When and where will the new cables be sold? Can I get a 30 day money back on them? Will you loan any out for testing?

Thanks

Not an advertising forum. Sorry. It' s just a lightening rod, anyway. The point of information you are looking for is right in the James Randi thread, IIRC. I'm the manufacturing point. Members can talk among themselves on such. But I will not initiate, nor perpetuate. All I said was 'hey, new cool thing, check it out if you want to.' No more needs be said. My signature says nothing about any associations, so it must be kept that way.

Well would you then PM me the info?

No.

How can we check it out, if we don't know what it is?

BTW, you can change your signature, click on "user cp" at the top of the page.

Interesting! Not sure why it's relevant, but it's certainly interesting!

Easy. We will be able to use this technology soon to essentially freeze and preserve brains while the person is living - so that everyone can be like a TROLL is now. Guess the identity of the TROLL?:D In this thread its not KBK as he didn't start the thread.

This one even uses the word acoustic. ;)

"the discovery can contribute to improving processes such as cleaning smoke from chimneys and reducing emissions from car exhausts"

Hmm, guess I'll keep looking. Need something that can also clean mirrors.

What does this have to do with the Liquid Cables? Still I ask when will they be available?

Notice how KBK and ValhallaPC NEVER post at the same time. Sort of like Clark Kent and Superman!

Yes, I wonder what became of Valhalla. It has been a while since he posted? The last thing I recall reading about him was when someone linked to his new walking technique or something. It was very Monty Python.

Steve; sorry to be OT, but how have you fared with the new board you were going to get from Theta (IIRC) that was aimed at helping the digital lock-on issue? It appears that my CBIII came with this already installed since there is an option for "DLOCK" Normal or Wide in set-up.

New board works fantastic even with my DirecTV HR-20, which causes glitches so Theta rewrote software and works without hitch.

Thanks Steve,

I was concerned I would have problems after reading the old thread on the issue but I have the DLOCK set to Normal and I have not had a single total loss of signal lock from a digital source, including the Scientific Atlanta 8300DVB. I do notice however that the CBIII would seem to be occaisionally "slow" to lock on. For example if I skip a chapter during a movie I will lose audio for around two seconds, same when listening to audio CD's over SPDIF. I was wondering if you ever notice this and if it is normal? Do you have DLOCK set to Normal or Wide?

That is normal, I get it , too. My DLOCK is set to Normal. Wide doesn't sound quite as good. So long as no signal lock problems no need to set to Wide.

It' s just a lightening rod, anyway.

Is the rod made from hydrogen? ;)

I guess the word is getting out, then.

Yes, I have created the first MHD, or MagnetoHydroDynamic transmission line.

A 'room temperature' 'fluid metal' transmission line. It will remain the only one of it's type, as I have cornered the entire area of endeavor. (Patent Pending)

The difference here, is phenomenal. Skin effect and propagation issues drop to being almost completely out of the picture. I felt that instead of attempting to try and 'fix' skin effect issues..it was best to bypass them altogether. Ie, a cable design that simply does not have the issues that 'solidus' phase materials have. The frozen lattice of the structure is the issue.


The point that really drives it home?

Silica, is an excellent insulator. Fabulous.

Heat it to it's 'liquidus' phase. What happens?

It becomes an excellent conductor. Many materials do. Why? what goes on? What are the benefits, what are the issues?

Well, Maxwell's original treatsie on electromagnetism had 20 equations in 20 unknowns. Heaviside shortened it to 2, as he felt transmission line engineers would never need the full and complex equations. Foolish man, at least on that one presumptuous point of his.This is why we've never been able to design beyond simple motors, etc.

Maxwell's work is finally available again, after nearly 100 years of costing over $5,000 to obtain a single copy. They were and are that highly valued, yes. For reasons you will quickly understand, if you go and investigate.

Now, when we get to the idea of that 'proper' complexity about electromagnetic transmission lines.... and then add in MHD, well, things are starting to head into chaos.

Let's just say the problems of audio cables are largely cured, with the creation of a MHD (Liquid Cable) cable. But the mathematical 'solves' in terms of equations that need be addressed..just went through the roof. Barely worth contemplating, not really worth attempting to solve, as it is not even close to being a solved subject in the cutting edge of physics, today. Too complex, too many variables. This gets a touch fractal, as well.

