<font color='#000000'>Eric; Cable characterstic impedance starts to matter at about 1/10 the wavelength of the high frequency of the signal. &nbsp;For example, assuming max frequency signal is 10MHz for component video, then wavelength = 3*10^8m/s / 10^6Hz = 30 meters, thus 1/10(30) = 3 meters...

<font color='#000000'>I posed a series of questions to industry expert Dr. Howard Johnson regarding Skin Effect / Strand Jumping relevance in audio.  Take a look at his responses! http://www.audioholics.com/techtip....on.html</font>

<font color='#000000'>A very good idea and excellent suggestion. &nbsp;I will submit your request to my web designer. &nbsp;Thank you!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Mike please review the post above yours and the article again. &nbsp;This has been updated to fix the oversight you mentioned.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Pat; Thanks for your usefull inputs. &nbsp;I addressed the impedance / digital cable and roll off issue with Tony before I posted his article, but forgot to post the updates which corrected the statement to get his point across. &nbsp;I have since then updated it as was...

<font color='#000000'>Royster, Thanks for your feedback regarding these two receivers. &nbsp;We also preferred the sonic attributes of the 5ES. &nbsp;This is not to discredit the 4ES for those who own it however. &nbsp;Please realize there is a difference in retail price between the two and...

<font color='#000000'>Quadophile; Nice review! &nbsp;Thanks for sharing it with us. &nbsp;We are always looking for writers to help us review A/V software. &nbsp;If this interests you, please feel free to contact me.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Actually all receiver manufacturers must rate power in RMS for at least two channels as per FCC mandate. &nbsp;What many companies do is not rate power with all channels driven, or rate power at 1kHz or 6ohms, or both, to boost figures. &nbsp;HK, NAD, Rotel, and some others...

<font color='#000000'>Given your set-up and equipment profile, you should be fine with ordinary 12AWG Oxygen Free multi stranded cables. &nbsp;Many companies such as Monster, Acoustic Research, and others offer these types of cables. &nbsp;For best results, I recommend terminating the speaker...

<font color='#000000'>audioengr; thanks for sharing a good cost effective recommendation.  Does this cable come preterminated, or does the user have to buy RCA plugs and self terminate?  Also, most people will need a y-cable at the subwoofer side otherwise their sub level will be down 6dB or so...

<font color='#000000'>Audioeng; Points well taken. &nbsp;However, for the most part I feel shielded interconnects, providing that they are low capacitance, will have more benefit than not in most peoples systems. &nbsp;Given the wiring mess of most peoples home theater systems, mine included...

<font color='#000000'>I am also a little confused by the original question. However, in general, the differences between using coax vs optical cables for transmission of PCM, DD/DTS, etc are subtle at best.  If your cable run is short (1-2meters), coax is usually preferable as it allows for a...

<font color='#000000'>King; While we appreciate your input and participation in this forum, I personally find your response offensive and unsubstantiated. &nbsp;We have no particular bias towards one cable brand or another. &nbsp;Steve depicted two examples of cables in his article as examples...
