Honesty of the Reviewers


How honest you think the reviewers are? How often you see them saying one component is not good, most of time they will say this is the one of the best..... And you think when they say "I like it so I buy it." is more like " I get it free from the manufactor"?

@rok2id "Because speakers are driven at low impedance (typically 4 or 8 ohms) and high current, speaker cables are, for all practical purposes, immune from interference from EMI or RFI, so shielding isn’t required” -there is a loop inductance of the speaker cable as well, which sometimes resonates with speaker’s crossover circuit, and gives amp hard time, to be stable! Kimber kable uses minimizing loop inductance direction in their speaker cable designs, using those in my setup improved SQ significantly. -most amplifiers have feedback loop, which can be affected by very high frequencies from RFI/EMI sources. I use low loop inductance Kimber Kable cable to lower such impact in my system. -some of 4/8 Ohms speakers with higher order filter crossovers have much lower impedance than rated, sometimes 1Ohm, thus higher output current amp does sound better with them.

"Well there certainly was something romantic about analogue tape"

-practical too, (too) many of sound tracks we run, original or remixed, are originated from studio tapes
