| AES/EBU cable shootout Is there any references that details that there is effectively error correction in the AES/EBU and USB for low latency application such as audio? From my search it appears that a defective packet sent can be identified but it is just dropped and n... | |
| Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket Your cables will still work, they simply will be brighter than what they used to be because the oxidation is a bad conductor and will shift the tonal response towards a litz wire configuration with is brighter than the equivalent configuration whe... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Changing the gauge, will change the tonal response, larger diameter will shift the tonal response towards the low end and vice-versa. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k Since your system is centered around litz type cable, most any cable should move the tonal response of your system toward the mid or the lows as the small gauge of the litz wire provide a more linear resistance than a larger gauge conductor witch ... | |
| Inter Connects - What I know and don't know Objectively from my empirical assumptions : -silver wire conduct better than copper (7% more) -> better sound -OCC produces wires with larger crystals and less boundaries between crystals ->increase in sound quality -Silver plated wire t... | |
| Does the length of the Cable matter? All cables are tone control by nature, longer cables will have more effect. Maybe the first cable you will try will not be satisfactory. A shielded cable may affect the top end from its capacitance and at this length an unshielded cable may pickup... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. If you like detailed sound search for cables with air in the dielectric. | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? Cables are both additive and subtractive. Additive in that as a piece of wire it act as an antenna and pick up noise and add it to the signal chain. Cables are also subtractive because they have a resistance. The fact that resistance is different ... | |
| Bi-Wire Cables under $350 (Used or New) Have a look at Duelund cables, combined them for bi-wire, the tinned copper they are made of wont add any brightness but the cotton covering will provide much more details than the plastic covering of you basic cables | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Interesting that in the Mega Test on speaker cable revealed that the preferred cables had a more linear capacitance. Capacitance has allays been marked as constant and measured at high frequency, In the test, it is shown as somewhat erratic at t... | |
| Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire Normally the larger the conductor, the more emphasis is made on the low end and vice-versa for smaller conductor. One has to experiment to fin the synergy, ie what gauge of cable to used between each component to achieve the right tonality. If yo... | |
| Cable burn in A cable is a mechanical system that needs burn-in. Every material subject to an electrical field creates a dipole. For non conducting material this dipole is at the atom level so that electrons are more to the side of nucleus that randomly around.... | |
| Cables to settle brightness Wires are tone control, there is not way around it, its just the physics of cables. To tame the brightness try to find some cables that have conductors of larger diameter than the cables your are using. | |
| Duelund shielding I didn't try it with Duelund cables but I DIY speaker cables with similar construction and providing a shield improvement the sound quality (mostly blackness and image). The shield having equivalent gauge is used as the ground lead. The added capa... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids My experience would suggest to try interconnect made with 20 awg conductors, preferably OCC copper, The larger the diameter of the conductors in the cable, the more emphasis will be put on the low end compared to the rest of the bandwidth, this mi... |
