Can the Zitron Technology pass a perfect square wave regardless of source components between them?

Hello,

Just out of curiosity can this technology on the interconnect and speaker cable level pass a perfect square wave regardless of various impedance combinations. For example, will an equipment change alter the sound character of the connected cables?


Thanks

I think that you have the question upside down.

Try:
For example, will a cable change alter the sound character of the connected equipment?

The task of all good speakers cables is to not alter the sound.

Ok so more clarification ...

If the components are changed and thus have have different impedance.

Can the Zitron cables still pass a perfect square wave ? Regardless of the components

wiki:

A square wave is a non-sinusoidal periodic waveform (which can be represented as an infinite summation of sinusoidal waves), in which the amplitude alternates at a steady frequency between fixed minimum and maximum values, with the same duration at minimum and maximum. The transition between minimum to maximum is instantaneous for an ideal square wave; this is not realizable in physical systems.

Answer:

No.

Thanks for the links but hoping Grant or Calien will reply.

I've read the Zitron patent but just wanted clarifcation. I'm not an engineer.

There is no way to re-create a perfect square-wave after signal has travelled through conductors. As the measurements show, there is an extremely significant improvement to the square-wave signal with the zi-tron circuit applied versus without. This improvement is repeatable regardless of the electronics being used. We performed these tests live at CES a few years ago and coincided that with a guitarist playing through a JBL Amp with Mogami, then changing to the zi-tron wire. Sonically, the difference was startling, then listeners could see the test run with an oscilloscope and understand the fundamental reason for the difference, which was anything but subtle. The circuits actively track the signal pulses and prevent dielectric absorption. Certainly, there are many other factors that play roles in the performance of signal cables, but this is a significant patent for us and provides a measurable advantage in signal transfer because the circuit minimizes distortion and signal disruption _without_ altering or manipulating the signal itself.

Best regards,

Grant

Thanks Grant. I'm looking forward to the new speaker cables and interconnects and their respective new technologies.

The three main factors on how a cable may affect a system's sound are:
1] Length of the cable.
2] End-to-end total resistance/impedance of the cable.
3] Impedance curve of the loudspeaker.
