| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need As in any other cable. No particular significance of any type, at Audio freq. The only characteristics I found significant, is the cable resistance vs the Amp's DF. It works all the way up to the calculated value (improves sound) but do not improv... | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? Mr. steve 59Your Hegel H360 has a DF of >4000! for 7ft length, you need 16 times (in parallel) #0 AWG cable. Not very likely you do it. but you may...Any way rather than look for some branded #12 AWG or less thick cable, do yourself a favor and... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. eichlerera I'm sorry to kill your impression of skin effect on Audio frequencies.The figure (at the AWG table) refers to full power at x frequency.An other way to look at that, is that thin cables have low current capacity at DC, so it is ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. eichlereraFor DF=50 and length of 6 feet (2 m), you need a #16 AWG.1. No need for speakers impedance. They are not in this game (speaker cable).2. DF=5 is relatively low. It was common (40~) at Japanese amps and receivers of the 70's. | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! The sweet secret is in the cross section: 4 times #11 AWG = 1 times #5 AWG.But it is just part of the story. the other part is:1. Your Amp's DF figure2. The length.I made a pair of 3m long, #0 AWG cable set for $1,000 US.Their price is a bit sharp... | |
| Speaker cables Mid High end The cable you need is up to the length and Amp's Df (=160).For 9 feet / 2.5 m you need an 6 AWG thick cable.It is irrelevant who makes it.If the length is longer than 9', so should the AWG get smaller (thicker cable).For such a cable (with those c... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. vinylshadow There is a post in my mailbox, that is missing here. For a reason...?1. Yes, I know Jeff Rowland.2. No, I didn't hear your model playing.3. I never tend to say if DF of a 100 is good or bad. It is relatively low for power amps. ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. dillI've heard that there are people, that all there purpose in life, is to be a bad example. You fit quite well into that category.Your place must be in politics. Audio is kind of small for you. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. ebmThanks. All you have to say on the subject, is that I had typo?It's not much from your side to bring to this table.Just for the record, some others already paid attention and made this remark B4.Are you the guy who mock those who stutter ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. kijankI didn’t defined what DF is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor"Only the resistive part of the loudspeaker impedance is used. The amplifier output impedance is also assumed to be totally resistive". Loudspeaker impedance is giv... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. Dave_b2 Why talking when you can walk down to the field and play it?Try this out, and than see.You are kind of having an Anti-approach, while never gave it a try. Why not?It will cost you nickels compared to other fancy cables, or any other ch... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. vinylshadow The DF is a given, once you purchase your Amp. You can look for a better, or let it be as is. DF is defined as the ratio (pure number) between the constant, pure resistive value of 8 ohms of a speaker load, divided by the Amp’s out... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. tweak_1The Wire World website information is irrelevant. Use an OFC cable that is flexible enough, with lots of thin strands, would be the best. For length: you need to say. The thickness for such length, is set by the Amp's DF spec.All tricks... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. Dave_b2 MIT use a small box along the cable. that has some passive components.Look at it is some filter, if not a gimmick to charge you and doe nothing!I opened once an MIT cable, they use HF antenna cables, with shield and solid middle wir... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. vinylshadow The relation of a copper conductor (cable, wire) is:R = ro x L (m) / S (sq. mm)When R is the resistance (in Ohms), ro is the copper constant conductivity value,L is the length in meters and S is the cross section in square milli... |
