Audio Accessories: "A Talk About Audio Cables"

Audio Accessories "Audio Cable Story"

Cables are increasingly evolving into high-quality, high-performance cables. High SN ratio, high resolution in broadband, these are due not only to the higher quality of conductors, but also to the improvement of insulation materials, materials with better electrical properties, etc. This is where the quality and expressiveness of the old and the newest cables differ significantly. The audio system may only get old sound if it remains an old cable. From output to input, it is important to prevent the missing signal and transmit it without picking up noise.Bakoon ProductsThe cable maker is working on the development of cables using superior conductors and superior materials because the system using current signals cannot be avoided. The cable affects sound quality by length. This is not only the audio signal, but also the same as the video signal, and the longer the signal is missing, the more the missing signal increases, so if possible the shorter the information is missing and the delay is not encountered, so it is good. Wiring is also recommended because it becomes beautiful.

It is also said that the sound of the cable is ultimately determined by the terminal. It is an important part because it is actually a direct connection part. The sound quality of the cable with the terminal added should be the influence of the cable 50% and the terminal 50%, but the effect of the terminal is actually said to be 20-30%. In any case, it should eventually become a combined sound. Roughly, it will be a terminal with gold plating and a rhodium plating. The difference between the plating is that the gold plating is a smooth intermediate band and attractive, but the delicate resolution of the mid to high range is easy to become sweet. Rhodium plating tends to tighten consistently with high SN ratio and high resolution throughout, and the texture seems to be somewhat cool. It is common evaluation that rhodium plating is more advantageous at high accuracy purity, although there is compatibility and preference with cable. I think that it is better not to think about it because it is rhodium because it is gold because it is two layers and four layers plating strictly using copper or silver. In addition, there is a luxurious terminal using the same material as a very superior conductor made of a proprietary precious metal alloy using 5N to 6N gold and silver platinum like an ogrine at Muto.

The speaker cable drives the speaker that ultimately emits sound. The meaning of grading up the speaker cable is to sublimate the sound quality of the system to a new level by making it a cable with high precision transmission capacity. Connecting the cable to the speaker is not particularly difficult if you wear it firmly so as not to mistake the plus and minus. However, the final sound quality of the speaker cable, as mentioned above, should be determined by the terminal attached, so if you are using a bare line, you can upgrade by wearing the terminal. When the terminal is installed, the cable can be connected more reliably, and there is a merit that the core wire can be maintained with constant sound quality without damage.

When connecting a cable to a speaker terminal, there is no problem with connecting a cable with a thin conductor diameter by burning a bare wire, but when it becomes a cable with two thick conductor structure, it is often advantageous in terms of connection reliability and sound quality by terminal processing with Y lug, banana plug etc. For how to choose Y rags and banana blags, there are many parts with better resolution and high range characteristics of Y lag, but it is surprisingly difficult to tighten with fingers, and there is a problem that it is easy to remove to fix a thick and heavy cable on a small speaker. For this reason, banana plugs have the advantage of being easy and reliable. In any case, high resolution and high precision terminals are ideal. The cable affects sound quality by length. To avoid sound deviation and changes in sound quality, make it equal length to the left and right speakers. In addition, the minimum length required is advantageous for sound quality, but it is better to make the length with a little margin considering the replacement of the terminal later, change of system, move etc.
