| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? As the amount of current the cables carry increase, the geometry matters less and less. I think it's the opposite. That is the higher the current, the more geometry matters. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Andy21 it is you that is trolling!, there is nothing in my original post that suggest that I've deliberately provoked anyone but you have in your last post. Get a life!! Lols, I was referring to djones guy trolling and not you. | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? ^^^ I am glad you were able to get a huge improvement over the Blue Jeans. I used to have Blue Jeans speaker cables and interconnects but it was easily bested by a set of QED cables that didn't cost that much more than Blue Jeans. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... djones51, please reread my post, I never said that power cords and the impact they have on our systems can not be measured. Rather I'm not concerned with measurements, only with the way they sound in my system. To phd,Ignore him. He's just t... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? ^^^ I agree. As I said before that the cable budget should be proportional to the overall system cost. If you only have a low end system, then Belden cables or even some zip cords should be OK. But if your system costs north of 20K or so, then ... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Twisted wire will help guard against interference. I've never tried these but they look pretty well made and offer to measure the LCR for you at a reasonable price. https://sites.google.com/view/pine-tree-audio/speaker/speaker-cables/visceral C... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Twisted cables tend to have higher capacitance but lower inductance on average. It's a trade off so there is no perfect solution. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Interesting point. Considering how all that current has to flow through a ’tiny’ fuse, yet a big honking power cord can still make a change to the overall sound still boggles my mind. Richard Feynman once said if anyone thinks he understands quan... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Let think about it. If you're saying the cable is the last 3ft, then why would a power supply be any different? That is the power supply is the last one after many miles of cables, just like the power supply cord as the last 3ft, then why a powe... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable ^^^ If an amp has low DF (high output impedance), it will drive the high frequency more if a speaker has a rising impedance toward 20KHz which will result in harsh treble. But if an amp has high DF (low output impedance), then the difference is l... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... insearchofprat,It's really hard to explain without being technical. Without a technical background, it would be hard to understand even with a good explanation. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? What happened to Robert? Haven't seen him posting lately. Did he get banned? | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Most cable resistance is fairly low enough that DF may not be that importance. The problem comes in when the impedance of the speaker load increases toward 20KHz that damping factor could be a problem especially with tube amp. If so, the sound c... | |
| Ethernet Cables The cable carries noise into the dac/stream. I haven’t tried Ethernet cables as much, though I imagine the better shielding and noise suppression the better the performance. That's why different USB and possibly Ethernet cables have different ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Here is a review of QED Signature Revelation which is not that much more expensive than Belden but better in every aspect. They use a very unique geometry that can’t be found from Home Depot. https://www.qed.co.uk/qed-revelation-cable.html#tab1 |
