It's simpler and cheaper to choose to believe you, I'll go with that if it's ok?You should try it before condemning it, Hans. I have his latest stuff in my audio system, and they work!
It says "General Snake Oil". It has to be audio specific to be used for hi-end audio. Remember, it's only the best for that demography.![]()
General Wire Spring is the "manufacturer." I did a paging system for them decades ago!
If EE101 were enough, then all would have been said and done in audio, and we'd be slaughtering each other over fishing or knitting, or whatever.
Not one of these pictures comes with a credible hypothesis for any audible effect. Do you buy into the Bybee prose, I would think you are smarter than that?
Copy past of what on the page. Did not even read-it.Interesting diode volts per volts.

Glad you get sound ;-)

Dear John,
I fully admit my prejudice,
But when a company cannot even promote their own products in decent English and talks about electrons and protons that should become more aligned, I get goosebumps.
Sorry for that reaction.

No, copying a fake.Faking a fake?

Since this is still part of audio forum, the question ultimately becomes, are those measurable differences audible?OTOH, EE101 can sure get one started: attached are some cables I measured 40+ years ago using the method John Curl advocated at that time, and the differences are obvious.
I spoke to Jack Bybee this morning. He is still working on new discoveries. One is going into a power cord that his (and my) associate Mike, (who holds more degrees in both physics and engineering than most of you here) is producing.

The original snake oil was oil extracted from sea snakes as a chinese medecine for people, usually rich in mono-unsaturates. Later in the USA and in the 1800's it was taken to mean oil from snake river, which was a crude oil leakage, all the lighter fractions boil off, so it was natural gasoline/tar blend oozing into the river that was scooped up by travelling medecine men to be sold at fairs, but the original would have been of some help for mild arthritis etc.
RLC components of cable is simple. But microphonic (capacitance change because of vibration) and triboelectric (because of vibration) is difficult. Because vibration is not always happen. So, it was called dynamic distortion.
Like temperature change, temperature modulation because of signal, temperature feedback are also difficult to see the effect. It is dynamic distortion.
Static distortion measurement using sine wave is sooooooo.... easy.
Is the distortion audible? No. It is below your hearing threshold. You need low-fi equipment. 😛 😀

Just wondering, the LM1875 and LM3886 chip amps listed in your sig lines are hi-fi high end audio? But the birds, are you using them as sound enhancers?
Just get to the bottom of this. Are you saying that skin effect is an audible factor in audio electronics? If so, where are the demonstrated cases?
Any links?
No I am not. Thats Waly's spin. i am talking about copper oxide forming a diode layer... also at surface.
It was shown that it is not imagination or bezar theory. It is real and measurable of significant level.
It CAN be a source of distortion in oxidized cables/conductors/paths/contacts.

It was from an episode of either _Elementary_ or _Person of Interest_ on American television. Gotta give credit for taste.

... The QSE affects the polarity of all electrons and protons within it’s magnetic field, affecting their oscillation by making them more aligned with each other...
It seems JC has confirmed that positrons and anti protons are produced by the QSE. Truly astonishing.You should try it before condemning it, Hans. I have his latest stuff in my audio system, and they work!

No. It is easily exceeded by discrete design.

In my opinion, an amplifier should be reproduce consistent timbre and frequency response at any SPL (Sound Pressure Level).
What do you think?
Do you have experience if you listen in different SPL, the timbre and frequency response changed?
