Hi out there,
I wish all of you a Happy and Healthy New Year.
I would like to share with you my experience regarding the above cables.
Recently I bought 2 pairs of Magnum Silver Bronze cables with the intention
to connect my preamp (ARC SP11 mkii) with my valve monoblock amps (Antique
Sound Lab Hurricanes D200) and the 2nd pair
between preamp-CD(Sony SCD1).Immediately I noticed hum from the connection
pre-amps with both pairs.According to Mr.Magnan
"The pair of Silver Bronze with the hum problem may have slightly greater
resistance in the ground return ".
I measure the resistance and I found following results:
Pair Nr.5296 Blue cable on the ground return terminals 11.7ohm
Red
4.1 ohm
Pair Nr.5298 Blue 3.7
ohm
Red
4.3 ohm
Do you think there is something wrong ??
Thanks
george

Uhh quite so - cables shouldn't have this sort of resistance in the ground
return to begin with. 0.1ohms is about as high I would go and even then it's
no guarantee to keep all sorts of "ground borne" rubbish out of your
signals. This cable is bad medicine.

Were these tested by themselves, completely removed from all equipment?
ie - as if you were doing a continuity test on the wires themselves.

That's really high resistance.

Seems very, very high. Is it possible the measurement could be
wrong? Put the meter leads together to check the meter/lead
resistance.
