Unless you're building in an old Lincoln or Hobart cabinet, it's difficult to get a 57 1/8" long printed circuit board to fit. Much easier to figure 8 the wire, and tie wrap it in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims to hear the difference of 1/8 inch when moving a free standing tweeter on top of a speaker. He linked an article talking about the sound differences in the color of zip ties. The list goes on and on and on......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Oh, my favorite. His mentor built a ported 12 inch sub that was flat to 12hz. This was maybe 40 years ago or so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Are you saying some people can’t hear the sound difference due to different coloured zip ties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can "claim" anything right? So not hard to believe. The point isn't to get wrapped around the axle, but the one making the claim is responsible for providing the substantiation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but the one making the claim is also the one who believes that "because I said so" is sufficient substantiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to write something similar. There's no way to prove or disprove what someone hears and that's being used as the first line of rebuttal to all the outrageous claims. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows otherwise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows otherwise though. And with that we've taken this thread off the rails -- it's as much my fault as anyone elses, so I apologize. I will attempt to redeem myself by repeating an earlier comment: I have my father's Scott LK-72 and it's a sweet-sounding amplifier (because I said so). So my congratulations to @John Warren for some beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