Throw some motional mass, twisting, and orientation under load in the individual molecular level, into that 'motional slurry' of analysis. It'll make your head spin. Gross models can be made and worked with - but the minutae are still under the gun of 'unexplained' and poorly understood, if at all. The science itself (MHD) was only first considered in 1970.

The cables sound better than any other cable out there, regardless of price or design. It's the end of cable design 'flavoring', is what it is, and approaches the idea of transmission with minimal damage and influence upon the signal, far more than any other cable before.

I realistically doubt that any type standard 'wire' cable, of any kind, design, alloy, or layout -- from this moment in history and into the future, can even remotely compete with it.

Even the engineering types tend to hear it, and in a positive light....immediately.

It is an awesome thing to hear what the sound of solidus phase 'cables' (ie, wire, as you know it) have done to 'damage' your musical enjoyment, for the first time in your life. For the first time in your life, you will hear the absence of that damaging effect..and for the first time, realize it's existence. it will be the first time in your life you get to transmit a signal via electrical means, without the damaging effects of solidus phase materials. An MHD cable is a fluid molecular slurry and is specifically the slipperiest material known to mankind.

Separate components with connecting cables can now outshine any Integrated or similar. Period. The old saw about no cable always being superior is now about to be very closely questioned.

And forever afterward (after hearing this MHD cable), you will ALWAYS hear the 'wire' and know how much damage it does. You will thereafter prefer the MHD cable. And you will never understand how you managed to live without it. Approximately 50 people have heard the cable so far, and all except two- feel it is likely the greatest bit of change to hit the High End Audio industry in quite some time. To clarify - the ratio, so far, is that 96% of the audiophiles and industry professionals who who hear it, feel they must own it. It becomes a stunningly essential design tool and listening enjoyment device.

The delicious side note, is that the more emotional of us will shed many more tears of joy in front of our audio systems. If this does not make you get up and dance, to slam the tunes until the sun comes up.....nothing will.

It will inspire you to think of many, many, many..... other things..............and it will change the way audio equipment is designed. It will change the way you listen. It will completely change the way that signal propagation in materials is understood, for the very vast number of audio engineers. Many new patents and ideas will be realized from this new thinking.

If you really listen to it...and attempt to understand what it is doing....it will change the way you understand the universe.

I guess modern engineering must be flawed due to the suppressed or filtered details that about died with Maxwell as the classical definition of a ‘transmission line’ is a line that exceeds about 1/100 of the wavelength. Given that the ¼ wavelength for 20Khz is about 12,000 ft- most audio interconnects for 20-20Khz BW will fall well short of the classical EE definition of a transmission line. Are you selling a ‘transmission line’ for audio frequency wavelengths by the foot or the mile? :D
Unless your BW of interest is well over 20Khz or your lengths are over 50ft, I submit you aren’t really selling a ‘trasmission line’ but rather ‘wires’. By the classical EE definition.

As far as understanding transmission lines, I guess spice model and IBIS simulators must be flawed? I’ve modeled and simulated many a transmission line (by the classical EE definition) and compared to the reality that I can measure; they seem to do an excellent job of modeling and simulating the issues and effects.

I’ve had liquid metal in my tennis rackets and its in golf clubs and made a buzz for liquid cooling while it was in vogue (and you can keep it from sludging) but I sense the marketing gimmicks has largely died down in those applications. I imagine Carbon Nanotube interconnects and golf balls soon.

Also, if you reject the fundamental intrinsic Newtonian quantities such as time or space (as you seemed to in another thread) then how could you hope to do even the first computation of transmission line issues and effects when variables like velocity, frequency, wavelength, risetime, etc are defined by time? It seems Maxwell must have bought into the fundamental intrinsic concept of time.

This is really the craziest thing I have ever read on this forum! :eek:

you are in truly fine form ken.

At the vary least now ValhallaPC will have to invest in a bunch of new cables that are "better" than Nordost Valhalla, and he'll have to change his name from ValhallaPC to MagnetoHydroPC!

I expect that ValhallaPC would attempt to modify the "MHD" cable and probably poison himself.

I also thought that the Soviet Union had already successfully developed and deployed MHD technology in their nuclear submarine fleet? I think the US messed with it a couple of years ago, but couldn't make it work.

I should be careful, this careless talk could get me killed! :)
