I can understand AES having lots of audio engineers and few RF engineers so knowledge of transmissions lines could be thin on the ground there. Not so for EBU: they should have shedloads of RF engineers.scott wurcer said:
In the 1980s there was an obsession with 'multi-drop' cabling for all sorts of networking. I guess this coloured their thinking. Somewhere there would have been an engineer saying "that will never work" but his manager told him to keep quiet.1audio said:

Jocko also.....IIRC he stipulated correct matching and particular cable lengths for spdif coaxial.
Dan.
Maybe not enough experimental experience at some AES members. Theoreticians tend to underestimate possible practical issues other than those they specialize at.
I would have thought insufficient theoretical knowledge was the problem. Experimenters tend to underestimate possible practical issues in setups other than those they have already tried. "It worked here, therefore it will work elsewhere in quite different arrangements".
Until you make an experiment yourselves you are unable to evaluate and fully absorb the theory you have studied. Once you made an experiment, you will know and understand forever.
It was radio engineers who thought the 2:1 would be fine. Unfortunately the quality of audio twisted pair varied way more than normal coaxial cable.
I ought to go to another AES, I manned both booths and demo rooms upstairs at the NY Hilton for years...and have some great memories of the work...and play.
Have fun, Ed!
Howie,
Play in NYC? Dine, drink, catch a show, visit friends, oh yeah attend a technical meeting, listen to a presentation or two, visit booths and exhibit rooms, who has time to play?
I don't buy as much as I used to, but folks like me kind of hint to the manufacturers that they might want to be here.

My second last trip to NYC was to see Arcade Fire at MSG (Spoon opened). The last time I took my daughter to the Metropolitan Opera. Broadway doesn't interest me, but there is a lot of music in NY!
Particle physics has only made the progress it has by largely separating theorists from experimenters for the last 50 years. There are very few people who can do both at a competent level.PMA said:
Semiconductor physics: the opposite . By commingling experimenters and theorists we've stretched Moore's exponential progress curve farther than anybody thought possible.
Nonsense😉. It's the immersion lithography that did it for the last few years.😀 Which is optical as well as plumbing..
For high energy physics (actually, condensed matter physics as well), co-mingling between the physicists and engineers has proven quite valuable. As the interaction continues and both camps learn through cross contamination, amazing things can be built and run.
At least, that has been my experience.

Mine also. I worked with a guy who had a title of Physics Engineer (PHd).
Did not know there was such a field. He was excited one day and took me from the office over to the building where he had invented a self aligning laser system for something.
Guess he was one who bridged both engineering and physics and understood both well.

LOLOL,
That reminds me of the Quantum E-Meter I was tasked with analyzing a few years ago: Scientology Mark Super VII Quantum E-Meter | eBay
I won't comment on it here since it has connections to a "religion."
Geesh...

There are antique stores that specialize in quack medical devices some are quite amusing, a few even dangerous.
