Iconoclast Series-2 Speaker Cable Design Memo Galen Gareis, May 15, 2023 BACKGROUND: I improved the series II RCA and XLR by realizing that the SIGNAL wire needs special parameters that I isolated in several listening tests early on. Both properties are connected; -Wire coherence improvements. Same, or near the same current through the wire cross-section based on wire size getting smaller… Continue Reading
Speaker Cable Design Brief Galen Gareis, January 29, 2020May 15, 2023 Speaker cables are a very different animal than high input impedance interconnecting cables. A speaker cable connects to an extremely inconsistent 2-32 ohm (or even lower and higher!) reactive load created by the speaker. RCA and XLR interconnect cables see a much more consistent and resistive high impedance load making… Continue Reading
