RE: DIY silver Interconnect

Posted by mitch2 on July 7, 2012 at 00:53:12:




It is Starsound microbearing material, which they created for resonance control, similar to the Virtual Dynamics' Dynamic Filtering and serves a similar damping purpose as the Purist Ferox material.

From the (former) Virtual Dynamics literature;
"The cornerstone on which Virtual Dynamics builds its cables is the belief that Coloumb friction, which is described as mechanical vibration due to the resistance in the flow of electrons, causes mechanical energy to develop in conductors. This, according to Virtual Dynamics, results in distortion. The company claims that its Dynamic Filtering damps vibration from the conductor by using specially designed spheres or particles as a mechanically based circuit."

It was my understanding that Virtual Dynamics may have actually used material from Starsound at some point. I believe later they used brass material.
