Olive Oil injected RCA cable... - Page 4

This is no snake oil my friend, this is the wonderful multi-purpose Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Aside from making a great anti-oxidising agent THROUGH insulation. When the cable finally reaches its deterioration point in one months time (as all cables have), simply buy a new pair and extract the olive oil for consumption!

This is the most transparent cable I've seen!

*bad um ch!*

Hello together!

After all this incompetent slipslop, I want to clarify:

1. The reason for using oil is that it is a very good dielectric for this kind of application, superior to polymers or any other fluids. The cables "burn-in" exceptionally fast without the necessity of external power sources (see Audioquest DBC technology)

2. Oils with high oleic acid content like olive oil are best suited because of three reasons:
- their carboxyl groups accelerate the process of dielectric orientation to have superb sound even after only minutes of listening
- they are relatively stable to oxidation compared to other fatty acids
- good long-time compatibility with all materials used in cables

3. The manufacturing process is more complex than you think. The olive oil is not as natural as you buy it in the supermarket. Before injecting it into the cable tube, it is boiled to remove water and dried chemically using calcium chloride. Afterwards the oil undergoes steril filtration using extremely high pressure to ensure 100% purity making it colorless and clear. After injecting the oil into the cable, it is saturated with nitrogen before sealing it in a hot-melt process under nitrogen atmosphere. That way the incorporated oil has no possibility to undergo oxidation process as there is no oxygen there. If some oxygen molecules will rest in the oil, they will react with the sacrificial tocopherol, another component of the oil (better known as vitamin E).

4. You will hardly find cables using more advanced technology out there. European or US High-End companys would print their logo on the tube and sell them for many 100s or even 1000s of $$$

5. Test them, enjoy the sound and post your experience !!!

no offense but thank you audiophile's for all the laughs, this is nearly as funny as the audiophile (directional) fuses thread.

Talking of which, is Olive Oil directional?

And have you tried Castrol R racing oil instead of olive oil? Thats high performance and should produce a great smell when your house is on fire.

I have 150kv Xray cables filled with the finest
USA Texaco no. 55 mineral oil. Refillable too...
Lots smaller in diameter than the air-core versions
of same and easier to use.

Sorry, I cannnot find any funny thing about this cable technology.

Mineral oils as well as synthetic oils are not suitable for the application as dielectric in Hifi cables. One of the reasons is that they do not contain unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for the rapid directionally orientation of dielectric charge field surrounding the conductor. One-fold unsaturated fatty acids (like oleic acid) showed best results up to date but further tests are ongoing.

I hope my explanations are understandable.

R.

You are so convincing, persuasive. I want these cable badly now, no kidding. Respects, you are like a master of sales. Or are you?

No I am only a developper and try to declare things as easy as possible.

The audioquest DBS system is a great technology, which proves that the measurable electrical values of a conductor are only the base for lossless audio signal transfer but can be futher improved by optimizing the field of charge surrounding the conductor. DBS is an active system whereas oil cables have the same benefit passively.

Short explanation of the "oil-effect" (also applicable to DBS technology):
You can compare electron flow in the cable with water flow: if the inner walls of the pipe surrounding the water are not flat and even, turbulences will build which lead to significant deceleration of water molecules. In the same way, the electrical field sourrounding a conductor has to be straightened to prevent turbulences decelerating electrons. By the way, high frequencies are more effected by the electrical surrounding because of the skin effect.

alien-g, what's your oil cable manufacturer? Did they manufacture the cable in the first post? I am tempted to try some for novelty value and the apparently good build quality.

Sorry, I was told not to let the cat out of the bag yet, because my manufacturer hasn't released a cable of the oil-line yet.
Only now I klicked the ebay link on the first post. Seems like the chinese imitators are already faster than the originators...

I don't know about the quality of these cables at ebay. Besides the oil quality and sealing process it is also important that the conductors have direct contact with the oil e.g. by using porous isolation material. And there are many other details to consider.

hydraulic IC's ?

Pizza connect ?

upstateguy, I'll take a double pepperoni with some cheesy connectors.
