| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Good cables will let your components perform at their best. Poor quality cables will hamper their performance. Most "high-end" cables are ridiculously overpriced and while they will, no doubt, do a good job, most are a hype-driven rip off. You c... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables There are two types of IEC 60958 standard AES EBU non-optical cables: Type I Balanced: 3-conductor, 110-ohm twisted pair cabling, XLR connectors, used in professional installations (AES3 standard). Type II Unbalanced: 2-conductor, 75-ohm coaxial c... | |

| XLR to RCA conversion Ground loop. Power amp should have grounded AC. Lift ground to the preamp. Use only unbalanced RCA interconnects. Unshielded twisted pair is best, by far. Unless the system is balanced in and out, there is no advantage to a balance XLR cable. No ... | |
| 50 ways to leave your lover What passes for dazzling technique in rock is no big deal for a competent jazz drummer. The way rock drummers hold their sticks limits the precision and speed with which they play. Loud, louder, and loudest. "50 Ways" was not that sort of tune, bu... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp Preamp has controls, sometimes a phono stage, sends line level. Power amp takes line level and ramps it up to speaker level. You need both, though they may be combined in one chassis (integrated amplifier). | |
| Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage Keep it simple: Ultra-low capacitance but shielded RCA terminated cables, the shorter, the better - never longer than one meter. And an external chassis ground cable, as heavy as practical for minimal resistance at the ground plane. Anything else... | |
| RCA versus XLR interconnects Simple answer - Two meters or shorter, use unbalanced (RCA) cables. The common mode rejection which makes balanced line and mic cables suitable for long distances is not an advantage here. If anything, it is a disadvantage, requiring an additiona... | |

| Does a weave of cables really make a difference? No. But a simple twisted pair, or braided cable like the unimposing Kimber PBJ can be superior to any coaxially shielded cable except where there is serious RF interference. When that the twisted pair is pure solid core silver soft temper wire i... | |
