"- A polygraph? ...... ;-)"
Yes, with a complete FBI investigation.
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

This is the comment of the 0 AWG cables replacing a 12’ 14 AWG set: "My initial impressions: It’s like having new speakers. The sound is pure and clean. Minute details are suddenly apparent. The range is amazing. Highs, mid-tones and a new bass that I didn’t know my speakers were capable of. It feels that for all these years my speakers were being choked, and now can suddenly breathe and have their full voice. To say I’m happy about my new Lang speaker cables is an understatement. I’m thrilled. Thank you for building these superbly engineered cables to unleash the full potential of my home sound system".

Regarding Mr. Dill’s Q: " What about a double run of 0 AWG wire? Should be twice as good ...." The low cable resistance has an optimum value. After that, getting more gauge, would have little or no benefit (sonic) but will cost way more, as more material and labor are involved. This optimum value need to be calculated. The result, should be rounded up to the next AWG avaliable on the guage table: https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm Ref. to this table, a 4 AWG cable has a 0.81508 Ohm per 1,000m or 0.00081508 Ohm per 1m to have this as twice as good: 0.406392 Ohm, requires a 1 AWG cable. In other words, if you would need a 1m of 4 AWG, by doubling the length to 2m, it would now require a 1 AWG cable. or two 4 AWG in parallel. Two equal resistors in parallel = R/2 (of half the value of one resistor). If in series, it is 2R (by ohm’s law). |
b4icu, I concur about the importance of AWG. You are ripping yourself off in terms of performance by neglecting the power cabling. You have a lot of performance improvements available to you if you seek out aftermarket (or make your own, if you wish) power cords. You are not at the summit. Work with power cords and the system will improve greatly. I do not need to hear your system to know it. I know you are quite well versed on the theory. Now, ignore it and follow my advice. You will not be disappointed. :) I am not trying to argue with you, but encourage you to go the next step. |
