Warning: Dangerous Territory - A Cable Question
From what little I understand the idea of an interconnect is to accurately transmit a voltage signature where the impedance of the sink is high enough to make the current flow negligible. If this is essentially correct, wouldn’t graphite spark plug wires make excellent single-ended interconnects? Skin Effect in Graphite?
There is a carbon interconnect, similar to carbon core spark plug wires: Van den Hul carbon interconnects
Do they still make those? That's a long commercial life for a product I've never heard of being actually bought and used. Poinz
From what I remember of Howard's (ART member) old website, he actually built a set of carbon fiber (?) interconnects and did quite a bit of testing. He would be a good source of information. Follow link to get his email address .....Colin http://audioroundtable.com/GroupBuild/messages/1131.html
Why is cable, "Dangerous Territory"?
Just wondering why people believe that? Some people would say low powered amps and highly sensitive speakers are "dangerous territory". Begin the flames! Man, I love this hobby.
Re: Why is cable, "Dangerous Territory"? 'Cuz...
cable talk tends to draw flames, big time.
That's for sure! Last thing we need is for this place to degenerate into what some other nameless sites have become... Regards, Lee
