Werner Jagusch Crossovers Damaged on Delivery - Can I Repair?
Hot-melt, which seems to be how components are mounted is great for home projects, not too great if you are shipping things.I can only see one half of the cores, in your pictures, the part outside the coil. What does the other side look like speci... 
The secret to a great amplifier...
Based on all the report of these magical orange fuses blowing, I wonder whose fuse would blow first :-)I hope they are not taking a low value fuse and marking it as a higher value. That would be one way to reduce the noise in the power supply. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Not IMHO kijanki, but absolute fact that at 7Mhz it will have no effect. At 1Mhz, worst case would be -170db down.  I would be careful with the 1000 meter example. In that case, the worse case would be -60db error at 20KHz, which could be argued a... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Oh, and your "White Paper" shows 0.94uH/meter for Isolda, but your website shows 0.002uH but does not show a length.I looked further into the Isolda, pictures and the dimension estimates I made.  I expect that 6.6uH is quite wrong, but that 0.002u... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
I had actually taken that out shortly after I wrote that Cleeds as I wanted to save them embarrassment after I tried to simulate the results in figure 3 and found more and more critical and fundamental errors in the paper.  I know it was not fully... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
"Highly experienced electronic engineers" .... It is not a matter of whether I disagree or not. Anyone with a basic knowledge of transmission lines, knows that the speed of reflection is so fast, that the signal quickly settles to the final value,... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
The quoted author then says a 10Khz square wave is audio frequencies. That should be your first clue. The fundamental of the 10khz is audible , i.e. 10khz. All the harmonics are inaudible. A 10khz square wave does not represent real audio. It is s... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Yes let’s look at that, where the author uses 100 meters of cable to show 10000nsec reflections that no one denies exists, but those reflections settle out. The only one that uses 100 meter cables is studios and you may want to look into what they... 
Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?
Unless you are driving properly terminated XLR (110 ohms), odds are you are dealing with source resistances of 600-2K ohms, and load resistances of 10K - 100K. Fairly small wires will work well at the typical lengths used. But then again large wir... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
No, not with a load. Inductance usually dominates over capacitance.The closer the wires in a cable are to each other, the more rounded will be the Square Wave coming out of the other end.Only way to get a matching Square Wave Out, is to space the ... 
A blessing? Or a curse?
I think you mean people who think they hear better, but never really put that to the test should stop insulting others. All these people who claim they have "superior" hearing, rarely do but they certainly feel the need to tell everyone else they ... 
A blessing? Or a curse?
There is that lack of self reflection I was talking about. millercarbon OP6,606 posts11-19-2020 9:11pm... and it is clear (to those who can read and comprehend the English language) that this is not at all about anyone's skill of hearing or lack... 
A blessing? Or a curse?
We know there are people here who have delusions of grandeur and of perceive they have superhuman capability, even though they are no different from anyone else. We know that, because they tell us, in every thread they possibly can, sometimes even... 
How it works! From a common man.
The zinc compound in Rislone is a very very poor conductor.  There is no zinc oxide in Rislone. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
... oops, now I see your cable was 6.6uH. Not bad for my 5uH upper end estimate. However, no idea what frequency your LCR meter measures at, so it could be inaccurate at 20KHz.The whole graph is a bit wonky. A short is 0V which is not 0db, it is s...
