The audiophiles hearing only approach Most hobbies involved equipment, involves knowledge. Flying or yachting needs license and if you don't study you put your life in danger. But it is also common that photography involve classes to get the ba...

Mr. grannnyring Why do you say your word in plural and not in singular? The best would be if everyone would make that decision for himself. Even not by listening to a dealer! You try to describe the audio hobby and the system building as a chaotic...

Making choices with setting a sound system by hearing. Some components shall be selected with the ears. Like the speakers. Some components shall not! Like the speaker cables. The roll of speaker cables in a sound system is not to tweak the sound. ...

Your cables? Who calculated their gauge by your equipment and length?Who told you what is beneath that nylon net and thick plastic isolation?What are your cable electrical characteristics?You think that by a say you can win a technical debate, bu...

This thread has three angles: The cables industry: Doing cables and sale them, do not understand the product we need and keep us in the dark with urban myths. They can keep the situation as is: Good for them. Change the way they do cables: Good...

I may visit any lounge and as many I wish. I never in my life sold a cable. My story and claim is the same. Nothing had changed. I do disparage an industry (speaker cables) that has no idea of what they are doing, why one cable is better than an...

Mr. glupson Gentlemen don't argue about facts and feelings. So as a fact, 1.5% THD is not good. If someone likes it – Shall it be. Audio as a concept has two ways to go: The first would take the challenge to try reproducing the source as clo...

Mr. stevecham Your post is way off the subject and your attitude is rude. But I'll clear a few facts about your Manley Neo 250 with your speakers. https://www.manley.com/hifi/n250/ At a DF of 14.8 / 17.2 (output resistance = 0.5 Ohms) and a 4 ...

Mr. flapjack What could be better than a dual purpose cable? If you would read my thread, you could already know that tube amplification have a very low DF, so you could practically borrow your line phone cable and use it for your speakers. I...

Mr. glupson DF is an amplifier design and making matter that may advertised whatever they felt its right. The high DF is all about controlling the speaker. In electronics, the common idea about it is: the more the better. (Just the opposite of...

Mr. pesky_wabbit I would like to think that the cables industry will catch up and fix the wrong, to get things done properly. Not a big deal. It is not that all the sudden we won't need cables any more. We just need a different type of cable to...

Mr. stevecham Why do you come back with a say of DF when you own a Manley NEO 250 with 1.5% THD and a DF of 14.8! https://www.manley.com/hifi/n250/ None of this thread is relevant in your case. So what is your goal in your last post? I thought... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Mr. stevecham It is not me to invent DF or plant it into your amplifier you already own. If your DF is achieved by feedback, it is the amplifier designer and maker's choice and not mine. This thread is not about modifying a given amplifier's DF...

For those who are worried of a speaker cables impedance (none resistance values, of capacitance and inductance, in addition to the resistance): Capacitance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor#Parallel-plate_model The Parallel-plate model,...

Mr. han_n At the time you were looking into the M1, did you know of FM Acoustics? They are also Swiss made and have some excellent stuff.
