| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? If bi-wiring, how would these capacitance numbers work...simply additive? or something else??Parallel doubles capacitance and halves inductance and resistance.Bi-wiring separates the load into two parts. Response for each part differs from a singl... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Zip Cord is ~15pF/ft, Belden 1311A ~22pF/ft so 150 to 220pF for 10' is 'normal'. Some Goertz is 100 times as much and that is high. | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies When ripping on a PC, the disk can be read as many times as necessary to get a parity match. If the disc surface has been abused, this could result in a more accurate file.I've heard disks burned on the mastering converter, CD test pressings and t... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @almarg Hi Al,good spotting. ~<|:-/Actually, I've never seen the formula Z = ( L / C )^0.5. Where does it originate?1) 25 foot length as that is what was shown on the MI/AG site in Fig 4. 3) I mistyped. Conceptually, the cable LR are in series ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable If it all sounded the same, we'd have stopped with Edison's phonograph. Reductio ad absurdum.The salient point is that everything interacts. To deny otherwise is counterintuitive. Some are more sensitive to some interactions than others. Some need... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @almarg I’ve never used (L/C)^0.5.I conceptualize cables as a (SERIES LR with PARALLEL C) x Length. First sum the LR impedances and then add the inverse of the LR sum to the inverse of the C impedance. Z=1/(1/(ZL+ZR)+1/ZC) * Length. It's actually ... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Adding a network to an amplifier to correct for a cable is a tailspin, just adding eq to eq.I’d like to see how Goertz calculates a Z of 4 or 8Ω at audio frequencies from their geometry. SS amplifier outputs are a tiny fraction of 8Ω which is what... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @geoffkait Great Cable Debate¿Que? There is no debate. Cables are system dependent.Quoting Gareis "Speakers vary by design so their “back EMF” load into amplifiers varies. Amplifiers of differing design react to the back-EMF differently, and the o... | |

| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @bdp24 +1 for Galen Gareis articles @ Copper.Can’t wait for the speaker cable article.His papers are what prompted me to do the simulations.For the interested, Cable articles are available @ https://www.psaudio.com/copper-magazine/ Issues 48-50, 5... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @shadorne Poorly designed and poorly matched gear will be affected audibly by the slight impedance of a cable. High fidelity gear will not.Only AFTER they repeal the laws of physics. The better the gear, the easier it is to 'hear' cables as maski... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Some might find this Cable Snake Oil Antidote interesting with respect to LRC, the signal and the system.Cables affect the sound and the effect is system dependent.Another's opinion on a cable in a vastly different system may not be valid.@geoffka... | |

| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? You may want to read Winter Blues for some of the reasons why properly function system can vary. Home HiFi is way more variable than most think.An additional variable people seldom consider is the playback level. Some program has a level at which ... |
