I was talking to Richard Vandersteen and asked him similar questions as above... As far as power cords are concerned, he agrees they do make a change in the sound, but insists that his powered speakers were designed using the included cords, and as far as he is concerned, that's the intended sound. His internal wire comes from various manufacturers. Tweeters have different electrical requirements than do midrange speakers or woofers, and Vandersteen said that he uses the ones he uses after many listening tests. The result is that for instance his model 5A's as it is shipped from the factory is Vandersteen's statement. Sure it all can be modified, but don't call it Vandersteen.
A question about the logic of interconnect cables
This question has always been with me...without a satisfactory answer to date.
Why do we not use the same internal wire ( for interconnects) that manufacturers use which feeds their outputs or inputs internal to their product?? It would seem to me that this wire's quality (regardless of what we use eternally) is a limiting factor in the first place
Example..I have an ARC Tube Preamp and ARC tube amps...why do I need "special " interconnects when in fact, the wire used to feed the output of my XLR preamp output is the same identical wire beyond the xlr input of my amps?
I would appreciate some logic here.....Thanks
