I was going to ask the same question?
A resistor in a speaker cable? WHERE?
A resistor in a speaker cable? WHERE?
cable burning
Here is the manufacturer's description of the rationale for the passive components in their cables. From a qualitative (non-quantitative) standpoint pretty much everything in their statement strikes me as making sense. The quantitative significance of the issues their networks are intended to address, on the other hand, is IMO perhaps best characterized as speculative. Regards, -- Al |
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sorry but I can't be any help as far as the resistor value. Just from a common sense approach I think Almarg may have hit it with the idea that it was covered so tightly may have trapped the heat in. I never imagined that that much heat could be sent thru a speaker cable. In the original form that resistor is located inside that plastic junction box cover where the cables spread apart. I may have just suffocated it. Since this happened I've got about 12 more hours played and everything sounds fine. I will be taking them to be repaired properly very soon and I will ask them why this happened and pass it on then. |
Al, Thanks for the link. I wonder why "Noise interferes with a cable's ability to transfer an audio signal with the richness, smoothness, and naturalness of music". Transparent cables filter frequencies over 1MHz that are not audible but could possibly modulate audio signal, but there is no non-linear element. Tweeter's membrane might be non-linear at higher frequencies but it won't move at 1MHz. I would suspect more interference with amplifier by injecting noise into it since output is also an input (for the feedback) and is low impedance only for low frequencies. If that's true then shouldn't filtering network be located on the amp and not the speaker side? Does it have boxes on both sides? |
