Not that I have a lot of patience for audio, but I finally ran out my allotment for the effing shielded phono cables when the clock sounded 12 before I figured out a quiet grounding scheme. On the up side, I cleaned and re-greased all the contacts f...

I think it needed to be expended what I mean by “new smart layout of the power cables”. What you run a large system than you have many circumstances when power cables cross signal cables. Not only that. The PDO cables are liquid filled and they do no...

Dear Romy, What is your opinion about silver cables drdna suggested (http://www.laventure.net/tourist/cables.htm)Armen...

Glad to hear you finally went and did IT! Now let's see (hear) how buffered per-channel level-set resistance works with the per-channel curves, and how easy this is to tune and integrate per total (stereo) side. It seems like this pretty much "has t...

Yes, the last cap of power supply much be on the side of load as it shell have a short path to ground. Without it you will have “less bass”, more crosstalk in case it is a stereo amp with single PS and a few other negative things.
With cables is mor...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

Looks like this cable thread is about cables for FM (a particular FM set-up, actually...). And why not, since a given cable will certainly affect the sound we get from our systems according to how we use it? Even the "professional reviewers" unders...

I need to note that the methods that Purist uses are superbly powerful. A few years ago, inspired by what POD does I did number experiments damping cables with liquid. It is astonishing how sound was affected with different liquids. I was running at ...

Adrian, is the room raised floor or a slab? If the former, then wall-mount makes sense, especially for a TT. If slab, then you have more options, as far as spreading things around. Soft carpet or hard flooring factors, too. Yo...

I have been adding and reconfiguring gear recently and I will be needing a 6' digital cable very soon, when I add batteriy power, so I just went ahead and bought one of the "Synopsis" remainders Romy mentioned.This $5 discontinued Belkin blue ca...

Tim, the cable loading is not what I meant. Purist does like higher current across the cable but which cable does not love it? Dave Clark described very well some of the aspect of usability of POD cables (like disturbance). Some of them he left out. ...

The Big Secret of Cables is a fact, well know fact BTW, that electricity does not flow in cable but rather within an electromagnetic field around the conductor. The cable’s nearfield (let say 2” around a conductor) is as critical environment as the c...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Attentuators plugged directly into the RCA jacks sounds like good solution for balance control[/quote]Do not forget that you do not need the attenuators but juts one attenuator that you would plug on right OR on left. Also,...

When I said “cable” then I meant whatever cable might mean, the sonic qualities and whatever comes with it. You cartridge with it 2mV drives a cable to a transformer, for instance 1M that has impedance, capacitance and so on. The transformer has 26dB...

Paul,
I've see the post you referenced today, and I am still thinking about cable construction:
UP-OCC Copper or Silver Wire[1,2,3] -> Wax (or Oil) -> Cotton Sleeve -> A...

[quote user="slack key"]I know that speaker position and room acoustics are important. I use a laser to align the speakers, room treatments, hallographs, crystals, ionizer, Z-sleeves, bybee filters, etc. I also have power conditioners, installed de...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...
|
|
This is very ugly topic as I have been looking a solution for years and I do not have a consensus with myself regarding this. I have 21 AC power consumers in my playback. Well, the 21 that require good power, another 8 might be plugged to the utility...

Still being pissed that my second arm/cartridge does not sound as good as my first one I decides to get another phono DIN-RCA cable – I have my reasons to be suspicions now about my kinky Micro Fat cable. So, talking about different manufacturers som...

Rich,I have been experimenting with true Litz magnet wire (we use it in our transformers occaisionally) and have discovered that you can use discreete amounts of plastic dielectric material, spaced down the length of the wire, to "tune" the dynamic c...

Dear Drdna, I red with interest about your experience in cables would you please give us more info. As I 'm sure many audiophiles are tired of spending $10000000000for cables which actual material cost are $0.00000000000001!Armen...

Dear Romy, You got me wrong I perfectly know that value of many things are not the sum of materials which they are made of, otherwise you could buy Mona Lisa for couple of bucks. The point I tried to say is usually cable manufacturers-and others in a...

Yeah, the power cord was nothing special. The Shunyata cord PLUS the Hyrdra conditioner represent the single best upgrades to my system aside from John's mods. I was skeptical about power cords and conditioners, but I'm a bit of a fanatic a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The most interesting in who of it is the question: what relation
cable impedance has to do with actual sound? It is easy to take number of cable
and to measure how close they are to 75R. It is very easy if the cable that

Actually your point on 75 ohm cables is a good one. I had our lab guys look at the various 75 ohm cables we had to check how accurate a load they presented. Various designer bnc-bnc cables were checked and a surprising number did not represent 75 ohm...

I have absolutely no assumption how those cables sound but the write up about them is absolutely idiotic.

The phrases like “fewer than two .80mm solid core conductors”...
