Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Upgraditus bit me again...

Good post! and you may be right on a few points. A lot of talk about it but few explain it. I don't have the knowledge in electronics to get into any debate over this as I would be talking out my a$$. It just seems odd that so many "Gurus" talk about it but none seem to explain it. I already have a email into a guy who actually responds to most of my emails and has for years and who I think knows his stuff. Bob Carver. When and if he gets back to me I will post his thoughts on this!

This is a good debate and please understand, I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just going from personal experience with various pieces.

Yeah, that and some of the silly explainations("electron flow") by some "Gurus" are the things that bug me most about "break in". I would love to see some straight talk about it from some of the "Gurus".

I've heard Bob Carver's name for years and he has often been refered to as a "genius" in his field. I hope you're successful in picking his brain. I would love to hear his thoughts.

Can't beat that personal experience!

That was, I have to say, another fantastic post. (no, I'm not kissing ass here. What would it gain me?). When we keep these debates civil, I find them to be very interesting. I must agree that "establishing the electron flow" sounds like something out of Dr. Who or Star Trek to me. "I'll reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!" is one of my all time favorites. The first person to tell me what's wrong with that gets a gold star.

Neutrons are... neutral. No charge. No polarity to reverse. Gold star please.

Good. You're easy to deliver it to.

In physics, the neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass of 940 MeV (very slightly more than a proton). The nucleus of most atoms (all except the most common isotope of Hydrogen, which consists of a single proton only) consists of protons and neutrons. Outside the nucleus, neutrons are unstable and have a half-life of about 15 minutes, decaying by emitting an electron and antineutrino to become a proton. The same decay method (beta decay) occurs in some nuclei. Particles inside the nucleus are typically resonances between neutrons and protons, which transform into one another by the emission and absorption of pions. A neutron is classified as a baryon, and consists of two down quarks and one up quark.

The characteristic of neutrons which most differentiates them from other common subatomic particles is the fact that they are uncharged. This property of neutrons delayed their discovery, makes them very penetrating, makes it impossible to observe them directly, and makes them very important as agents in nuclear change.....blah blah blah.....now my head is spinning!

Wow, for a marketing executive, you have a good grasp on subatomic particles.

To give credit where credit is due, one should really quote the source of the reference statements or material lest they be pursued by the legal masses for plagiarism.

That was a very obvious cut and paste, hence the blah blah.....and last time I checked quoting the dictionary of chemistry was not pursuable by legal masses!

Relax people!
