| ... 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 | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Is it possible that one can be fooled by Canare just as easily as by any other brands in cables? If you're someone who distrusts cable, why would you believe Canare over any other brands. So you are just as gullible as those who would blindly tr... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? The cable budget would have to be proportional to the overall system cost. A $20K system with Belden is like buying a Ferrari and cheap out on the tires. You don't want the cable to be the bottle-neck on the performance just as tires limiting the... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Robert has been mysteriously absent lately. His last few posts were complaining that people have been ganging up on him. Maybe you guys were hurting his feeling. | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp Power conditioner is no different from any other piece of audiophile equipment, the manufactures probably want to supply the cheapest possible power cables just so that they say they do. | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp What is harder to imagine is why anyone would buy a power conditioner from the manufacturer who supplies an inadequate cable I think it's profit margin and they probably want to buyer to pay for the cable. A good power cable can cost quite a b... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp As for power conditioner, just because you have one, does not mean the power cable does not matter.Imagine you have a power conditioner, but your power cable is slim and tiny, it will definitely affect the performance of the power conditioner. Th... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp not to isolation of the high frequencies from intentional power line filtering, leakage inductance, and frequency dependent hysteresis of the core, etc.It's called filtering, not isolation. Please be precise. Again you're using layman term. ... |
