***Well, I guess it depends upon what your argument is based. If it's based ultimately on your personal, subjective preferences, then it's simply not an argument as far as I'm concerned.***come on steve... point me to one audio fact that is not solely based on opinion.... the end results of all of these efforts are perceived, therefore subjective.
*** If you're basing it on objective criteria, then that's another matter which can be argued.****
objectively a system is -1 db at 10K.... how do you know if its good or bad?
***Hehehe. Though you're not just getting more capacitance, you're getting more inductance as well relative to a "crappy conductor" all else being equal***gee my guess was the inductance would cancel... and it will.
***And now let me turn your own question around on you if I may. Why go through all that only to turn around and send the signal through a vacuum tube which is loaded with "crappy conductors"? Steel. Nickel. Tungsten. Aluminum. Thorium. Various oxides. Etc. If "crappy conductors" butcher the sound, and even a 94/6 copper/nickel alloy kills the sound as you say, why would anyone want to let an audio signal get anywhere a vacuum tube?****OK i do know a copper anode GM70 sounds way better than a graphite one... do a search i have been begging for a copper anode mesh tube for some time... at least i am consistant... particularly as a plate material, copper also has the added benefit of being non-magnetic... but thats a different topic altogether... also as you know the effect of resistors is proportional to the actual amount of resistance...and of course as far as i know no part of a tube is designed with the sole purpose of being purely resistive... the selection of those crappy conductors is a matter of need in some cases, and manufacturing ease and reliability in others... its not really a fair compairison.
***Is this not also a contradiction? I mean, you're the one who seems to be arguing for some sort of consistency here.***
i'm not saying we need consistncy, i'm saying things are consistant, and its our perception that changes... the rules are set, and unchanging, its out interpretation that seems to be all over the place, and then we use science to justify what is essentially an opinion...
as a fun throwback, we know resistance changes with temperature, and as resistance goes up so does noise and nonlinearity, why not use those horrible filaments at room temperature where of course they will be much better conductors???
