You mentioned the system, the budget, that you supposedly testified at a hearing about it, and the company's name. If you now want to claim nothing about your entire, suddenly, conveniently "secret" work history is on the net, then you may easily supply your dates of imaginary employment, imaginary job title, and what imaginary testimony you gave.

The only reason your boss's name is secret all of a sudden is that, imo, you're a grifter - not merely a performance artist, but a con man with a severe personality disorder, imo.

Or else you may easily provide enough factual information so that your self contradicting claims here can be verified offline.

It's none of your business. Is that clear enough? Oh, I almost forgot. Get a life, jerk-off!

You publicly brought up your work history and your "testimony" about a "billion dollar" air controller system to bolster your claims of, what?, scientific expertise, mentioning both the company name and the "controller" system name. Your claims should be trivial to verify, as are any claims of employment, except now all of a sudden it's become "secret" and "none of my business."

And instead of providing prosaic information you switched over to an unrelated set of claims about "metallurgy," a typical tactic of dissemblers.

I don't think you can "engineer" your way out of your seeming lies and fraud, and you remember all this the next time you fail to hold your tongue. Again, I think you're more disturbed than only a con man. I know that's clear enough....

Geez, talk about reading comprehension fail. I brought up my work experience on the testing of a billion dollar program to demonstrate I have some experience in testing, I was responding to Michael's insinuation that I didn't do testing or know about testing or some similar nonsense. I am under no obligation whatsoever to have to prove my claims. Are you living on Mars? As far as your name calling goes you can kiss my ass.

I realize you are getting a little worked up over all this so can I suggest you give some consideration to taking a nice long cold shower?

I like being in it, but I don't like getting too close, know what I mean? There's a weird thing that happens crossing over from the music world to the high end audio world that sometimes is creepy. It's kinda like God tipped the pan and all of the missfit engineers slid to the bottom and ended up here.

I'm not sure I put music listeners in the same camp as high end audiophiles. Some are listeners but many are in a different place mentally.

I wouldn't talk. Anyone who thinks that getting up and tuning the whole damn room before every single track is not exactly the model of mental health. Can you say Audio Nervosa? Why not try something entirely new, like getting a cassette player and sitting down and listening to the whole thing, straight through without fidgeting and worrying about the soundstage and getting up out of your BarcoLounger every three minutes You just might find it relaxes you, you know, music soothes the savage breast and everything.

Let's do this Catch22, when the new room is up, I'll send you a plane ticket and put you up here in Vegas for a couple of days of listening. The only thing I ask in return is that we do live reports from Vegas throughout your visit.

Don't think I can be any more fair than this. But once your here I hope you give as much energy into what you learn about tuning, as the negative push your doing on these pages without ever doing it.

I jumped on catch22's thread http://www.stereophile.com/content/catch22s-loudness-war with Joe Morello "Going Places" an audiophile classic, let's see if he wants to do some listening.

Aside from attempting another beachhead for TuneLand these posts offer nothing new to the topic of this thread. If you do not wish to debate the pros and cons of wire directionality perhaps you can select someone from your web site to be your proxy here, hopefully someone who actually can debate the subject, one way or the other it's mox nix to me.

Maybe you can get the money back from whatever school you went to so you can pay him. By the way did you even figure out if you have an Oppo in the house? I don't really care one way or the other but I'm just kind of curious since you said you did then you denied it so vehemently. You have an Oppo, you don't have an Oppo....Just seems pretty strange, that's all.

By eliminating transformers, interconnects, speaker cables, internal wiring, fuses, digital cables, and speakers with internal wiring I completely eliminated the entire problem of wire directionality in one fell swoop when I went to a very small portable earphone system. You know, since mathematically about half of all wiring and cabling is installed backwards. AT THE SAME TIME By eliminating completely all cabling and wiring from the system I eliminated all the sources of magnetic fields that distort the pure audio signal and make it unworthy of audition. I also eliminated the NEUROTIC BEHAVIOR that ordinary systems produce in the listener, sometimes to the point he is compelled to get up and dick around until he gets the sound so he can stand listening to it.

