Abstract

Aluminum-magnesium alloy support grid for sound optimization of hi-fi systems for the load-bearing support of 4-24 parallel cables with magnetic field protection, a permeability of approximately 1.0002 and a removable support column made of identical material that keeps the grid free from environmental contact near the ground. Even the highest-end hi-fi systems sound significantly more energetic, clearer, more accurate, more tangible, and more "in the room" when using my invention. Transients are much more realistic, the soundstage expands considerably, the sound and localization of the instruments are noticeably improved, and every single note becomes significantly more subtle, layered, and nuanced. Even the smallest sonic details become perceptible, details that are lost with conventional solutions.

Description

[0001] In the audiophile sector of the hi-fi industry, there is no shortage of complex solutions for attempting to improve the sound of music-reproducing systems.

[0002] It is known from DE 41 20 773 A1 that, at the typical conductor spacing between the two cores of a loudspeaker cable, the electromagnetic field (EM field) of one core impairs the current flow in or around the other core due to the so-called proximity effect. In contrast, this patent provides a "metal shield" between the two cores, which, as is known from my own patent DE 10 2021 002 028 B3, in turn leads to a disturbance of the field and thus to a significant signal degradation.

[0003] From DE 43 36 230 C1, it is known that improvements in signal transmission quality can be achieved by paired signal lines that are interconnected at the cable ends. However, this patent also provides for all wires to be routed close together in a common sheath, which is also provided with a shielding braid and a "core" located between the wires. This leads to the cable's own interference caused by the chaos of all the EM fields and interactions with both the neighboring wires and the other cable material. The self-induction, the increase in capacitance, and thus the power loss are immense.

[0004] From US 6 959 898 B1 it is known that several cables can be bundled and, with the help of a "hanger" in the form of a grid running parallel to the cables and attached to a hook, can be arranged so that they are tightly pressed together, e.g. on supports or on the ceiling, which, according to the summary of the patent, helps to avoid tangles and disorder.

[0005] What all these well-known proposals have in common is that they ignore some physical fundamentals of the known universe, known since Faraday and Maxwell. Signal transport is by no means carried out by electrons in the cable. This widespread misconception, which is still perpetuated everywhere, is fundamentally wrong. Rather, electrons slowly drift chaotically in the opposite direction, rearranging themselves in the conductor. The actual signal is an oscillating electromagnetic force field propagated by the free valence electrons in the outermost layer of the cable material!

[0006] To allow this signal to oscillate freely, my invention of a support grid positioned perpendicular to the lines keeps several parallel lines (up to 24) free from any contact with external substances that would influence the magnetic field. Likewise, it keeps the individual lines free from each other for this very purpose (i.e., it does the exact opposite of US 6 959 898 B1; moreover, it doesn't hang, but rather stands).

[0007] Installed at regular intervals to support the cable, it magnetically holds the entire cable solution free from electromagnetic contact with its environment as a practically neutral spacer made of an aluminum / magnesium alloy thanks to its dielectric constant of approx. 1, similar to my patent DE 10 2021 002 028 B3.

[0008] Even the highest-quality hi-fi systems sound significantly more energetic, clearer, more accurate, more tangible, and even more "in the room" when using this invention. Transients are much more realistic, the reproduced stage size increases significantly, the sound and positioning of the instruments involved are noticeably improved, and each individual note becomes significantly more subtle, complex, and rich in nuance. Even the smallest sound events become perceptible, which are lost with conventional solutions.
