And, many thought the earth was flat. Thats why we also need a way to test the thoughts.... Without being burned at the stake for saying it isnt so. No it isnt simple but some people do agree on things with an open mind .... theories, for example.
And, there are plenty of engineering/science that went wrong also.

Problem back then was that the scientists were still fumbling about, trying to work out how to measure witchery - should send back a precise testing instrument from current times, through a time machine, that would sort everything out ... dumb idiots, dunking them into water - what were they thinking ... ?!!
Is there any reason that a CD player mechanism couldn't be used in a vertical rather than horizontal axis? Just curious if this is possible without causing new problems or excessive wear.
I don't blow any smoke up people's *****. They're beautiful and have great ergonomics, which is important with headphone cables which make up the vast majority of our sales. Their cost is a reflection of all the hand work that's required to make them. I'm not just pulling cable off a spool, soldering on connectors and selling them for thousands of dollars.
So don't talk to me about credibility, you quack.

Which is something you and many others refuse to do. All you do is sit around spinning one silly theory after another and never put any of them to the test. You're just fanciful storytellers. You are the flat earthers.

yes. In fact, you can buy them. Panasonic has them. My wife uses one in the kitchen which has vert. disk play.

I sell cables?! Since when? I never designed or had anything to do with making and selling cables. You must have me confused with someone else... maybe Noel Lee or Demian Martin or Tony DiChiro at Monster. They design and make cables. Or, Bruce Brisson at MIT cables. I never designed a cable for any one.
No cables, dude! Those other people do that cable sort of thing -- just like you do.
$250 headphone cable ergonomics! Right!
zero Cred.

SY -- is that a clue to something specific? Is someone saying I designed their cables or I do and make money selling cables? They are flat out lying.
You guys ought to ask me straight up and directly rather than this misinformed s**t. Demian Martin has done all the cables and their design/R&D for Monster.

Never said you did. Put down the bourbon.
Yes, that's right. You'd be surprised what getting rid of extruded plastics does toward ergonomics. They're gossamer light, and with the fine-stranded 44 gauge wire, are extremely flexible and have no bias so they literally stay where they're put.
The sleeving is made of silk which is a little pricey. I could use nylon but it feels rough compared to silk. And the silk can't be braided over the litz wire without mangling it so this has to be done by hand, as well as the final braiding of the cable.
This takes time and isn't being done by 50 cents an hour labor over in China. But that's what it takes to get the ergonomics of my cables which no one else has and is very much appreciated by our customers.
And unlike the snake oil hucksters, we make no unsubstantiated claims about our cables. We just say this is what they are, this is what they're made of and this is what they cost. No magic, no BS, just a well designed and well made cable.
If you think you can make an equivalent cable and sell it for a lot less and still have a viable business, you're more than welcome.

Good! Wouldnt want se comments to be assumed by anyone to be anything related to what he does for a living. Making pretty cable for audiophiles... for money... is very questionable practice IMO. Not my cup of engineering tea.
se - be specific... what am I doing exactly that you find so offensive?

Hi Marce,
I'm sorry to report, but your CD player, hard drives and everything else all comes back to an analogue waveform. Sorry.

Sure thing. There is a test point labeled "RF" in most CD players, and if there isn't, seasoned technicians go looking for this test point. This is where you would be looking at the "eye pattern", which is a qualitative indicator of how many errors you will be facing in this CD / CD player combination. It may well be upsetting to you to know that the "digital data" off the CD begins life as transitions between two levels, land and pit. The reflected laser beam is detected by diodes, four in the Philips swing arm, and six in conventional machines. The pit edge transitions are converted into an analogue signal in the RF frequency range where they are converted into an EFM signal by the RF amplifier section or RF amplifier IC (older CD Players). The EFM signal is at the same frequencies as the RF signal and create their own pattern if viewed on an oscilloscope in the same manner that the RF eye pattern is observed. This is still an analogue signal, but with sharp transitions between high and low levels.

Hi Esperado,

It is a wax or oil impregnated material. So it isn't overly sensitive until it gets old.

Beauty is questionable? Ergonomics is questionable? Tell me, how should I be making cables such that it isn't questionable? Big, fat, stiff and ugly? That's the "honorable" way to make cables? Trying to convince people that getting an audio signal from point A to point B without audible degradation wasn't a solved problem a century ago, that there are still problems and that you have the cure? That's an "honorable" way to make and sell cables?
Tell me, specifically, how should I be making cables... for money... that wouldn't be "questionable"? If you haven't an answer, then just shut the hell up about how I earn a living.
That you pass yourself off as someone who is expanding our knowledge and understanding of things audio when you're really just a charlatan.
