Before we debate the relevancy of Dielectric Absorption relating to speaker cables, and commonly perpetuated by many exotic cable vendors and cable cult hobbyists ...
As you probably know if you've been shopping for cables, coax for most video applications is "75 ohm" coax–but what the heck does that mean, anyway? This article is a short, non-technical explanation ...
I started down the road, then looked a little further and found some other cables with different impedance. I used Belden 1800B cable, which is rated at 110 Ohm, while I see some other cables that are ...
Sure there are a few other parameters, such as velocity factor, precise delay time, and operating temperature range. In some cases, we might even have our cables fabricated by any one of the numerous ...
Oscilloscope probes are handy tools for making measurements, but they have limitations. For example, they have rather limited bandwidth and that ground clip can create a loop that can pick up noise.
Why should twisted-pair cabling, used in large quantities to carry 4-kHz voice signals in the phone system, suddenly work well at 100 MHz and beyond? The simple answer is that it doesn’t. All ...
Despite this article being over a 16 years old, we continue to receive numerous emails and comments on our YouTube channel about how one should budget their spending on audio and video interconnects, ...
