    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    You already asked that question. I answered already. My new Super Quantum CD Demag addresses both classical physics and quantum mechanics issues. “We got to stand together on common ground, or we all fall down.” - Old audiophile axiom

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    I don’t think so, the strength of magnetic fields obey inverse square law. For electric dipoles it’s the inverse cube law. There are no magnetic fields generated anywhere by the system that would extend more than a foot from their source, maybe not more than a few inches, and the strength of the...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    Not sure I go along with your detective work. Eddy currents are indeed well known physical phenomenon but they require the metallic discs to be in the presence of magnetic fields. Current in an aluminum disc without presence of magnetic field disobeys physics since that would be an example of...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    As I commented recently on the fuse and cable directionality thread, currently in hiatus, better sometimes not to attempt explanations, I was referring to the explanation found on the SR web site relating to how electricity works with regard to their fuses. What is actually needed here is for...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    You’re braver than I am, dropping Peter Belt’s name on an audio forum. CDs are not a problem in the room until you take them out. You don’t realize the harm until you remove them. The soundstage opens up like a can of sardines. By the time we wake up (like Rumplestiltskin) to these esoteric...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    I’ve been experimenting with this issue of magnetic and electric fields in the listening room and have developing a superior method. The CD is spun 3 sec per revolution in one hand while holding my passive high gauss demag over the spinning disc, both sides as well as the outer edge (better safe...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Ah, yes, the we all do it defense. I repeat my question from earlier, what is JJ’s stand on fuse and cable directionality?

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I debated a lot with JJ back in the day. Most likely residing in an archive of some audio forum somewhere frozen in time. Appeal to science is an obvious kind of appeal to/from authority. And that’s why you use the word science so much. It’s a ruse, pretending have the full force of science and...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Yes, I completely get it why you use JJ as an appeal to authority. More on topic one wonders where JJ stands on directionality.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Hey, isn’t that the guy who invented mp3? Are there two JJ Johnstons? My favorite JJ Johnston “character” on audio forums was when he assumed an online persona of a hillbilly, presumably to escape detection by inmates. This is just a simple case of Scott’s “Prover” attempting to prove his...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I’m pretty sure I did. Besides it’s up to the prosecution (you) to prove his case, not me. I did not invent reality. Don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    It’s because I enjoy pointing out when non scientists try to wrap themselves in scientists robe to convey the impression their ideas have the full force of science community, physics and the truth. It’s a form of appeal to authority, it’s just not your authority. :)

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Analog Scott wrote, “What I have done is called out his misrepresentation of the scientific evidence that relates to the subject of audibility of fuses and fuse direction and his misrepresentation of how science actually addresses claims of audibility. I have presented an accurate account of...

    Your Prover is getting tired, maybe time to switch your Thinker to Rethinker mode.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Your Prover is working very hard but your Thinker needs some more time to reassess the issue. This is starting to look a little bit=like 12 Angry Men, or 12 Angry Super Skeptics. “You can’t prove it!” I answered your first question already. Hel-loo!

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I’m pretty sure that’s the very definition of Uber Skeptic or as you say, “well placed Skepticism.” Obviously all skeptics believe their skepticism is well placed. “Informed choices” presumes all audiophiles are privy to the same information and that they would all act the same if they were...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Some folks have more than one fuse. So in that case in order to get all the fuses in the correct orientation they should reverse each fuse one at a time and listen to the difference, as you intimated arbitrary fuse orientations will have a 50% chance of being in the correct orientation. Audition...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    As I pointed out at the beginning of this thread “wire directionality” applies to fuses and cables. That’s because metal conductors in cables are directional, too. But here’s the Elephant in the room: For the sake of argument, let’s say all wire is directional. Then it follows that all wire in...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    From SR website, “How fuses alter the sound of your system. For over one hundred years people believed electrons flowed like water through a pipe and that once ‘contaminated’ by miles of wire, there was little or nothing that could be done to ‘clean’ the electricity feeding your components...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I’ve got my fingers crossed that I don’t come down with some horrible physical condition, working as much as I do with quantum mechanics. I designed the Super Intelligent Chip many years ago, a quantum mechanical device. The assembly of the chips required me to wear a lab grade chemical gas mask...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I just remembered I got a bunch of Acme silver plated wall duplex outlets when I visited Bob in Houston. Highly recommended if they still make ‘em. Don’t ask me about TG Audio, Bob Crump’s cable company name, though.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I never got on board the SR train but I did get on board the Acme train, not their fuses but the fuse fuse holders.I traded Crump my iso stand for some TG Audio cables and some Acme fuse holders. The fuse holders are Silver plated, sounded great. Acme was named after the company in Roadrunner...

    Speaking of spooky action-at-a-distance! The only high end product that doesn’t require shipping. The system doesn’t have to be on at the time The Teleportation Tweak is done. The customer doesn’t have to be at home when it’s done, either.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Analog Scott said: these things are not proven. Proofs are strictly for math. In physics we look at the existing evidence and go with what it tells us. I can just as easily challenge anyone to prove there are no pink 5 legged dwarf elephants on the moons of Jupiter. One assumes that’s the royal...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    By inspection, skin effect is a symmetrical effect/phenomenon, i.e., it’s the same in both directions, whereas wire “directionality” is a non-symmetrical effect/phenomenon. It’s the physical and electrical condition produced by non symmetrical deformation of the metal crystal lattice structure...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    You wrote, “In physics we look at the existing evidence and go with what it tells us.” Nice of you to hold physicists in such a high regard. I’m not sure the other physicists would agree with you, however. Proof in physics is often by experiment. Math usually follows later when the math dudes...

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    But we already showed that objective observations, I.e., measurements, aren’t convincing. Blame it on the bossa nova. Besides, as someone just pointed out, you can’t prove a negative. As a general comment, I’d opine that fuse skeptics are a looking very much like outliers in the overall scheme...
