Post Subject: "Networking Home Appliances"???Posted by Paul S on: 10/2/2014

So, how did Dr. Wacks wind up at the Boston Audio Society meeting if he, in fact, has no idea of electricity's impact on sound? I thought the idea of "electrical interference" on a wide range of "appliances" was common knowledge. Certainly hospitals and laboratories, all sorts of "scientific" and manufacturing enterprises are "concerned" about the quality as well as the quantity of their electricity. Sure, it would be too much to expect "others" to relate "electrical interference" to "musical results"; but it still seems reasonable to expect an expert like Dr. Wacks to be conversant on the general topic of the "quality" of the electricity as it relates to sound, especially given that he was "guest speaker" at the BAS meeting in the first place.

Perhaps there is something to be gleaned from his talk, after all. What did he actually say?
