A hard look at the effect of cables


Hey guys
A fellow EE audionut directed me to these articles and I thought some of you might be very interested to read them too. Two arguably qualified engineers went through the pains to take high quality measurements of the effect of cables and their interation with a complex electrical load, such as a full range loudspeaker, and with a complex signal, such as music. The link below is to the final installment but be sure to also read parts 4 and 5 very carefully. Part 5's Figures 6.8 and 6.9 are really amazing. I had never seen such measurements and they definitely seem to correlate with what we hear. The cables lengths are longer than normal but I think the point is well made. Hope you enjoy this read as much as I did.

Dennis--very interesting that you have not noticed any differences in pwr cords --you have a great system that should be quite revealing--I have been amazed at the differences in pwr cords --just changed from mit ac-1 on my amps to bpt L10 pwr cords with much improvement-the mit's and my previous old marigo's were prob little change -have also noticed changes when an L10 was added to my furman ref15it--nothing short of spectacular --waiting on a more expensive pwr cord for my cdp to see whether it will make a diff --I also have oyaide outlets and thought they tightened up the bass--rich --any ? email me
Hi-Pscanli--was using the shotgun--obv not as good as the magnum or oracle or even the ac-2 with amps-and of course not as expensive either--I am sure the upper models are much better--I have just spent a bundle on a new cord for my cdp and hoping it will be much better-waiting on delivery ---the bpt L10 is a steal for the cost--and made a diff in my system--of course every system is different --rich ?email me
