What is Low Impendance for an interconnect?

Hey John -- re the reference to 30,000 ohm/4' length phono I/Cs gives me an idea. Don't you think it would be cheaper to simply use string to connect the phono and linestage together? Or one could just have an open circuit.

:)

Far out, John :-)

Well, I guess if one wants to design an interconnect that sounds different than just about everyone else's, that's one way to do it. IMO, though, both the design and the rationale for it that are stated in the review are completely ridiculous.

Which is not to rule out the possibility that in some systems, and for some listeners, that interconnect might produce results that are subjectively appealing.

In any event, Mr. Sanders gets credit for being right about at least one thing in his paper. IMO, of course.

Al, do you think it would make more sense to forgo using any I/C to connect components instead of paying for a 4 foot long I/C with 30K ohms of resistance?? It's practically an open circuit.

Bruce, no, but I wouldn't be surprised if in some systems your other suggestion might be found by some listeners to work just as well as that interconnect. Provided, of course, that the string has good pedigree and is well vetted by the cable manufacturer, is specially treated with some esoteric compound, and is marked up to audiophile price standards.

LMFAO...Al, you're a funny guy! Thanks for the chuckle.

Cheers,
