Alpha Core Goertz

This thread does not match my experience.  I ordered a set of Zobels from them a year or two ago and it was no problem at all.

ketchup and jetter,

Yes, I was able to order the Zobel’s from Goertz-Bridgeport Magnetics for $15+ $20 shipping. I should have them soon.

It’s just that no one that works there knows if they are bare wire, spades etc. I guess I’ll find out. And/or if they go at the amp or speaker end. How can they all be so clueless? Not to mention not very good at speaking English, it was definitely a challenge to place an order.

Can anyone comment as to the bass quality with these cables?

@ozzy 

They are about 4 inches long and the connection points are bare wire.  From my own use and reading they are usually used at the speaker end and one network is placed between the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of your terminals.

As you know, they are used to prevent amps from oscillation.  It is my understanding that only a few amp designs are susceptible to oscillation due to the cables.  But so easy to use I always used them.

Thank you jetter! That info helps alot.

So, if I will be using the Goertz cables just on the woofer end of my speakers bi-wire connections, I should still use the Zobel’s?
