*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters


G'DAY

I’ve spent a sizeable amount of the last year putting together this white paper: The Sound of Music and Error in Your Speaker Cables

Yes, I’ve done it for all the naysayers but mainly for all the cable advocates that know how you connect your separates determines the level of accuracy you can part from your system.

I’ve often theorized what is happening but now, here is some proof of what we are indeed hearing in speaker cables caused by the mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the speaker cable and the loudspeaker impedance.

I’ve included the circuit so you can build and test this out for yourselves.


Let the fun begin

Why do some people make it out to be so hard to get good sound? It’s really not. The core knowledge base needed is really not that big and is very well documented. The rest is mostly personal preference. Good sounding gear is plentiful and need not cost a fortune. Setting it up well can be tricky but is not rocket science.

I get it. It’s a hobby!  Also folks need to sell things.   A perfect match!

Carry on.
Silversmith Fidelium are garnering some excellent reviews.
Until today I'd never heard of Townsend Isolda.

Probably even some of it is true. Whatever true means. As if we know even that much.

It will never cease to amaze me the mental gymnastics an audiophile will perform to avoid admitting that perhaps they are wrong or don’t know how something works (but someone else does).

Some of it ...which part? The premise is wrong, the conclusions wrong, simulations don’t illustrate what they are supposed to, the impedance measurement method is wrong ... It will be much harder to find something right than something wrong. And that I and many others know these things are wrong shows that yes, many know "that much".

Does this mean more consideration for matching white van speakers?
