Hi Cindyment,
You would be happy to know that skin effect is rolled into addressing the other parameters, too. I explained all that to you. But, you insist that the list of what can be “improved” must pass your “ethics” (your new vison of all this, not mine).
Nothing here is done improperly. The insistence that “one” of MANY variables is somehow heard in relief over all the others is misleading. We both know that’s not the case in standard use of reactive products. Analog is addative.
To improve in key areas also allows tertiatry elements to be improved. I explained that, too, and this seem to infuriate you. We design to the data, and the “sound” has to be accpted in use as it will vary based on the reactance and amplifier’s properties.
Even with our “standard” products, users have a preference between part numbers for how they sound. The R, L and C are low enough to be immaterial…but they aren’t.
The cables address proper engineering, and making a cable better is not a violation of your weird concept of
a professional engineer’s ethics…who CAN NOT improve ANYTHING as they are held in strict guidance of the status quo. They don’t develop, a damn thing. And that is how it should be for a PE trying not to be sued. PE’s have ZERO ethical requirements as they are BOUND by the guidlines!! This is ALSO done on purpose as one man’s ethics is another’s nightmare. The BOOK is the “ethics”. It is the same for everyone.
Curiously, the NEC has MINIMUM guidelines and you can EXCEED those if you wish. The bar for safety has to be passed. After that you’re good to go.
Using ICONOCLAST that improves across many areas also maintains the “standard” fundamentals of analog designs, certainly. The tertiary properties are all tied to the choice of the fundamentals. They have to be. We have the market that allows pushing the related specs as far as we can…and there is a market for best of the best on EACH variable and this allows users to try the improvements. Making cable better is hardly unethical. Pointing out how other variables are impacted by R, L and C choices and HOW they are arrived at is hardly unethical. You seem cluless to that fact that L and C are complex reactances. Step dielectric (air tubes) act differently than homogeneous (foam) dielectrics. They have to, each is a different EM field material. HOW matters.
Get over it, boundary enhanced products aren’t important to you. You have YOUR market, others have theirs. We provide a unique product that IS transparent to how it works and why.
I’ve used 1313A and 1800F and ICONOCLAST RCA, XLR and speaker cables. Have you?
My T+A M40HV mono amps are Class A and AB at the flip of two switches with distortion, slew rate etc are all so low on paper it is immaterial which you use. Nothing can be “heard” other than if you clip the amps. Nope, A and AB are indeed different. They sell the specs but the SOUND has it’s own agenda and basic specs don’t capture that.
Best,
Galen
