| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Power cords:Some Audio components have a poor AC line filtering.

As so, they invented as many "Urban Legends" to Differentiate their product over others, or penetrate the market if new.The ONLY thing that matters is t... | |

| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. djones51It's getting a bit annoying... If you are not going to bather with my idea, why do you keep nudging on endless errores issues? Most Amp's on the market will not deal with a load as low as 1 ohm and will shut down. For most 8 ohms ... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. grm May I contribute my 2 cents to your happiness?1. What Amp. do you use (more as what is it’s DF)?2. Bi wire is a way to connect two relatively thinner wires instead of one thicker. On Spice (SW) analysis, the results of connecting one cable... | |

| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. djones51 I stand behind my calculations. Rather than do a comparison of the difference (R #10 awg - R #0 awg), Do R #10 awg / R #0 awg.The ratio is 1:10your DF 700 Ro is not correct: 8/700 = 0.0114 or 0.011 ohms, rounded.It is significant.J... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. twoleftears Not all amps and length call for a #0. It may go less, but also more!Your link to Amazon is a good start. Some did it in 2018 and here is what they had reported:1). Pass Lab 250.5 with Magnepan III's. I replaced DIY 5 foot 16 AW... | |
