| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. Dave_b2The brend is not significant. The cable’s electric characteristics ARE!No cable brend, as respected as they are, do not propose you what you need, by the requirements of your gear.Getting and "Audioquest Rocket 33", or any other is a du... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Mr. vinylshadowFor 8' long and DF of 100 you need a #8 AWG cable.But why 8' if you have two monoblocks? Place them as close as possible to the speakers and run the distance between the pre and the monoblocks with XLR. However, if you stick to th... | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Mr. DillI claimed that I can calculate the speaker cable cross section, by the Amp’s DF and cable length. The speaker (load) has nothing to do in that deal.I still claim the same. Even better. I found that if you go over the board and get even a t... | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? I love this BS...Just take that "recommended" power cable, and use it with your castle.By the time your tea will taste better, it will also sound better.The only thing that needs BI are mechanical or electromechanical components.Copper conductors?... | |
| 3 budget speaker cable choices Mr. bajaedNone of the above!A speaker cable is to be tailored per your Amp's DF and length. That will tell you what should be it's cross section (# AWG).Anything else is a blind shot in the dark. | |
| Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea? Rather han liquidise metal (copper requires 1,084.4°C to melt), go into the most cold and use super conductivity...None is possible nor relevant.But why not go crazy after the snake oil sellers. Let them set our agenda.Let's talk logically:Coppe... | |
| Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea? Copper conductor (cable) do not need any brake in. Just for you, this is a common say of salesperson, when you buy a cable for a lot of $$$ and it sounds just as good (or bad) as your 5$ RadioShack cable. So to make you keep it and not return it, ... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Townshend audioLets talk frankly. Any capacitance on a speaker cable (stand alone, just vs. a measurement equipment), is the fact there are two cables in parallel, for all the length, at a close distance.Such a capacitance can be fixed easily by b... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Cheap add to Townshend cables!Some of the measurement schematics are stolen from others. They got it wrong. Mr. Townshend copied the mistakes. He ends up with C- capacitance. Capacitance is defined between two points. If the speaker cable is a jo... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Capacitance?Let's assume you use an Amp with a DF of 400. It has an output resistance of 8/400=0.02 Ohms.What Capacitance (F) should make an audible change?If you use two separate cables, (Not one that are molding the two lines in a single plastic... | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? NO !Unbalanced Interconnects longer than 1.5m may rouin sound.If you can use balanced lines (XLR) you can go up to 150m, no problem.Speaker cables should be as short as possible. Length can be compensated by cross section. The ratio is linear: len... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Sorry Mr. G'DAY, you are miles from the truth.I also spent much time into speaker cables research & analysis.1. The speaker side is not a part of the analysis. It is only looking into the Amp's output through the cables. 2. The most important ... | |
| Excess speaker wire No excess length!A copper wire resistance equals to Ro (the metal conductivity constant), multiplied by its length in meters and divided by its cross section in square millimeters.The longer the cable the higher is its resistance...You should have... | |
| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? Why no more information: What speakers, what amp? how long are the cables? What placement? (distance from alls?)It may sound dark because you are using the wrong cables!Specify the required information and I'll tell you how to make it work for you. | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I don't buy it! Sorry.Silver (element) conducts by 5% better than Copper. It costs x130 times more! You can reach the 5% conductivity by improving the cross section by 5%. It is chipper and better to flush a $100 bill down the toilet. Less damage,... |
