Ralf11 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I thought this would be fun for those tired of stopping jitter with regeneration or origami blur discussions. "With a solid conductor, or rather, an alloy or element in a solidus (below melting point) atomic lattice configuration. In such condition, ‘electrical response’ , or electron flow, is restricted to electron orbital ‘co-joined’ pathways in the atomic lattice. This is the situation in what we call ‘DC Flow’ in the given conductor. This relates to named observations like Johnson–Nyquist noise. " YEH BABY!! Link to comment
mansr Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd be surprised if these things are actually liquid. Metal alloys that are liquid at room temperature contain mercury or gallium, both with rather nasty properties. Link to comment

Speedskater Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I remember decades ago, audio cables that were tubes filled with liquid mercury. A solution in search of a problem. Well they created problems of their own. Now getting back to liquid conductors, there are areas in science and medicine that require much better conductors than anything in audio. And there is much more money to be made in science and medicine than in hi-fi. Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 It has the absolute worst BS of any audio site I've seen. "Signal is inherently a plasma. Ionic plasma, or an electron cloud, with a pressure differential..." Ilaz 1 Link to comment

Call it Confirmation Bias Cable Company Please! I nominate Warp Drive audio cables. Individual cable names can be part of the Starship series. Power cables part of the Plasma Conduit series. Digital doo dads can be part of the Isolinear series. lucretius 1 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.

esldude Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/teoaudio/liquid.html Been reviewed by several places including the always wonderful 6 moons. Cables are only $2398 per meter pair. Yes, not even $2400. The liquid metal is according to the review: That fluid is a room-temperature molecular slurry of Gallium, Indium and Tin, a mix* that is related to the alloy inside child-proof thermometers where it replaces toxic Mercury. But because free Gallium interacts with aluminum somewhat akin to Ridley Scott's movie alien and its acid saliva -- exposed Gallium eats into aluminum and aircraft hulls are made from aluminum -- it is considered hazmat. Since they mentioned Alien, maybe Alien names would be more appropriate than Star Trek based nomenclature.

In addition to the well-known effect of gallium on aluminium, it is also corrosive to almost all other metals, including copper and steel. You really don't want that stuff loose in your house.

OldBigEars Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Has anyone who's shared their infinite knowledge on this thread actually used these cables? Or are you too busy optimizing your Isotope settings?
