Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance??

Jjss49, thanks. Prefer great minds guide me.

erik, ‘phase angle’? Wtf, ru kidding me. This is what discourages interest when people talk knowing most dont understand.

And still the world is confused.  So elusive is impedance.  The fog of war. Confusion. No one wins. 
 

big words. Big toys for da boys. 
 

good luck matching components.  Mktg confusion. 
 

Genius is explaining stuff so its understood by avg joes like me, in my view.

“conductors reacting to current (voltage) changes” - to me this may go to heart of understanding issue.

so it seems connectors used to bridge components, and a means to control and/or react to voltage changes within a component is vital.

what spec deals with this issue? Or not.

Elliotbnewcombjr, u very nice.

herein comments helpful.  I am slow to learn and maybe this is good.  Cant rush complex stuff.  Millercarbon needs to do yt vids. Cool guy.

seems quality of impedance is important, controlling frequency surges is important and parts/design used to do this well can vary and cost alot.  

am still cloudy on why its important for preamps to have lower impedance before reaching an amp.
