| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Dielectric constant of Teflon is about 2. Vacuum has dielectric constant of 1. Yes, Teflon will slow down electromagnetic wave. Insulator will slow down electromagnetic wave by amount based on its ability to store energy - Permittivity. Dielectric... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geoffkait, electric charge still travels back and forth inside of the wire between terminals hence skin effect still applies. It starts for the copper at 20kHz at about gauge 18. Al was only explaining difference between electric charge travell... | |

| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies Shielded audio fuses? That has to sound wonderful - even term "Shielded Audio Fuse" sounds wonderful. | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies AFAIK, Graphene was invented as a remedy againts rheumatism and psoriasis. Oh wait, that was snake oil. My bad.Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, conducts well in temperatures close to absolute zero and can be used as zero gap semiconduc... | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies Coiled wire - not coiled cable. Individual straight wire already has inductance. Coiling just increases amount of it. Coiling speaker cable increases inductance for common mode but not for differential signals. For differential signals inductan... | |
| Shotgun with different cables Even if there was sound basis into technically deduced drawbacks it would still be advisable to let theory be theory, and let ones ears be the final judge. Why drawbacks? It can be beneficial to use different wires. It is done in internal b... | |
| Need Help Ripping My CD Collection You can rip just one CD you want to listen to at given moment. You can start playback just after ripping first song. That way you'll eventually rip all of them and it won't be a huge chore. | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Perceived loudness change can be calculated as:k^(1/3.5) where k is a ratio of powers.(500/400)^(1/3.5) = 1.066 (6.6% increase).I doubt that you can hear that. You want "better". If you need more sensitivity you will be 2.03dB "better" with ... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Assumption here is that thin wires will somehow change bass-treble balance reducing bass because of higher bass currents. I'm not sure it is true. Voltage divider will still be the same for all speakers - bass/midrange/tweeter as long as speake... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Gauge 22 resistance is about 0.016 ohm/ft. Your cable is 8 ft making it 8ft + 8ft =16ft. 16 x 0.016 ohm = 0.26ohm. Assuming 4ohm speaker it will make 4/(4+0.26) = 0.94. It means about 6% voltage drop resulting in about 12% power loss. This ... | |
| Toslink or Coaxial from Bluesound Vault 2 to external DAC? It is system dependent - what works for him might not work for you. Toslink doesn't make ground loops and is free from electrical noise pickup or reflections in the cable, but is sensitive to system noise because transitions are slow. Slow transi... | |
| What's the best (or is there a "best") DAC input to use? You're welcome. At the beginning USB was used as synchronous meaning D/A converter clock was derived from unstable computer data rate (to avoid loosing or gaining too many samples). Async USB should be better.Be careful with "better" transports.... | |
| What's the best (or is there a "best") DAC input to use? USB theoretically should be the best as long as it is asynchronous. As name suggest D/A converter clock is completely independent from the computer. Data is sent in chunks (frames) while DAC sends back signal "Buffer over/under-flow" used by comp... | |
| What kind of controller are you using for your Hi-Fi music system? I've tried on 2.4GHz and it worked poorly. Not only that real number of channels is limited to 4 (since each channel is at least 3 channels wide), but also microwave works at the same frequency (exact frequency of one of the channels). When micro... |
