| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? A few Cardas cables can be pretty high... http://www.cardas.com/clear_sp.php This one is 278 pf / foot x 10 = 2780 pF for a 10 ft cable- that's pretty highThis is probably their highest capacitance cableBy comparison - The Van den Hul D352 is ... | |
| Bluesound Powernode 2 @egertmic It’s quite understandable that power cables would make such a significant improvements because the Node 2 is so small and therefore, so is its power supply.A good power cable definitely augments the abilities of the Node 2 power supply.G... | |
| Bluesound Powernode 2 I have the Powernode 2 on my A/V system, a Node 2 in my 2 channel system and the Pulse Mini for portable music around the garden.I first bought the Node 2 and was so impressed with the interface and sound quality, that I went out and bought the Po... | |

RE: Garth Powell is on record (see below) that the braided design is not for sound quality, but only to make the cable flexible Pehaps that is the case in his design - however ...- if you take a 12 gauge extension cable from home depot- remove... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I have tried braided geometries and they are much more beneficial when compared to a more standard cable geometries.However, it gets more complicated as you delve further into the "science" of cables.The best geometry I have tried/built is this He... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @unsound - It's good to know Goertz includes the Zobel network free - perhaps a few other companies should do that as well.Thanks for the info. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @unsound re:... and know that I use a wide bandwidth ss amp with high capacitance speaker cables Which amp and which cables - I'm curious 8-). Thanks | |
| How much difference could a simple Banana plug make? OK - so I have had the opportunity to try these connectors more as an "adapter".Yep - I simply inserted the bananas into the binding post of both amp and speakers and then inserted the existing bananas installed on my cables into the KLE bananas.H... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @almarg - you bring up anothre very interesting point... In less extreme cases, though, there may be subtle but significant adverse effects on sonics, including things like overshoot, ringing, or low level ultra-sonic or RF oscillations that are n... |
