Joe Fernand Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No longer with us the 'infamous' Peter Belt kicked off a whole industry with his foil strips back in the 80's - http://www.pwbelectronics.co.uk/a-brief-history Joe PS Active, Fibre and Hybrid Fibre HDMI cables - those definitely have to be installed the 'correct' way around, they have transmitter and receiver circuitry within the HDMI hoods.

sunray Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 When cruise ships cross the equator, do audio cables therein have to be reversed end to end to allow for the now reversed magnetic field <img src='http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />This sounds rather a tedious task, perhaps special bi-directional cables could be specified for such use.<img src='http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Don't be f*****g stupid. Just install 2 sets with automatic relay changeover controlled by geodata.Better still - 2 whole sound systems controlled the same way, then there would be a full standby system.

bigclive Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 When cruise ships cross the equator, do audio cables therein have to be reversed end to end to allow for the now reversed magnetic field This sounds rather a tedious task, perhaps special bi-directional cables could be specified for such use. Ships tend to be fitted with bipolar uni-phase cables to compensate for the varying geolocation.You can often tell when the ship is at the mid position between the earth's poles as the non specific polarity at that point can cause slight loss of sibilance on the upper notes and a slight mudding of the bass sound stage. Luxury cruise ships often have high power cable magnets fitted which ensure a tight audio response at all times with no equatorial undulation.

paulears Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yesterday I walked in on a bunch of Portuguese fellas in a tea room - all watching a laptop, speaking rapidly in their language, but I picked up one word that sounded like "big-cliva" - and they were watching the flambeaux video! The man is a leg end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Dont forget ,if your using these exotic cables remember to use oxygen free solder And do the soldering in an oxygen-free environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I do wish the shysters who market this stuff did it in an oxygen free environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
