| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? " Solid core has big bass and more detail and stranded is smoother.."Nope, wrong obdervations. A solid wire will deliver the signal in one piece while a stranded wire will deliver separated & distorted signals from every conductor. This kills... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. About digital coax: get your hands on a piece of Vivanco KX-710 (tv-coax)and a pair of decent rca-plugs. Terminate and have funAbout burn-in: static charges in the conductor(s) as well as the insulation might be involved, and some pure vodoo on t... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Don`t let me ruin the discussion for you folks, but have any of you ever tryed out solid core powercables? (ca 12awg) This might open your ears/eyes a bit (or simply be shocking) | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need What gauge is your poweramps secondary windings? This size defines how much power your amp will be able to push out. Forget about the amps max wattt rating, it is the amps dynamic capasity that defines the need of wiregauge.Mine has 2x9awg winding... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Every component in the ac- or signal path will need moore or less of a burn/break-in. some components in the signal-path like condencers might need a long period, while a powercable gets it`s massage a lot faster.Speakercables are somewhere betwee... | |
| Let's talk power cords Why the last few feets of cable counts? Because the powersupply "sees" the ac through these last few feets of wire. It is like a blood.vein, the atreia that feeds the powersupply.And as we know; the quality of the powersupply defines the quality ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Nelson Pass has a lot to learn on this topic.IC`s: 2xVivanco KX-710 pr lenght, only inner cores connected. Makes the ultimate* IC, rca or xlr. One single KX-710 makes the ultimate digital coax.*100% inaudibleToo bad I can`t upload pics here or I w... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? jea48; Romex will outperform any manufactured PC | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? I`ve used solid core powercords for about 25 years. DIY, 12awg shielded. 9awg to poweramp. (big guy)They do not "do" anything, but they are the only PC without any loss, distortion asoBtw; speakercables should be made the same way, but needs to be... | |
| Best DIY power cable. Why not make? Nothing but solid-core for the last 30 years in my system, no tiny threads like AQ/Nordost or whatever | |
| What digital cable between levinson 360s and 37? ATT glass is good, the only thing that can beat slightly it is a Vivanco KX-710 coax | |
| Power Cables and Affects on Timing (and speed)? Do you diy David? If so, try to make up some safe(!) powercords from +/-12awg solid core. About timimg, a well known trick in my area is to test the powercords polarity vs other components powercord, this can be heard specially in 3d and bass-timi... | |
| Diy interconnects RCA connectors. I stumbled over a tv-coax years ago that has shown to be totally inaudible as an ic when used one lenght for + & -. It is the Vivanco KX-710. Tryed it up against a lot of top-ic`s, nothing comes really Close. A bit tricky to terminate, I prefe... | |
| power cables where do I start? No stranded wire are close to be correct since stranded wires means distortion and (because of that) dynamic loss. This has nothing to do with directionality though. | |
