Who needs those, when we can have unending chatter instead
In any case, unless there's been a derailment, I'm fairly certain jneutron is on the LCR train for "sound" factors.
I know, I know, boooorrrring....
Yah, that techno-goop is soooo boring.
Having recently returned, I still see that there are quite a few people who pretend understanding but yet refuse to discuss intelligently even the simple concepts which are obvious to the most casual of observers..
When asked to participate in a technical dialogue, respond "why should I"??
I chided my children for responses such as that. They no longer do that as they have matured to the point where they now engage in discussion.
Cheers, John
Next time I see a diapered toddler with a HSBC Premier card at a stereo store, I'll advise they save and go mono. For adults, the term 'inate' is perfect English usage. Any other hairs we care to split?
For those who understand this stuff, balanced instrumentation I/O stages. Or a good transformer.
This thread is moving too fast, thanks for your earlier posts on the parallel ground paths formed by interconnects and power cords. These 'useless' discussions brought me to the same realization a long while back and resulted in a significant changes to my system, among them a pre-amp with isolated floating outputs and a single, large central power distro bar to minimize the ground return lengths. I like it.
What flows from the amp to the speaker is electrical energy, not electrons. The individual electrons move through the wires very slowly (referred to as the "drift velocity") but the signal moves very quickly.
In a DC current, the electrical energy travels at nearly the speed of light, but the electrons themselves move at a seriously slower rate -- effectively a few feet per HOUR (really).
In an AC current, like the signal going to the speakers, the polarity keeps reversing so the electrons never get very far before going back the other direction. Basically, most of the electrons in your speaker wire are the same electrons that were in there when the wire was manufactured.
Just like sound in air. Sounds can certainly get from your loudspeakers to your ears without the same air molecules travelling across the room. The signal travels -- just like waves in water -- but the air doesn't really need to.
And how does that answer the question about audibility? I've measured some amps with a lot of hum and noise, but mostly its not a problem. It just seems to me that your points, while I don't doubt their validity, seem somewhat academic.
Someone just told me yesterday that Lev Landau footnoted Maxwell's equations as "obvious".
I'm glad someone else here can see that wild claims concerning testing on humans (one billion participants?!!) are no less wrong than some cable ad claims.
John
Landau was in a league of his own. Too bad he couldn't see that politic behavior was obvious.
John
Sorry, he can't answer you without going into the details of quantum mechanics. I guess not everybody is able to express himself, even a child could understand.
Best, Markus
Is there any point to these trite sideswipes? Adults hear height in a way that in normal English usage is appropriate to describe as innate, but if your sensibilities are upset by its inapplicability to specific fields of child development will 'natural' meet your approval? Just a head's up, in the loudspeaker forums members use the term 'volume', as in H x L x D, another physical attribute toddlers learn, without noting the proper child development jargon. You might want to look into that.
