Already been done by LIPA in NY (Long Island Power Authority), at least over a short run

World?s first transmission voltage superconductor cable energised successfully in LIPA?s power grid - Nexans

Hmmm. I wonder if that explains the plaque, the potted wire samples, and the newspaper article hanging in the lobby?

I need about 10 meters of that for my speakers. Who has samples?

If the stuff weren't about a hunnert bucks a meter....sheesh.
Unfortunately, superconducting cables still obey that darn maxwell guy...L and C will still do the same thing..

Sheesh indeed. That's entry-level pricing for audiophile cables today.

But, but...but R, i mean its R =0, not almost. We need that in speaker cables. I kid of course.

On anothing kidding note, i can see some of the cold from the liquid nitrogen battling it out with the heat from a class A Pass amp. The front lines of the battlezone would have its own weather system: miniature hurricanes, hail, etc...

Just caught up on this thread ... going back a bit Max might be onto something regarding the size of some audiophiles equipment and the " mines bigger than your's " display.
Wonder what conclusions Freud would have come to after a few hours " on the couch " .

speaker oil for better sound

Having rescued three scratchy old speakers now by liberally spraying them with WD40 I think I know why it works.

Basically, when you soak your speaker cone with WD40 it makes it more slippy so the sound particles can fly off it better. Don't know why I didn't think of this before!

I used to wonder why many listening rooms resemble padded cells, now i know

 

[esgigt]

Probably right enough, madness is unrestricted by time or budget.

Next 'upgrade' we cryo treat the national grid

mmmm.... at least we'll get Cool sound from that....

These are the "refrigerators" I want to build for myself someday.

Well, WD40 is a mixture of several oils I've read. Maybe one of them is Snake. Wonder how many snakes needed to get a an ounce of oil?

They get iy from the cosmetic company that you showed.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Wonder what that job pays, squeezing the snake oil out of the snakes? Hope the benefits are good...

Virgin Cold Pressed Snake Oil is the best. $$$$$ tho.

Right. Like you'd be able to tell it from slutty, hot pressed snake oil without peeking.
