cable dielectric cause of artificial sound
Steve,It seems our point of view is different, you're looking at it from the technical side, mine is from an audiophile talking about audiophile cable.Some of you sound like many of the electrical types I've talked to where everything has to be pr... 
cable dielectric cause of artificial sound
Steve,In the world of audiophile where isolation cones, cable lifters, contact enhancers are used, a oxidized conductor would not go over well. Audiophiles will pay hundreds to thousands for a pair of cable where copper used are of 5 nines to 6 ni... 
Cable for my amp.
20amp IEC connectors are rectangle, 15amp are sort of triangle with one corner flatten off. Look at the shape of the opening where the power cord is connected to your amp will give the answer. 15amp IEC connector will not fit into a 20amp.Do a Goo... 
cable dielectric cause of artificial sound
Agree, audiophiles are often too critical with minor details, but oxidation which occurs at the surface of a conductor must be taken seriously. Electrical signal tends to travel at the surface of a conductor, NOT the center of a conductor as some ... 
Analytical, revealing COPPER w/
I second the XLO.Extremely fast, detailed, and will not high any flaws. It's almost silver like.Scar 
cable dielectric cause of artificial sound
I agree with Tplavas.The cable geometry makes more of a difference in sound than dielectric types (if we're just counting the big 3: Teflon/PTFE, Polyethylene, cotton). Air is the best dielectric but difficult to manufacture successfully because c... 
Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp
Power cable for CDP makes a big audible difference in how your system sound, in many cases even more so than cords for amplifiers. The important thing is knowing what you're trying to achieve with your system. Are you wanting more warmth and smoot... 
Burr Brown vs. Wolfson dacs.....
Sony ES players uses Burr-Brown DAC's.My sony scd-c555es which uses BB.. has a very detailed sound that is quick, and accurate, maybe a tad thin sounding. Not laidback or warm sounding with my B&W's. The DAC is important but also it depends on...
