    Interconnect cables

    <font color='#000000'>You can certainly use 75 ohm Characteristic impedance cable for analog.  The disadvantages are: 1) it is usually coax, so the forward and return impedances are not balanced 2) because it is coax, the capacitance per foot will be higher than a good analog interconnect 3)...

    speaker connection

    <font color='#000000'>adding more speakers to a single amplifier will several effects: 1) the impedance of the speakers in parallel will be lower than a single speaker, so the distortion levels of the amp will be higher 2) the dynamic headroom will be reduced, or the point at which clipping...

    Cryo

    <font color='#000000'>Why don't you guys just buy an outlet that is cryo treated and one that is not and compare the two.  That's what I did.  The difference was obvious to me.....  as a result I only sell the cryo treated ones.  I don't claim to understand it, I just have my theories. As for...

    Audio Cables Science or Religion?

    <font color='#000000'>I have to be one of the minority of cable manufacturers that has applied engineering and science to cable design. &nbsp;I can do this because I have designed electronics and interfaces for a number of large computer companies for the last 25 years. &nbsp;I don't claim to...

    RCA vs OPTICAl vs COAXIL

    <font color='#000000'>Regarding reclocking: I have found that a lot of equipment that claims to reclock the data at the receiving end actually does a rather poor job of this. &nbsp;For most of these, the sound improves dramatically with a low-loss SP/DIF cable. &nbsp;If the data were truly being...

    RCA vs OPTICAl vs COAXIL

    <font color='#000000'>Your question is not very clear, but I will try to demistify this for you. Analog interconnects are generally RCA connectors, but the cable can be a coaxial, twinaxial (twisted pair in a shield), or simply an unshielded twisted-pair. &nbsp;All of these will have wide...

    Subwoofer Interconnects

    <font color='#000000'>I have had good results for subwoofer signal with cables like the Belden 89740. &nbsp;It is an 18 AWG pair Teflon insulated. &nbsp;~$60 for 100 feet from Allied Elect. &nbsp;(Allied 216-0634). &nbsp;If you want a shielded version, the Belden 88760 is the same thing with...