By obsessing over specs you have missed the whole point of the cassette players. That's kind of the WHOLE POINT. Hel-loooo! I assume you are being intentionally dense as per usual.

Now you keep ranting about your low-mass system. I do remember that even the undergrade courses differentiated between "necessary" and "necessary and sufficient" conditions (sorry, I dunno the exact expressions in English).
Now going low-mass might be necessary but in no way is it sufficient: you gain some, you lose some. Now, going low-mass without losing anything is a different matter that you don't seem to have resolved.

I appreciate all the high fallutin' PhD double speak but it's better in every way. Yes, I realize the whole idea of the cassette and digital portable players probably gives you, you know, with your big expensive system, and your Siltechs (oh, my!!), a Royal Case of the Ass at the very suggestion.

Just to continue what May mentioned regarding the "green" Sony SACDS. Several points. The SACDs in question came out circa 2008 and were SDM SACD. The SHM being Super High Material which actually should be Super High Performance Material since the specific polycarbonate Sony uses is both more transparent and the data more accurately created as the material is more easily deformed.

SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as SACD.

Features:
• SHM-SACD
• 2-channel Single Layer SACD
• Two-channel SACD layer only, to secure enough reflectance and not to compress DSD file.
• Label of the disc is printed with a special green ink called 'Onsho Shiyou,' which minimizes diffuse reflection.
• Carefully selected master audio is used, from existing DSD files to newly converted from analog tapes.
• This disc will ONLY work on a Super Audio Disc Player

NOTE: I suspect it would actually be difficult to isolate the green ink's contribution to SQ from the SHM clear layer contribution, or even from the overall recording and engineering of the disc, although some experimentation and testing might shed some light on Sony's green ink idea. Sound quality of these special discs has been reported to vary all over the place. I have not heard them myself. I suspect like everything else the green ink is probably not the silver bullet or the end of the rainbow.

Cheers,

I thought this was about whether or not and when wire is directional?

OK, fair enough. Here's a brief recap. We have learned that interconnects are directional. They are directional by virtue of the metal conductors being directional. I.e., they are directional even with no shielding. Hopefully manufacturers of shielded cables and interconnects are conscious of wire directionality when they construct their cables; they may or may not be ignorant. We also know that fuses, all fuses, are directional. Also due to crystal grain structure being non-symmetrical in wires that are draw through a die. So what can be conclude? Well, we can conclude that ALL wire, at least all metal wire is DIRECTIONAL. If that statement is TRUE then we can also conclude that all internal wiring in speakers, wiring in electronics, including the wire in resistors and capacitors, is DIRECTIONAL. We can also conclude that all speaker cables are DIRECTIONAL. We can also conclude that all TRANSFORMERS are, you guessed it! DIRECTIONAL. These conclusion can be made for both solid core and stranded wire. It is also true for cables with multiple conductors. All wire should be marked for directionality as it come off the final die. Now, going one step further, if it's true that the crystal grain structure of wire is deformed when it comes through a die and therefore favors one direction over the other wouldn't it be true that any shaping, bending, sheet forming operation of copper or steel or aluminum, or nickel, whatever metal is used in connectors, would also be subject to the same deformations of the crystal structures? If so, would it not be prudent to suspect all CONNECTORS are also directional? Hel-looo!

Next up, are ground wires directional?

How come wires are directional since the audio signal is AC?
Any answer to that or do you start from the "we have learned"? From who?

I don't know. I was kinda hoping you could tell me, you know, since you're the phd in information theory and signal processing. I suspect the music information is only going in one direction - toward the speakers. Or at least that's the direction that counts. Who cares what it sounds like going in the other direction? I'm all set for you to set me straight.

Don't tell me you aren't on board the wire directionality train. Tell me it ain't so. The man with a full loom of Siltech is living back in the 1980s? Tsk tsk...
