A very good afternoon to you Phil
Op 14 Feb 97 08:19 you wrote something about *Speaker Cable*...
PQ>     The article on Speaker cable involved some guy that has a 
oundBlaster
PQ> 16 and found that the 860hz sound he put in, when coming out of the
PQ> amplifier had 0.6% distortion. Then he measured it at the end of the
PQ> speaker cable and found that certain types of cable had less distortion.
PQ> Modern speaker cable had about 1.6% distortion, 43 strand was the worst,
PQ> and, heres the joke :-), 75-Ohm Coaxial cable, the stuff you plug your 
T.V.
PQ> with, had NO extra distortion, the same as the amp. Now does this mean 
that
PQ> 75-Ohm cable is the best for ampifiers? If this was the case, why,  we'd
PQ> all be using mains cable.. :-)
PQ> Any ideas?
Yes....Perhaps he was running a high impedance input on this cables or no 
load at all... :)
Greetingzetcetera, Thom
