A report on the banality of stupidity.
Some of Jack's production workers, all brotheruncles, fathernephews or motheraunts, taking a well deserved break:

Wrong answer. Jack should have said "Sorry, that one is obviously faulty. Send it back for a free replacement."john curl said:
It saddens me that JC still defends this transparent nonsense, even if it is coming from an old friend. Or is he just having a laugh, and wondering for how long we will think he is serious?
Handmade snake oil, and by those related to the inventor, is so modern and chic.
Patience Grasshopper.....I am going to try an experiment to 'screw up' the sound of one of three files in order to make the differences more clear....I will run this experiment in the next couple of days.
At the beginning I did state....I will endeavor to communicate some observations in order that we all have the same (anecdotal) data, and from this intelligently discuss and glean what forces are at play.
Yes, I get bored with the 'bovine pure' from the amateur comedians making stupid noise and merely encouraging other clueless participants.
I am calling on the good minds here to intelligently help flesh out proper reasons for what I observe and what many others observe also.
For clarity, the case talked about is two transfers to flash memory device (mobile phone) of the same original file...one transfer using standard USB cable and second transfer using custom USB cable with filter mixture incorporated into the each of the USB connectors......upon playback using the mobile phone 3.5mm analog output connected to various playback systems, the reproduced sound of each of these data files is subtly different.
Your system will be temporarily changed, any changes will mostly revert.
In a sense, yes.
All systems suffer excess noise (to varying degree), and noise embedded in the power source and noise embedded in the signal triggers avalanches of system excess noise which causes a bunch of effects....nothing new here.
Conventional RLC filtering of power supplies and analog signal reduces system excess noise production by fact of less 'out of band of interest' noise, yielding subjectively cleaner and clearer reproduction....nothing new here also.
Ferrite filters do reduce power and signal embedded out of band noise and consequently system excess noise is reduced, BUT they also inject a distinct and subjectively relatively high level new noise/signature into the system.
My filters subjectively reduce and change the system excess noise behaviour, but leave NO identifiable signature except a 'calmness and naturalness' that is absent without such filters.
This calmness and naturalness is result of change of the level, attack and decay characteristic of the excess noise, with the resultant that excess noise caused artifacts subjectively essentially disappear.
So in answer to your question, yes, most files are full of different kinds of 'badness'* and these 'badnesses' excite any 'badness' inherent in the stages of the playback system, with the result of disproportionately more 'badness' in the final acoustic resultant.
When the 'badness' of the signal and/or power source (both are energy sources) is reduced/removed, the resultant is disproportionately less 'badness' in the system produced final inroom sound.
My observations and questions are about energy transfer and energy transduction.
It seems that materials, conductors, connections and transducers produce individually characteristic excess noise, and that the nature of this noise is interactive according to the materials and the order of the materials in the energy source to energy destination pathway.
It seems also that this signature 'embeds' into stored energy and also that this signature is 'retrievable'.
If this is the case, then this could be a partial explanation for the flash memory playback differences.
I have previously given other 'rational' reasons for flash memory playback differences.
By addition of my 'filter' anywhere into the system, a 'new' (absence of signature actually) signature permeates throughout the system.
Notably, on very large systems (stadium and arena systems) the effect is not fully instantaneous and the full effect is not evident until a higher peak level transient is passed through the system.
Upon removal of the filter, the system reverts to chaos quickly but not instantaneously.
For full efficacy the filter needs to fully enclose conductors/cables, but close proximity/contact is effective.
Application of the mixture at the final transduction (speaker driver) has the greatest effect.
Application of such filters is cumulative/multiplicative ....ie application at input and output of each staging point causes downstream (and upstream) effect and consequent disproportionate change in final acoustic resultant.
There are many further observations of audio systems, and observations of other systems including electromechanical and mechanical systems that I can relate.
External power source (for the Maxwell demon) due to resonance coupling (spooky action) looks to be in the equations.
Dan.
Mr. Simon will want buckets. EM coupling is not spooky action BTW and the demon is powered by Tree Frog Beer.
Likely.
Too strong longitudinal coupling for standard EM coupling....must be the devil's brew at work.
Scott, your postings of 'industrial music' and references to fine points of obscure comics point to misspent youth, kudos on your career achievements.
Dan.
It is difficult for a physicist to put into words what he thinks when reading Max's post 12751 above, so I won't try. However, it is becoming easier to see why JC and Max are encouraging each other; they have similar views about how the universe works - views which might have been more at home in medieval days. "Put a little more toad vomit in the corner of the cabinet, and that will improve the soundstage for sopranos".
There are other fields available....Jacks battery local electric field is one solution, but alas with caveats.
Yup, that's where the rubber hits the road....it becomes seriously good fun when you can transform the sound of any system, and 'on the fly'.
Good on Jack for spreading the love and financially helping his kin....I would do exactly the same.
Dan.

Breaking from the mold at least a bit isn't necessarily a wate of time. Or how else would you justify being into the fields of research you are into?
Apart from that, where are the files?
I'm not about breaking any molds, more about finessing the existing molds.
The driver is curious observations from very long experience with all manner of audio equipment and other unrelated equipments....and other 'unrelated' fields of study.
Like I said above, in the next few days I will do a particular experiment and then post what I find.
Dan.
OK, so magic USB cable, got it.
Mostly? I don't want any of your cooties on my system, thank you very much. Luckily I don't believe your claim, so am not too worried about lasting effects.
Careful, you have provided no evidence to support any part of those statements, you haven't measured anything, and you have no factual basis for those claims, so you really ought to preface that with something like "It is my belief that...".
That's OK, let's just get a look at those files.

Max, you're too young to realize what a shock it was to those around you when in 1967 the Beatles go in the bin and Cream and Hendrix took their place. I remember an AM DJ in the late 60's putting on the first Velvet Underground LP and asking the listeners if they actually wanted to hear this ****. I might misremember but IIRC he took it off in mid-song.
Tolerance for ambiguity is key in achieving something truly new. BTW in 1969 (MIT no less) I had a humanities instructor that assigned Zap Comix as reading material.

KFC (yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken) has just released an “internet blocking faraday cage” for sale, presumably so you can eat KFC in peace.
They also claim it has not been tested to ensure signal blocking and say they need “a guy with a gizmo” to check it out first.
I applaud the honesty and absurdity in the marketing materials.
