Here's a red deer dragging a cable around. This is what this entire "conversation" is like really...Oh dear.
The switch produces a step, 0 to 1V which sends DC to the other end, with the capacitance charging up and the magnetic field building up, drawing a net DC. If the wires were infinitely long, the steady DC Voltage divided by the current would be a resistance equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable. That is the start of lesson 1 in transmission line theory when I went to university. see attached[/QUOTE
It dosnt send dc, dc is constant, it sends a step, which is almost like sending a square wave. Look at the fourier of a step. the reflections only occur on the step then settle out into dc. Do you remember any signal proccesing? The signal times the transform function? The e field and b field only build during the step! Then you reach equilibrium, DC and nothing changes.
It is a voltage readout. It depends upon how many volts you put in at the amplifier end. It could be 1mV, 1V or 100V, the garphs would all be the same. These tests were done with about 1 volt. but that is irrelevant.
There is no extra R, C, or L, as it might distort the results.
The main reason for the test in the first place was to find a simple measurement that quantified the difference between different geometries. The easiest way is to see what the voltage drop was across a single conductor.
It is in the industry standard form of relative measurement, expressed in dB http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-db.htm and see table..Well it does make a difference. So your getting 1 volt across a short for zero db? I doubt it. Im confused. I tought you were measuring the voltage from speaker ground to amp ground, but now you say your measuring around a volt?
Wasn't clear to me if it was. Have you do
The real world effect of the increase in cable resistance, however, when looking at the actual signal that counts in real life (the signal across the amp and speaker) are really small. Small enough to not be audible at all.
That's what is ticking off most of the folks here and is what they find dishonest. I kind of agree.
Why pay a premium for a weird looking cable when it is not audible ?
Tee Hee.Yes, the differences are minuscule, but real. You can ignore them if you want low-fi, but not if you want hi-fi.
I don't care about flat strips. I like to have one of your cables to test. When can I have one?Yes, but we are doing a Zoom session at 6 PM GMT Dec 5, with the cables and yes, you can have the Isolda and flat strips after that to repeat the test.
I look forward to your results.
Some can hear it.Yes, the differences are minuscule, but real. You can ignore them if you want low-fi, but not if you want hi-fi.

Assume 1V amplifier output into 8ohms. The current = 0.125A. The resistance of Isolda at 20mm x 0.25mm = 5sqmm. From wire tables this equates to 0.0033 ohms per metre. 14metres gives 0.046ohms. 0.125A through 0.046ohms gives 0.006V. Therefore, 0.006/2 = 0 .003V dropped across the two black terminals, for 1volt in. Is this what you want, or more?
I thought for a minute that you were a bit open-minded, but If you don't care about flat strips, then your mind is made up and it is a waste of time.I don't care about flat strips. I like to have one of your cables to test. When can I have one?
