Would you change your amp selection knowing...?

@almarg - you bring up anothre very interesting point...

In less extreme cases, though, there may be subtle but significant adverse effects on sonics, including things like overshoot, ringing, or low level ultra-sonic or RF oscillations that are not directly perceivable as such

So another question one could ask - are members aware their amp could be suffering a less severe effect that may be degrading audio quality due to the speaker cables they have selected?

We hear so many times people finding a particular speaker cable sounds nicer with their amp - was the old cable causing issues within the amp?

@newbee ...

How come cable manufacturers don’t warn potential customers?

Well - for starters ...
- it does not apply to Tube amps (as far as I know)
- it does not happen with every solid dstate amp - high current only
- the length of speaker cable increases capacitance.
- it might even depend on the added capacitance of the speakers.

So from a cable perspective it’s not an exact science

However - i do think the amp manufacturer should make customers aware - just like NAIM does.

After spending 40 years as an audio enthusiast there still are so many variables that the customer is expected to consider - thank goodness for Audiogon :-)

Because the NAIM dealer told me up front - it made no difference to my amp selection - but if the amp had self destructed - I might be taking a different view on this question.

I would change my amp selection to favor a designer that actually knows what they're doing.  If they are clueless enough to design an amp that would go into oscillation under a cap load, then they aren't worth owning, don't qualify in the marketplace. 

@kiganki    
"then amp that oscillates was likely designed with shortcuts to improve specifications (or poorly designed).".  It is obvious you know nothing about Odyssey amps.  They are more honest than most audio manufacturers.  Visit them at one of the audio shows and you will be singing an entirely different tune.

No and no, and know that I use a wide bandwidth ss amp with high capacitance speaker cables.
