| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers UPDATE:I found a successful solution!Remember those foam pads? They came from some electrical component shipping packing. They're like EVA craft foam sheets. Anyway, I discovered that if I sandwiched the cables between two sheets and used a rubb... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @millercarbon Yup. I lucked out in that I had the financial option to explore my idea. I used to be relegated to only being able to afford a $300 dollar cable, maximum. Which did improve sound, but only by small steps, but a step none the less. ... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @Millercarbon Indeed. I should move along..... ;)@ghasley Well, the interesting thing is, folks would say that my spending 10 times the value of the speaker system on cables and power distributors was ill-advisable, but these speakers wouldn't s... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @millercarbon I wonder if there are different qualities to the use of rubber bands. Whilst awaiting my bag of rubber bands, I had two wide rubber bands from a bunch of asparagus. I tried using those and they not only didn't impact the vibrations... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @peguinpowerI was thinking the other day that if these "self appointed guardians of audio" aren't able to hear a difference between cables, how are they suddenly capable of hearing the difference between speakers or amps or pre-amps or phonograph ... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley Ok, I will try that out when I get the putty in.Correct, one speaker has the amp, the other is passive. The vibration also occurs on the passive, but very minimal.I have the volume on the speaker set to 2/3s and half-way on the subwoofer... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @ghasley Ordered, should be here tomorrow.Can you give me some insight on where to apply and how much?Is this applied externally? Such as on the screw hole from the outside, then insert the screw. Or is it internal, put the putty behind the plat... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @millercarbon I had these on "risers" on the desk. Are you saying that if I suspend the cables on a stretched rubberband, it will absorb the vibration? I think I accomplish that. | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @tomic601 " is that better or just different? "I am not following the context here. Are you referring to the change in angle?@ghasley Where does one obtain this putty? And yes, the Audioengine A2+ are extremely well engineered. :) I think they'... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @millercarbon I be darned! Getting the cables as close to a 45 degree angle from its connector certainly diminishes the vibration and stops the vibration from continuing down the cable! O_O. Thanks! The power cable was the easiest to orient at 45... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @tomic601 I have discovered it also happens on the Passive speaker as well. So it seems to me more indicative of the driver. However, the amp plate is what is vibrating and not the entire cabinet, which is interesting. @ghasleyI hadn't considered... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @millercarbon I would be scared to bend the wire. It's silver and I am not wholly certain how they crimped or soldered the connectors.Would foam pads inserted between the connectors absorb some of the vibration? I did a small experiment with a f... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Youtube bandwidth limits the audio to 56-165 kbps AAC or in an MP4 container regardless if your video is 1080p or 4K. Unfortunately, Youtube isn't a reliable method for testing sound quality anyway. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @cd318 " Yes, what happened to the cable null test?Or the cable measurement comparison?Or the joined coat hanger comparison? "Why is it you are incapable of running these tests or comparisons yourself? Why is it someone else's responsibility to ... |
