moving cables

Andy, what you are describing is work hardening of metals. Brings back memories for me when I was a teenager learning about Mechanical Engineering. Anyway, rather than explain this phenomenon here's the first link I came across after Googling.

There's also age hardening but that's for another Google.

 

No. I meant me.

 

Thanks Dev,

I 'think' from reading between your link and what i found, there is a change of some kind in the structure when metal is work hardened.
Of course, this does not support the claims of sonic changes tho.

 

I can't hear them.

Sorry.

I unplug my cables every few weeks to update my mp3 player with new LPs for work. Can't say it ever sounds any different.

 

Obviously, that's because you MP3 player is not on phase 13 Mana

Think most of the horses got trapped now, but I might have found you another chance for improvement:



Specs at: cable tower.

I'm afraid that given location and pedigree, I can't comment on that.

 

Yo' git dat girlie pig outta here!

 

WOW! Three gross, please!

 

Squeal like a pig boy.

 

How about a tune instead?

(I actually have this - it's very good)

 

This would suit you both

 

Naaaah, none of this small bore stuff, a big bore like myself needs a Big Bore:


(This is the original Dicke Bertha)

 

I remember reading somewhere (never a good way to start a sentence) that OFC cable was first developed to reduce bending fatigue in copper cables. It was following this the hi-fi fraternity seized upon the marginally higher purity of OFC and imbued it with all sorts of sonic advantages.

Much the same as with PTFE as a dielectric.

 

Discovered this in the Tones Hi-Fi Songbook:

What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
What shall we do with a floor-laid cable
To enhance its sounding?

Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and up she rises
Improvement resounding!

Raise 'em from the floor to counter static
Differences found will be dramatic
Really big improvement automatic
Ignore sceptics' hounding

Hoor-ray and up she rises
Hoor-ray and such surprises
Hoor-ray we know who's wisest
Sceptics sure confounding!

 

And the matchin' 2000 lbs bullet to end all tweaking concerns:

 

On behalf of Cable tower Inc.: not only are three gross on their way, you'll also got them for free.

 

It clearly pays to advertise!

 

Have you thought of starting a travelling show? Southern baptist preacher type style, Rev Tones leading everyone in a rousing hifi hymn praise the lord can I have a hallelujah and so forth. Fundamentalist hifi

 

The Rev. Tones already has his own private pulpit over on HFC, where he regularly expounds the True Faith to a lost and sinful world:

But careful! There are more than 20 other songs in the Tones Hi-Fi Song Book. One day, I'm going to inflict them all on some poor forum.

 

I've been missing out all this time, I knew there was something missing from my life
