| How Big of a Difference? @holmz re: All I know for sure is that the specs which are rated in terms of “per foot” or “per meter”, seem to favour using monoblocks close to the speaker. That is certainly correct for cables that use more commonly adopted cable geometries... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz let’s start with About 11-12% of the time the mains voltage is too low to pulse any current into the power supply (Assuming that the rail is at ~28V). The only point in time where electrical energy does NOT flow is at that point in time... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz - lets start be looking at the process at different points in the audio system At the speaker the power required to satisfy the volume level selected has two components - voltage, and the current drawn, which is a product of the speaker... | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? Contact Jeff at Audiomods - he made a mounting plate for the arm a friend of mine ordered from him for a similar turntable His arms are spectacular as well Regards | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @mbolek - a really simple cable geometry that also performs very well, uses a Ribbon geometry Two Teflon tubes held apart using some sort of tape the brown paper tape used for parcels is quite good The tubes should be spaced at least... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @johnnycamp5 - I hope the following provides answers to your questions I always wondered about the improvements from cables but never (not yet) went down that road. My biggest unanswered questions are on “power cables” Are these more like a ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @ozzy - that could be due to the insulation - larger wires have thicker insulation the greater the amount of insulation the greater the dielectric impact resulting in distortion also larger wires have a larger surface area - again exacerbat... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @ozzy - RE: I don’t understand why doubling up the cable is better than just using a heavier gauge wire? Mainly because the resistance of the "signal conductor" is halved So why not 3, or 4 or 6 wires? wouldn’t that improve performance ? ... | |
| Rega P9 or VPI Classic1 - Which would you choose?? @billandsol - I’m Not a fan of Rega - so out of the two I would go with the VPI, but even that has some design deficiencies, despite the +ve feedback from owners. My preference (if I were buying) is Music Hall - they are very well designed and do... | |
| Skogrand Cables? I like their website because it details the important features - like Solid UP-OCC wire for fast dynamic performance low dielectric constant - for clarity and details Conductor spacing cable geometry - for low noise floor These are the thin... | |
| How Big of a Difference? YES - The power cords are definitely worth upgrading ! Regards - Steve | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers I’m a fan of the single cable run with jumpers - but not just those silly little jumpers that some with the speakers You need to make your own jumpers using 0.5 meter of 2 x 18 gauge UP-OCC solid copper from VH Audio FOR EACH JUMPER! KLE Inn... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @oedstrom11 - your Schiit components are much better than most people realize - they just need very good cables! The Amazon XLR are fine for now - so stick with them I would start with speaker cables and then power cables Take a look at Zavfin... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable @rauliruegas - my post was not commenting on any specific cable. It was meant to point out there there are cable design complexities to be considered other than simply the type of metal used in the conductor My apologies if it appeared otherwise ... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable @jw944ts - cable selection is far more complex than Silver vs. copper and it seems that cable geometry and insulation type are seldom mentioned. However, as pointed out by others, these two design elements of a cable are most often responsible fo... |
