| Swiss cables What's wrong with you guys?A speaker cable is about a conductor (most likely OFC copper) with a given length and diameter (Cross section, or AWG).This may have some endings: banana plugs, spades...WTF do you care where this cable is coming from?Sw... | |
| Speaker cables for Sonus Faber Olympica II Speaker cables should not be stretched. The Amp's DF and the cable length determine the speaker cable AWG. NOT the speaker!Tell me what is your power Amp's DF and I'll calculate you the thickness(AWG) required. You can look for a cable that thick ... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Mr. felixa Skin effect in audio, is about misunderstanding of the fenomena. The Skin effect, is mostly about two criteria that do not apply to speaker cables:1. High power at high (audio high) Fr. with full power BW. In Audio, the last two octa... | |
| has anyone tried chinese cables? Mr. jawfxr Your Amps have a DF of 1,000. That's a lot.As you use monoblocks, they can be located very close to the speakers.If I would be in your shoes, I would look for two pairs of 4" copper solid bars (round) and stuck it into the binding po... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Well, you are guessing! Tire pressure at your car wheels are calculated and given (on the drivers door side, as STD.)Your speaker cables should be the same. It's not that complicated...Tell me the Amp's DF and length required, I'll calculate it fo... | |
| has anyone tried chinese cables? HiWhen I look at your post, I wonder what properties do Chinese cables have, that others don't?Till now, most went after cables with a say:Ultra pure copper, Directional wire, Silver, Bi wire, Creo treated, Hex structure, or pure snake oil. No one... | |
| Use different speaker cables vs same cables when bi-amp It is Bi wire and not Bi Amp. The cross remain inside the speaker! Bi wire is an urban myth, that was very common in the 90's. A single wire of the same # AWG as the sum of the two in the Bi wire, would do better. Bi wire is a way to make the cabl... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? #24 AWG seems to be thin. 5m is long.Front or rear speakers?to get the front speakers cable thickness I need your Amp's Damping Factor (DF).Then I can calculate the thickness (AWG) with the 5m length. | |
| How are phono cables different (related to hum issue)? HiA phono cable shall have an additional GND wire with a spade, to connect to a screw on the Amp's side. Ordinary RCA to RCA may have the hum noise problem you say you have.The extra GND wire is essential. | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA Digital interface of SPDIF signal is of a low Fr. nature. It may go up to 48KS/Sec, or more like 44.1KS/Sec with home equipment.As so, cable impedance, ending connectors etc' are of less significance.When cable do make a difference, is mostly due ... | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA "How good it sounds depends on my seats..."Mr. dannad, if your home sound system sounds better than live, with RC, SACD etc’., you need to find better seats! | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA "I can’t think of any reason why perfect..." artificial recorded sound, won’t sound as good or even better than the original.Think better. Nothing in the audio equipment industry, sounds as good as a real musical instrument playing live. Practical... | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA Mr. doodleCongratulations. you have a room with better acoustics than the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas. Because no matter how the SACD sound engineer set the recording, with room correction, it is still playing in your room, where the sizes ... |
