    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    Inductance Perhaps I was unclear in my post or misunderstood something. But I was thinking like this: Assuming a simple twisted pair cable ("zip cord"?). The greater the distance between the twisted pair the greater the inductance (and the lower the capacitance). Correct? A stranded...

    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    Best cable stranded or solid core Normally Palerider should have the opportunity to defend his own position. However, since his post is 3 years old at least I can not get accused of stealing the words out of his mouth. :D I think he is adhering to the fact that solid core string can be...

    Bi-Wiring From Amplifier To Loudspeaker

    Stumbling on the Bi-wire technicalities I outmost admire scientific approaches, in favour of subjective thoughts/evaluations, since the former tends to be black or white/right or wrong (and verifiable to the ambitious people how have the interest, skills and time for this) A prudently...

    pre-amp to amp connectors?

    If you are eager to get the most out of your system, there are mainly two things to consider for an RCA interconnect: • Low Capacitance – Capacitance is by far the most important factor for an interconnect cable since your load (in this case the power amp) has a very high input resistance. This...

    How do you know what cables to use? (Size? Quality?

    Above 16 kHz!? As a profound listener of dog pipe orchestras, I would say ”its where it all happens”. :D I have had a first look at the article you referred to and it seems to confirm much of what I wrote in earlier posts. However, the article is quite dense and need a bit of digestion...

    How do you know what cables to use? (Size? Quality?

    You seem to have gotten me with my pants down this time! I have not been able to validate with any other sources, however if your source are correct the random min values certainly looks closer to 4 Ohms than 1 Ohms. However, to show my good sportsmanship, I now disagree with the whole...

    How do you know what cables to use? (Size? Quality?

    Speaker cable: Doubling the 16 AWG will reduce the recistance by half, so that is good. However, since you run two separate leads you will not benefit form the same inductance reduction as if you got to the same net gauge in one cable Interconnect cable: It is the overall quality of the...

    Is a fuzzy sound coming from speakers normal?

    I agree with j_garcia, you need to find the source of the trouble. I propose that you disconnect all devices (e.g. cd-player etc) and only leave the amplifier connected and see if the noise remains. Then the amp is the problem. If the amp is fine, connect the devices one by one and locate...

    How do you know what cables to use? (Size? Quality?

    Congratulations to the speakers, they seem great! To get the most out of your speakers, I have the following cable advice: Speaker cables: Wire gauge – To be on the safe side throughout the frequency range I would recommend an 11 AWG or lower (heavier gauge). The Speaker Cable Gauge...
