What interconnects for my amplifier?

[highfigh]

Thanks, but why would I do that, what has that got to do with my post?

Was supposed to go to PaulBe. Sorry- first cup of the day.

Some of yall need to learn how to quote posts

A non-technical person will get more out of the BJ article than the Wiki article. Both articles serve their purpose but to a different audience.

The BJ article serves common consumers, in simple English, who will never understand field theory as you and I learned in school. The BJ article gets as technical as most people will ever understand. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

If you are going to teach, respect the needs of the audience. When we learned the basics, we were both taught with analogies that didn't perfectly match reality. Yet, they served as adequate foundations for further and more in-depth study.

Edit - I'll bet that some of these boutique cables mess with the 'field' in detrimental ways. That makes a small difference, and the consumer who bought the expensive cable, and the BS that goes with it, is psychologically convinced that it is better.

I see your point except that imo a lengthy explanation like that might just defeat the purpose. I do agree with you, to a point.

I don’t do anything to impress others, public or private.

All I care about is feeling good about my HT in private.

That's all that matters, nothing more.

At least the article did not compare impedance with a car brake, or perhaps I missed that?

BTW- human hearing isn't so good that it hears what can't be measured and the mind plays a lot of tricks on us.

You mean we cannot hear what we cannot measure? Some believe in the supernatural, why not hear beyond science capability.

Three pages of this nonsense thread. You won’t be able to convince people of anything. Some people want to be fooled. Some want to fool.

There is a cup for every saucer. There is a grifter for every sucker.

Only three? I think historical records here have much longer dialogues over these matters.

I see your point. There is always a concern that too little information will not be enough, and too much information will add to confusion. No one will get it right for everyone.

90% to 100% of that article was a contorted car analogy.

Teach, oh Great One.

Finally you show some proper deference, Padawan!

That's my point, the first five paragraphs boils down to one sentence in the end "The "impedance" of the load represents the opposition to current flow which the load presents. "

I was being too harsh, in mentioning internet misinformation, that is hardly the case, so I am going to try and edit that out, just to be fair.

Ground loops are eliminated by eliminating the... Loop - this is why you connect the cold and ground lines of unbalanced connections using XLRs OR RCAs and 3 wire cable ONLY at the source.

That doesn't e;eliminate the loop, it just makes the loop much larger. You will still have Common Impedance Coupling Noise. But the current might flow thru the AC power system and your audio circuits commons.

For single-ended, unbalanced RCA interconnects, the best plan is to use a coax with a heavy braided shield.

I love audio to car analogies.

So which wires are like LEXUS and which wires are like KIA?

 

[mtrycrafts]

So which wires are like LEXUS and which wires are like KIA?

Haven't looked closely enough, but when I have it said 12g or 14ga, hdmi, or coax. Does that count?

oh, wait, had 8ga when installed landscape lighting many moons ago.

Mine are neither. Mine are this!!!!!

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire Wire!

Yee haw!!!

You forgot the teaching... What you have to teach will determine Who is the 'Padawan'. Professor, I yield the floor.

Not all are receptive to teaching, as you know very well, old padawan.

After his drumphy stuff hard to consider any teacher status at all, more like a demented sycophant at best.
