through a micro-wormhole here and there adding a few yards?
Yes, the well-known Magister Ludi modification.
Coincidentally, I'm at Titleist this week.
Even for something like a golf ball, they make decisions from data, no guesswork, mysticism, or handwaving. Just hard, replicable, data. No excuses. I expect they were that way before they were sold.
