Hi All,
    I have just read the lastest edition of Electronics World, and it had two
intresting
features. One was circuit diagrams and explanations for a Sub crossover that
used feedback to compensate for wrong sized boxes and the other was about
speaker cable.
    Can anyone tell me below what frequencies does Bass quit being stereo? Or
below what frequencies can we tell that Bass is no longer stereo?
    The article on Speaker cable involved some guy that has a SoundBlaster 16
and
found that the 860hz sound he put in, when coming out of the amplifier had 
0.6%
distortion. Then he measured it at the end of the speaker cable and found 
hat
certain
types of cable had less distortion. Modern speaker cable had about 1.6%
distortion,
43 strand was the worst, and, heres the joke :-), 75-Ohm Coaxial cable, the
stuff you plug
your T.V. with, had NO extra distortion, the same as the amp. Now does this
mean that
75-Ohm cable is the best for ampifiers? If this was the case, why,  we'd all 
be
using mains
cable.. :-)
Any ideas?
