| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Hi Jim,I always have great respect for Herman’s opinions and insights, and as usual I don’t disagree with any of his comments that you quoted. And as you’ve no doubt gathered over the years, like him I happen to be someone who generally tries to b... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Gentlemen, I believe that at this point we are all on the same page regarding what occurs when an electrical signal propagates. To the extent that there is disagreement I believe it just revolves around terminology, and its interpretation. Regardi... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Thanks, Jim. Regarding...Am I correct in assuming watts is a measurement of electrical energy? Watts is a unit of power, as you of course realize. Power is a quantity that is defined at a specific instant of time, although its average value over s... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Hi Jim,As always you ask good questions. Regarding the first one, though... Could you please explain in more detail the relationship of the electromagnetic wave, that travels in the space outside of the conductor, (At near the speed of light), ... | |
| power for mc452 and c2600 VERY VERY glad to hear that, Dave.What a nightmare this must be for countless tens of thousands of less fortunate people, both now and very far into the future. It further reinforces how fortunate we all are to be able to enjoy quality music repro... | |
| Why do digital coax cables matter? Mr_m, yes, inductance and most other cable parameters are proportional to length, including resistance, capacitance, the resistance rise at high frequencies caused by skin effect, the effects of dielectric absorption, and propagation delay.In the ... | |
| Why do digital coax cables matter? Geoffkait 8-30-2017... so what’s the diff? The difference is the frequencies that are involved, Geoff, which bring completely different effects into play. Such as the one that is explained in the paper by Steve N. of Empirical Audio that was refer... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? The only time I drink wine (or anything else) while the system is playing is during non-critical listening from an adjacent room, mainly while my wife and I are having dinner. I would find doing so during critical listening to be too much of a dis... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kdude66 8-27-2017 If my memory is correct,The m22 has about 23db of voltage gain which is only 3db lwr than most SS amps at 26db.It’s been a long time since I had mine.... The M22 has extremely low distortion and a very good signal to noise ratio ... | |
| power for mc452 and c2600 I too have been thinking of you today, Dave, as well as some of the other members who are in the affected area. And I've been very glad to see that you've been able to post today.Hoping for the best for you and yours in this terrible event.-- Al | |
| MM or MC......Voyager Expedition Apparently it was neither:http://www.shure.com/americas/support/find-an-answer/shure-phono-cartridge-on-the-voyager-spacecraftCeramic cartridges are an old relatively lo fi technology based on piezoelectric effects, rather than electromagnetic pri... | |
| Opinions It varies from system to system, of course. But more often than not the importance of a line-level analog interconnect can be expected to be greatest where the output impedance of the component providing the signal into the cable is highest, espec... | |
| Why do digital coax cables matter? Mrblackcrow 8-26-2017 I read somewhere else that all interconnects can benefit from being 1.5m. Somehow that doesn’t sound right to me. So, is it true- will 1.5m RCA interconnects going from my DAC to my pre amp sound better than the 2 ft length I... | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Attymbb 8-25-2017I was previously using a bought new Ref 75 se which blew 2 tubes at the 30 hour mark. Despite being biased every 2 weeks. However, not only did the tubes blow ( due to the deterioration of the of the cathode coating of 2 tubes, I ... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Chalmersiv, the answer to your question is of course not predictable with any kind of certainty, in part because cable effects are dependent to a significant degree on the technical characteristics of what is being connected. And in the case of a... |
