OK now this just makes me question the credibility of the whole book based on this very topic. The author doesn't recognize that TL effects of speaker cables are negligible and completely swamped out by insertion loss effects of resistance far before the cable lengths become long enough to be of...

Well that's a matter of perspective since I consider any type of electrical interference to be RFI or EMI related. AM is more susceptible to noise than FM because noise affects amplitude which is where the audio signal is stored in an AM signal.

Thanks, I've never seen this. However all of my telcom work of the past has been with twister pair wiring. Personally I've NEVER seen or measured an RFI problem with speaker cables or audio amplifiers especially if everything is designed properly with a solid grounding scheme. I don't operate...

It's the very same people that are quick to criticize that would NEVER offer any support for this site let alone spend the money on the very product they criticize. I honestly don't give a rats a55 about their opinion. They come here for FREE and get some of the most detailed tech articles...

I don't know who Bob Cordell is but what I said is correct. A low impedance termination will nuke the RFI pickup at audio frequencies through a speaker cable. I've never seen RF ingress into an output stage of an amplifier happen in real life nor is it even something I've read about in classic...

LOL the only way a speaker cable can act as an antenna is if its unterminated. My wife actually heard music from our bedroom speakers when I was listening to music in my upstairs home theater system when I first was installing everything. It turned out that I didn't yet connect the speaker...

You seem like an overly sensitive person and if posting a picture of an expensive exotic cable on facebook causes you that much stress, than I suggest to you take a little break from facebook. Nobody is telling you to buy anything. Stick with your OEM chords and Bluejeans cable. I am a big...

Nope but those are subjective claims similar to an amplifier company claiming their amp is more transparent than their competition. If I scrutinize every company in the industry for every claim they make, then we will be left working with nobody. Kimber is one of the few esoteric cable...

What exactly are you disappointed in? The fact that Kimber sells attractive cable or that it's expensive? I don't see any wild claims on their site about magic in their cables. I use their cables and I enjoy how their audio jewelry dresses up my system. Our facebook readers are more...

LOL Very true. Yes, I use a $40k APx585 HDMI Audio Analyzer. Interpreting the measurements is the challenge as most people simply will blindly make a measurement but may not understand what it means or if it was done correctly. I prefer having someone with an EE background. My wife's cousin...

I wish I could find someone local and trainable to do amplifier measurements for us. With my time being more limited daily, this has become increasingly more challenging. I just hired a new marketing person to help free up my time, fingers crossed, so I can head this up again.

A majority of the mainstream Canadian speakers use Chinese made drivers and crossover parts. They are only assembled in Canada. The same happens for US companies as well.

<!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Yes, the response will be different in the lowest frequencies without the top sub port close coupling with the floor. Having them stacked will result in slightly less 20-30Hz energy and more mid bass energy in the room compared to putting the subs side by...

That looks cool but the sub is meant to have it's port firing at the floor. You may be sacrificing a bit of extension this way.

Dollar for dollar, the new STR-DN1040 is a tough AV Receiver to beat. With features like built-in Bluetooth, WiFi, and AirPlay, and added new functionality like FLAC decoding and a revamped user interface its the best Sony in this price class. In terms of inputs for various AV gear, it has...

Great minds think alike ;)

Perhaps you didn't see my measurements in my review: XPR-1 Mono-block Reference Power Amplifier | Review by Audioholics.com – Emotiva Audio News or the fact that I drive the snot out of these amps with my $50k reference speakers that dip well into 2 ohms and have no issues with driving them...

You can't produce an amp in the USA and compete with Emotiva prices. Also most Class D amps are still lacking in performance when compared to the best linear designs.

I haven't looked at the differences very closely between Levinson and ATI stock amps. Another forum member here has and maybe he will chime in. I would suspect Lexicon took a base ATI design and asked them to make a few upgrades to fit their needs. I don't think the top end Levinson is an ATI...
