| Cable Costs Relative to System Baam23f"Ok, cables do sound different to you, how come no one talks aout written proof and measurements? In my system expensive transparent cables were compared to off the shelves once. To me they sounded the same and measured the same." Well, the... | |
| Highest component/cable ratio? He`s right. Solid core copper, signalhalves separated. Effective horn-systems goes with thin thread, more hungry passive systems need (much) thicker thread. (thick starts at 10awg;) | |
| Highest component/cable ratio? After years of ultimate DIY speakerdesigning I`ve come upon a few discoverys, cables included. It`s years since I concidered replacing anything in my system now, even if I know the digital-trafo could be uppgraded by a custom built one. Socalled h... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? Well, if you intend to terminate two five-way speakers only by using a pair of jumpers you might think of redoing your math:P The dynamic loss in passive speaker-cables/filter are dramatically underrated. About 98.37% off the loss could be avoided... | |
| Creative Cabling for Bass Quality Want to improve bass performance? Get some thick* solid copper and make up some solid speakercables. *thick begins at 10awg;) Be aware that the copper needs to be massages at high power level to open up, one hour of massage does alot. | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? " What is your technical discipline and/or expertise to make such a misguided statement?" If you haven`t realised this before I`m afraid I can`t help you mister, too bad. One of the rasons why I know is because I`m bright enough to understand wha... | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Transperants powercables is in my opinion the only good cables they make. Mybe the second best cable I`ve heard, next to my solid ones. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... It`s horrible to see folks adding ice into fine single malt :P | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs The quality of the powercord will determ the purity and the momental capasity of the current led into the powersupply. Add ing more momental capasity will give a stronger bottom by increasing dynamics. That won`t in any way decrease top-end qualit... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? "An old friend, who is an MIT insider, once told me that Bruce Brissen says speaker cables needs to be at least 8 ft to propigate a solid bass wave. " Couldn`t be more wrong, but that doesn`t co me as a surprise. Most cable-designers have no clue ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Definetly my own DIY`s ;P | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 64 Ford Fairlane 500 w. Concorde amp from 79 | |
| What power cord for BAT VK-300x SE integrated? You can`t tune your amp that much by changing poiwercords, even if a good cord will improve dynamics and clean up soundstage. If you want a cleaner top, what other cables do you use? All ic`s and speakercables take away some dynamics & detail... | |
| Power Cable upgrade for Sonic Frontiers Power 3 ? One of the greatest uppgrades I`ve done (and it`s been a few) is making DIY-powercables from a shieded solid-core outdoor cable. Originally made up for my friends Jadis-blocks, but what a jaw-drop we got after putting them on his CD-combo when "du... | |
| Copper foil Foils is lowsy leaders compared to thicker circular or other shapes. Might look exotic but ruins soundquality used as cables. Foil conductors on the other hand gives a clean sound, and many seems to mix that up not realising why they sound cleaner. |
