How to measure speaker cables?
First of all, thank you so much for all the fellows for your inputs.
Well, I have to admit that, high dollar speaker cables really make the difference, but the point is, whether the difference(s) worth the high dollar? I listened to a USD$0.30/ft cable and a USD$150.00/ft cable, they sound REALLY difference, the high dollar cable REALLY sounds better, but defintely not 500 times better than then cheap cable!!! That is one of the reasons that I try to make speaker cable myself. I just make one with double 12 AWG "normal" speaker cable (USD$0.40/ft), terminated it real good, heat shrink it, put on foil, nylon sleeving the whole nine yards, and guess what? I spent about USD$50.00 for that pair of speaker cables and it sounds almost as good as my Analysis-Plus Oval 9 (which is about USD$500.00), although my cable lack a little bit detail in the mid-range, the high pitch is not as clear. But, I blame it as new cables, need another 100 hours to break-in. What I want is to find out the characteristic of the Oval 9, like the Q, L, and C. Then compare them with my home-made cable's Q, L, and C to see if the "difference" can be quantified!!! Hey, if I told you I make a good living, you might not have any idea what "good living" mean, but if I told you I make 3 million dollars salary per year, then you know what my good living mean! We all live in a "number" world! Once again, thanks for all the inputs, please keep feed me with information and knowledge. Lawrence Leung |
