It can make a change in your feelings...Let's say you was kind enough to pay for a power cable US $ 1,000.-That's a lot of money for a power cable. US $ 5,000.- is even more.Let's stay with the $ 1,000.- cable.So you paid for it, connected it and:... | |

| Cable droop Power amps are usually placed at the bottom of the equipment rack.Floor standing speakers, have their binding post at the bottom.What droop?If you have such a problem, on the Amp side, you may place a plate (Aluminum or wood), drill a hole at the ... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. rilbr Why do you say: " The trouble is no set of measurements directly tells the consumer how well the cable will sound"?Please say I don't know about such measurements.It's even worst, as you do not know what is it that makes one cable soun... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. douglas_schroeder Don't look far... How to select a good Speaker Cable Try it. It works. | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. teo_audio Unfortunately, the article you linked to, is a lot of none relevant BS.I lost it when I came across the "burn in". The only explanation for that with a copper cable is that it doesn’t sound good, and the salesman try to postpone the ... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. ieales You claim that the Audio industry and Audio Testing (Audio Precision) as well as Wikipedia, are all Rubbish.You know better?For the sake of this endless argument, what is your explanation to the difference in sound with different speak... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? In Electronics, sometimes the analysis ignore a part, to simplify the circuit and better understand. The same with the next level: System.With that approach, there are 3 elements in that loop:Amp (output stage),Speaker cables (two),Speaker.As long... | |

| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. iealesI know music is AC. Those who claimed that their cables are directional don't! What a shame...On the analysis, when looking from the Speaker side, back into the Amp's output, through the cables - the Speakers are insignificunt. They are ... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. auxinputIt is no religion. It is science. Once you will be able to tell the difference between the two, and be willing to try it (religiose won't, scientist would!) you will no longer stand in the shade and go against everything you don't kn... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. iealesYou are so wrong! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor DF is per definition: "Only the resistive part of the loudspeaker impedance is used. The amplifier output impedance is also assumed to be totally resistive". You want to... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Mr. scar972My say is rock solid. It was tested many times, in person, with a test group in 2018 on Audiogon, and it is still alive on a new thread. Last Sat. I completed a set of cables, #0 AWG / 3m long. I had a demo on Tue. with some Amps: A loc... | |
| Speaker cable for focal scala utopia I'm am offering you a deal of your life:Tell me what is the Damping Factor (DF) of your Amp. and what length do you need the cables to be.I'll calculate the cable (thickness or AWG).The cable I'll recommend, will prevail any cable at the market, e... |
