*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters


G'DAY

I’ve spent a sizeable amount of the last year putting together this white paper: The Sound of Music and Error in Your Speaker Cables

Yes, I’ve done it for all the naysayers but mainly for all the cable advocates that know how you connect your separates determines the level of accuracy you can part from your system.

I’ve often theorized what is happening but now, here is some proof of what we are indeed hearing in speaker cables caused by the mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the speaker cable and the loudspeaker impedance.

I’ve included the circuit so you can build and test this out for yourselves.


Let the fun begin

-So the white paper will work with kindling ?
-What are the survival odds..you at a snake oil convention ?
No comment @1971gto455HO.  I am sure the author meant well and believes what they wrote is accurate. It is not. It is seriously flawed. It would be best to just withdraw it, no burning needed.
This thread is yet another wonderful illustration of why its such a waste of time for audiophiles to talk tech. Its all well and good for engineers and designers. But with audiophiles all that happens is the same BS just different words.  

When we get good sound we love it so much we just can't help but want to know all about it. Only thing, the more we learn the more it remains a mystery. Some guy comes along with a nice story. Might as well admit, its a nice story. Probably even some of it is true. Whatever true means. As if we know even that much.  

Just you who knock it, don't pretend you're any better. When it comes to understanding what's really going on we're all pretty much shivering around the campfire in the darkness hoping the tiger's not too hungry tonight.

All I really want to know, how's it sound?
Why do some people make it out to be so hard to get good sound? It’s really not. The core knowledge base needed is really not that big and is very well documented. The rest is mostly personal preference. Good sounding gear is plentiful and need not cost a fortune. Setting it up well can be tricky but is not rocket science.

I get it. It’s a hobby!  Also folks need to sell things.   A perfect match!

Carry on.
Silversmith Fidelium are garnering some excellent reviews.
Until today I'd never heard of Townsend Isolda.
