Why would a low capacitance cable need a high impedance amplifier input?
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables".
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables.
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

roberttdid Cleeds, Perhaps if some people, in the absence of being able to make and communicate a reasonable argument, just stepped back from their keyboard as opposed to resorting to insults that add nothing to the conversation, then yes. Till then .... I won’t apologize for defending myself. >>>>>So, besides begin a pseudo scientist you’re also a hypocrite? Makes sense, most of them are. |
@roberttdid Well, 10k is already a pretty low input impedance for a power amp, less than that, rather unusual... correct me if I'm wrong. It is my understanding that with VERY low capacitance pre-to-amp interconnects, which the HPC is, and and an equally low amp-input-impedance, a resonance circuit (Schwingkreis) can be created, in the process may destroy the amp. Any experts might chip in with further detail by all means. Michélle 🇿🇦 |
Considering people use short cables, as short as 1ft to connect pre-amps and power amps which would have very low capacitance, no, oscillation would not be an issue, and would not be a factor of low capacitance, and the output of the preamp is low impedance so would dampen oscillations. My point is it sounds like either a made up spec or one not based on sound reasoning. Many of these cables guys don't have a whole lot of knowledge w.r.t. electronics. |
