| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Sorry @sworksone , but if the company was from Iowa, they still would be in a little farmhouse in the middle of no where, and then you wouldn't have needed to be offended, but alas, they are not from Iowa, they are from Nova Scotia. Aren't you sup... | |

| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? @sworksone , I’m not sure what you have against farmers or Nova Scotia but I have a feeling you might have difficulty finding it on a map. You may want to think long and hard on that statement. How did I know it was a little farmhouse in th... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! Congrats man, you’ve just proven surge protectors can’t work. :) You are on your own now, and ignoring the fact that ground and neutral are bonded at the service entrance as well as basic MOV surge protection design. If you want to have those a... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! @erik_squires Typical MOV based surge protectors use the ground as a drain. At high surge voltages they attempt to short to ground and sometimes the neutral as well. Using a GFCI as a 2 to 3 pin adaptor won't create a magical ground path. ... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! Should note however that while GFCI’s are legal for 2 to 3 prong upgrades in old homes most surge protectors won’t work without a true ground. If you have expensive computers or home electronics and want surge protection you should get a ground i... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Never heard of Zavfino before today, and I see many mentioning it. A company with USA in their name, apparently based out of little farmhouse in the middle of no where in Canada, and made somewhere in the world. Definitely leveraging the power of ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Each driver has its own signal processing and power amplifier. This isolates each driver from the drive signals handled by the other drivers, reducing inter-modulation distortion and overdriving problems. Each driver having its own signal pr... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? If you have a speaker that drops down to 2.5 ohms, with an 8 foot speaker cable, going from 18awg to 10awg will increase the level, at that impedance valley, 0.3db, and the damping will go from 24 to 150. Audible? Maybe. If your speaker only drop... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear this opens up the ability for the amps to drive the drivers differently at low levels among other things. The information linked is not stating different operation at low levels. It is stating that the analog portions of the a... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? Are you going to attempt to level match? Blind test? | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , I do appreciate the endorsement, unfortunately some people are far more interested in looking right when on the Internet, than being right. Nothing interferes with that more than someone competent participating, especially when ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , but not frequency polar patterns what could be more important The heat graph I posted is a frequency polar pattern graph. Even the few frequency polar patterns I’ve seen with speakers rarely show anything in the back of the... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 for reasons only known to you you have issues with me. Feel free to direct message me and rant all you want. Be respectful and don’t make your issue everyone else’s issue as you are doing. It is disrespectful to everyone else here. Only you... | |
