If a high a capacitance across speaker cables produces a better sound, why can one not simply put an appropriate value capacitor across the speaker terminals while using low capacitance cables and achieve the same high capacitance (and presumably, a better sound) ?
Cables ... no longer opinion
PS Audio has already did the research. The answers are available forevermore.
The testing is sound, and not flawed. Their test results find exactly the same results my cable manufacturer found and preached. Josh from Downsize Audio Cables also found two strips of foils, stacked on top of each other and secured together made the best sounding speaker cables. I've tried all kinds of hyper expensive cables to dethrone the Downsize Audio foils ... NOTHING comes close at any price.
Downsize used a genuine teflon backed adhesive tape, double sided too, and custom rolled, extra thin foil of 6N purity. BUT he told me a person can get 90% of the same sound quality, using off the shelf inductor foils and standard thin packing tape. Try it and save tens of thousands of dollars.

I have some of this stuff laying around. Might be time for an experiment. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018RDZ3HG/?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=ac7db37b9948f264dac85d810b033c8e&... |
I've used Goertz, River Cable(similar but thicker), MG Designs(side by side as opposed to stacked), and ZenWave (braided foil ribbon).They won't work with every amp because of the low inductance. Many amps need to see some inductance.The result is an anemic sound and/or oscillation. The ZenWave (to my ears) is outstanding with my tube amp.With my ss amp it was anemic.The ZenWave is the very best I've heard,nothing else comes close. |
