| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. drivingwatts For symmetry, try to keep both cables for same length, even if one is a bit longer than required.Speaker's data is not required. They are not a part of this "Speaker Cable" calculation.For a DF of 150 and 6’ it should be a #6 awg ... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. stevea11757 Thanks.The best to make your 0/1 awg cable is to use a short but thinner cable on the ends. I used #8 awg. For the length, 10cn (4'') is good.In person, I prefer banana plugs over spades. I used the Nakamichi type from eBay: http... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. ericnicky Sorry sir. A DF of 20 is so low that for 2m, you may use any ordinary cable (#14-#12 awg). | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. audiofool1 Your Nordost Heimdall 2 spec https://www.nordost.com/norse2/heimdall2/heimdall2-speaker-cable.php calles for a 18x22awg = (52.9392 ohms per 1,000m) / 18 = 2.941 ohms.That is the equivalent of ~ #9 awg. (a bit less).For a 2m cabl... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. cakyol Your flowchart is funny / wrong.Nice try.Well, the resistance of a conductive wire as copper, is: https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/circuits/Lesson-3/Resistance R = p x L / SWhen p is the constant resistance of the material (cop... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. cooperjack What kind of a joke is this?Are you a sales agent of this firm?Is there any guideline to tell you what cable you need, regardless of what information is required for that?Do you think that one cable for all works?What makes one cab... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. jaybe #6 awg is required.May I please ask, what is the # awg of your current cable?Thanks | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Mr. williewonka Sorry, but none of your reports were on the subject.Speaker cables do have a significance, when use a higher DF Amp.Lets say, above 150.On tube Amp’s or tube alike (McIntosh) the cables are insignificant. As the DF is very low (les... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Mr. kennyc Copper purity: The industry standard for cooper used in electricity is 99.98%All left to improve between the standard cable (99.98%) and the absolute purity (do not exist!) of 100% is 0.02%No matter how much is that cost, or if there i... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. millercarbon Who or what is the Kenjit Society?Google didn't bring up anything relevant. A link could help.As I didn't certified them, I assume it's mutual.Is that like a 3 michelin stars of the speakers cable industrie? | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. jaybe Look at my post, a bit above - posted at: 07-18-2020 10:50pm with plenty of reports that people who tried it, shared their sonic experience with us.It is all taken from a thread of mine in 2018, here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discus... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Mr. justmetoo At the bottom line, all that matters is the resistance of your speaker cable vs. the Amp's DF (Ro).All the descriptions of yours about the three cables, are good for Fri. eve, to tell around the coffee table, or to put asleep a kid.... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Mr. speedbump6I understand about speaker cables more than any other.It was always left to charlatans who has no idea what cables the customers need. The BS around it, went from weird to bizarre. It was a trend, waves of BS and now we are at geo... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Thanks https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm For 15’ (4.57m ~ 5m), and for a DF 100 (106): a #4 awg cable is recommended.The Bi wire of #10 awg (equals to 2x #10 awg in parallel) is: 1 ohms per 1000 ft, each so it equals* to 0.5 ohms for both.... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable I need the required cable length too. The speakers data (Load) is not required.Thanks.DF of 106 is relatively low... |
