    Speaker Wires

    <font color='#000000'>What about for audio interconnects? Is a solid core or a stranded core better? Btw, I don't believe in the concept of strand jumping so that won't be an issue with me.</font>

    Receiver vs separate amp/preamp

    <font color='#000000'>Based on the responces I've gotten the issue of power in separate amps vs receiver would probably be none. But, what about sound quality for simple 2 channel music playback? I know some will say that for this purpose 2 channel separates will always beat a multichannel...

    Receiver vs separate amp/preamp

    <font color='#000000'>How well do todays multichannel receivers compair to 2 channel separates when playing the receiver in 2 channel mode for music play back? I know that with many things in audio (cables for example) price doesn't always equal preformance. I thought the same might apply to...

    Are these observations true?

    <font color='#000000'>I've noticed that with common manufacturers the guage of coax used is similar to an RG59 cable. It is about a 20-22 guage conductor and can be in a stranded form or a solid conductor. Both Monster and Acoustic Research are companies that seem to be using this guage wire for...

    impedance matching for anolog audio cables

    <font color='#000000'>I've noticed that people are using 75 ohm video cable for anolog audio. I've also noticed that some prefer to use neutrik (profi) type rca connectors. I'm not sure if these are a 75 ohm connector or not. If in fact they are not 75ohm connectors what happens to the audio...

    A problem with characteristic impedence formula

    <font color='#000000'>SQRT((0.106*10^-6)/(16.2*10^-12)) = 80 ohms  The formula is z=sqrt(L/C)  L=.106 C=16.2  Using the formula I also get 80 ohm but these specs where listed for a cable that was suppose to be 75 ohms. All the numbers are correct I checked them twice. Why does the formula and...

    Is this the formula for characteristic impendenc

    Is this the formula for characteristic impendenc

    <font color='#000000'>z=sqrt(L/C) &nbsp;I saw the specs for a 75 ohm coax that where as follows: &nbsp;L=.106 micro henries C=16.2 pF/ft. If you place these figures into the formula you have z=sqrt(.106/16.2). The answer you get is not 75 but .0809</font>

    video cable impedance

    <font color='#000000'>Is there are coralation between the capacitance in a video cable and it's charateristic impedance(75ohms). In other words, does a video cable have to be in the range of 16-21 pF/ft of capacitance in order to maintain an impendence of 75 ohms?</font>
