Hardwiring?


Has anyone hardwired their components from source to speakers doing away with separate cables? Seems to me that the mechanical connection between jacks and plugs could be more of a source of problems than all the talk found in the reams of paper and over the excessive bandwidth given to the conductor material, cable configuration and dielectric combined. Would this not be a way of simplifying the signal path? I guess an integrated amp gives one a leg up in that department.

Sean and Elizabeth are on to something. I have thought about hardwiring my stuff, but was never ready to commit to my present system so completely.

It's kinda like getting married. Things are easier to join together than to put asunder!!!

With the idea that every connection is a loss of signal, hardwiring would eliminate several connections. Even if a person could do the amp to speaker I think it would be a great improvement.

If ALL audiophiles could agree (I know, I know, I had to stop typing for a while to let the laugther subside) on one cable as the perfect cable then equipment companies could have a predetermined length of cable protruding from the back of the piece of gear. Rather than having two connections (one on each piece) the gear would have only one that met in the center or middle of the length of the cable.

Since this is never going to happen we will have to live with the shortcomings of the multiple connections and loses of signal. BUT maybe someday...
