Let me make it clear that I am one of those folks who doesn't take seriously claims that cables make such a huge difference in audio systems. However, when I saw the following article in my news reader, I knew I would have to pay attention:
http://www.embedded.com/columns/technicalinsights/202100909?pgno=1 I don't want to summarize the whole article, but it is definitely not your typical audiophile surface-level argument about cables. These guys are serious professionals, and the article is from Embedded.com (which covers audio to some extent, but it's definitely not the main focus). Let me give a brief teaser from the article: > Given the obvious interdependence of all the parts of the circuit, the > findings help to explain why such a lack of consistency exists between > reports of the beneficial effects of using certain loudspeaker cables. > It would appear to be the case that certain cable benefits can only be > claimed for certain amplifier/loudspeaker combinations, and that any > perceived audible improvement heard on any one combination may not > necessarily be able to be expected when the cable is used on any other > combination". These claims are backed up by measurements. Also, this is one of a several-part series on audio design, so it's sure to provide much good reading.
