Jit, Jit, Jitterbug!

Hey I resemble that dance.

 

[xray]

Now I can't get David Bowie out of my head singing "ji-ji-ji-jitter"

 

[Mnyb]

ahem.

Wake me up before you go go , would be perfect on my funeral

This can be shown to be correct because AI says, when asked what "He looks a bit jittery" means.

I would leave AI out of the music environment, as long as I can. We have already too many audiophools around, that we do not need one - even worst - more.
This I say.

Just to go back to the siltech cables video, he talks of 8n and 9n purity wire. You can't buy refined metal in bulk at 6n, any metal.

You can't even buy laboratory grade gold at 8n purity, it doesn't exist. The purist gold ever refined commercially was 6n in 1957 by the Perth Mint.

Hes just totally full of shit.

What? I can’t believe it.

@sq225917
I'm sorry, not being into metal purity... what is 6n, 8n, 9n...? Or, where can I find some info to better understand it...
Not that I am discussing your statements; it's just I wanna know more.
Thanks in advance.

P.S.n
About all the BS, of course, I totally agree with you, despite, as mentioned above, me having no clue about the "X"n's.

Why not search the Internet?

You are right, and TBH, now that I read it, I could have figured it out myself. But I am just too lazy (and it's too late to change that... )
Thank you very much indeed, anyway.
Now I see how silly 8N or 9N sound like to a technically educated mind.

Jitter; some Valium could help that word.

Has the subject of the video already been ridiculed? Or does it deserve to be evaluated?

Hahaaabsurd.

 

[Multicore]

Has the subject of the video already been ridiculed? Or does it deserve to be evaluated?

Which one? The fuses or Paul?

But seriously, the answer to both is: yes, often. I don't really want to ridicule Paul, a little ribbing as with friends is ok, but I think audiophile fuses are the best and wouldn't want to discourage a potential fuse ridicule thread just because it's not the first.

 

[wwenze]

Yes.

No.

 

[Maurizio_Maggi]

THE FUSES... hahaha

Sorry, I saw it yesterday and wondered whether designing Audio-products is witchcraft or applied technology and science.

 

[solderdude]

It is engineering and supposedly also witchcraft according to some.

Fuses IN the speaker path could potentially lead to measurable effects. It will never be visible outputted audio when in the power supply path ... unless it is open circuit... then the effect is very measurable.

Wait... are you suggesting that witchcraft isnt "applied technology and science"?
