pritch Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If they're all so concerned about the nasty, dirty, smelly mains electricity - why aren't they all using battery powered stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorStar Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 BTW Demagnetising copper leaves residues of demagnetised energy in the conduction band and consequently degrades the audio bandwidth. Much better to use naturally demagnetised copper (NDCu) or what is commercially known as........copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benash Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 You can throw away all your timecode gear. It turns out any audio recording comes complete with its own intrinsic time stamp... Details here, go to the summary second to last paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pritch Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm probs just being a bit slow but I Thought Copper WASN'T Magnetic ??? Hah! I guess you don't think there's any difference in the sound quality of Teflon insulated speaker cables compared to PVC ones either, do you?

Just Some Bloke Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 In all seriousness, guys, I've just plugged my DAT tape into the Bose 802s and it sounds to me like the sine wave isn't symetrical in the power cable. I really do think I need one of these. Just to be sure, can anyone tell me a test that will prove it for definite? Obviously if the waveform needs realigning then I'll just have to take out a loan and bite the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lightnix Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Personally, I think that anyone who would even consider the use of copper as a means of adequately transmitting an audio signal, should be regarded with suspicion as a cheapskate and too willing to sacrifice quality for the sake of a few measley pounds. You want proper audio cable? I'll show you proper audio cable... Click here, then click The Palladium Cables and Price List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Pratt Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm sure that you could check the symetry of your sine wave with any decent oscilloscope, the problem is that you have to make sure all of your test gear was powered via the cable mentioned above to avoid any "colouration of the results" :( PS. Please remember to allign your test signal source with the the third point of the salt pentagram, and to sacrifice the goat a midnigt using a silver knife whilst burning black candles. This will ensure that the karma of your electrons remains in the correct feng shui zone...... Have I upset enough people yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the people who designed a pen that works in space which the russians could not copy - they just used pencils.
