| Is a balanced XLR cable inherently less critical than a single ended RCA one? Yes, balanced cables do make a difference. And, each one has its own signature sound. As you progress up the ladder of better and more sensitive equipment the differences in cable is apparent.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Thanks grannyring for the additional information. Since I have already ordered the materials I will try a single run first. Perhaps later I will try the dual runs.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Interesting, I may try my hand on the double helix method grannyring refers to.But, then I also agree with auxinput comments about using too thick of wire aggregate. Thus my original question.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Mitch2,Thank you for that information.Nonoise, Yes I believe using oversized tubing is a plus.grannyring,I already ordered 60 feet of .9999 20 gauge soft silver wire along with oversized PTFE tubing. To keep the cost down, can I also then add 60 ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? grannyring,Thank you for chiming in. I don't understand why doubling up the cable is better than just using a heavier gauge wire? And, I need 10 foot lengths.ozzy | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables I must say Bob's Cerious Matrix cables are awesome! I have been trying to find a better cable and the Matrix always are the best!ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? twoleftears,Thanks for that info. I have tried Duelund wire, and although its good , soft solid .9999 silver wire is better. At least IMHO.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Thank's for the help. I'll check out that information.I guess I like the Xhadow XLR's because they use screw connections, thus eliminating solder.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? kijanki, audio2design,You guys really know your stuff. Thank you for that very helpful information. So for now, the plan is to use 20 gauge soft .9999 solid silver wire with oversized PTFE tubing and braiding the cable slightly. I was thinking of ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? twoleftears,Thanks for the link. It will come in handy.Perhaps I missed it, but it's still not clear to me how various gauges affect the sound.ozzy | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Thank you for the response. I am thinking the longer the interconnect the thicker the gauge should be. That's why I am considering using 20 gauge for a 10 foot run. I believe that should lower the resistance / capacitance. But, thinner wire may h... | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? Right you are tvad. So long rca interconnects are not the solution. But I don't like using long speaker cables either.ozzy | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? I am using long balanced interconnects (3M) and very short speaker cables to my mono blocks. This arrangement has proven to me to be the best in sound quality.ozzy | |
| XLR balanced cables, best bang for t ht e buck? Just wonderin' if the cable gauge used within the XLR matters. ozzy | |
| Niagara 1200 and subwoofers For what it is worth now, I plug my tube mono blocks directly into my Niagara 7000. I also for a time, had my JL Fathoms F-113 plugged into the same Niagara. But since I have 3 dedicated circuits I now plug the Fathoms into a Niagara 1200 on a dif... |
