| Class D Amps Cable matter?? Mlapenta - an exceptional cable in your price range is the gZero3 from KLE Innovations.They are exceptionally good at defeating EMI/RFI and they sound amazing.I use their cables throughout my system, including their digital spdif.Take a look at th... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Danoroo - some very wise advice from the posters above.Cables are fickle and perhaps the most difficult to attain success with.I have tried lots of cables with differing architectures and also had some amazing opportunities to get to my current ca... | |
| classe ca 200 running too hot? High capacitance speaker cables can cause some SS amps to oscilate. This can cause them to heat up or even blow.Look for speaker cables with a capacitance of around 35pf/meter or less.Van den Hul d352 is one such cable as well as NAIM NAC A5 (the ... | |
| interconnects 68Pete - you have received a wealth of good info from various posters - Almag's observations should be of particular interest and made note of.A practice I have always adopted is to try to ensure the best cables are in place in the following order... | |
| Does a Good 20 amp cable Make a Difference Zy - if I had your investment in Shuyata products I would personally keep with them.The Black Mamba HC CX would be a good choice for outlet to the power filter link and from the power filter to your ampYou could try buying just one to start with a... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Zd - thanks for that feedback. I think it just goes to show that one amp in different environments can sound very different.However - I am the first to admit that the NAIM can be very finicky - they seem to work well with their own components/spea... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Zd - to quote you..."Surprising, because it didn't sound like one"what about the 5i made you feel it was active?I bought the 5i because of it's sound, and at that time I didn't even know it had a passive front end.I seem to like the sound of the l... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Zd - The 5 had Active, but the 5i(italics) had a PassiveFrom the NAIM forum...NAIT 5 (active) preamp: • electronic switching• buffered resistor ladder volume control• through-hole construction• fully isolated from power amp ("split")• six DIN-5 in... | |
| Cables more hype than value? ZD542 and Mitch - I can only speak to what has transpired in my system, here goes...A few years back I purchased a NAIM 5i integrated amp - mainly because it was the one amp that impressed me under around $6k and since my budget was much less it w... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Mitch2 - I used NAIM as an example because their customers seem to be extremely loyal and believe NAIM can do no wrong.I was on their Forum for a while and it seemed that anyone that even dared to mention another brand would be labelled a heretic ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Macdad - the investment in developing cable architectures, choosing a wire and plugs, spec-ing you own cable designs is significant and a whole different science compared to circuits and quality parts.I asked a manufacturer the same question and h... | |

| A-B testing of cables Thanks Al - Nicely putAbsolutely, the circuit has to be "complete" for it to work. I guess my problem is the "vision" people tend to get in their minds that an actual return signal flows in the neutral side.But if the neutral side of all component... | |
| A-B testing of cables Gorquin - since, and I quote...."I'm open to learn something proven by science"I'll share some of my experiences....- I was installing a new light fixture in the hallway that employs a two-way switch - i.e. you can turn on/off from either end- to ... |
