Cable manufacturers often take their lead from the hi-fi industry when it comes to marketing. Terms such as oxygen-free, skin effect, directionality and dielectric biasing are bandied about and, while ...

Note: This article was originally published September 23rd, 2005 but we felt it was time for a little update based on some of the new products that surfaced to allegedly fix a non-existant problem.

If you see a problem in the digital audio eye pattern, one thing to investigate is the interconnect cable. Are you using ordinary audio cable? For digital audio, regular analog audio cable doesn't go ...

In some applications it is necessary to transmit square waves across a long cable. However, long cables typically have high capacitance, which can significantly affect the signal’s wave shape. As such ...

At audio frequencies capacitance is not a factor at all for the cables your describe. These values are miniscule and are totally swamped by the input impedance of the audio amplifier.

Let's start by observing that you can't believe everything you hear. In fact, if you've spent any amount of time around home audio/video and home theater, you probably already know that the sale of ...
