E.Technology lft8b+Pass Aleph3....cable?

[spersanti276]

Hi,
I have these speakers:

Low efficiency but a fairly high(always>8 Ohm) and regular impedance:

and two Aleph 3 (vertical biamp) to drive them.

Do you think it's better to use a cable with high capacitance/low inductance or one with high inductance/low capacitance to drive them?

Thanks

Any idea?🙂

I recommend low inductance, low capacitance and low impedance/resistance.

How can it be low inductance AND low capacitance in a cable?😕

I'm no expert but my understanding of inductance and capacitance in cables is that decreasing one comes at the expense of increasing the other-- and visa versa.

I don't know what mix of parameters would work best with your speaker. However; I use a cable designed by Jon Risch that avoids the extremes (of either capacitance or inductance), mitigates the penalties better than any cable that I know of and works well with my ESL speakers. You can't buy this cable but you can build it yourself. Instructions and materials are described in the link below:

Good question.
Need to find a compromise.
Low inductance is more important than low capacitance though.

I know the work of Risch, maybe i've read in Audioasylum Diy. Thanks.🙂

Now i'm using Goertz and Supra cable (very low inductance but high capacitance) but I'm using a 4 foot length (2 Aleph3 near loudspeakers in vertical biamp) so the values of capacitance don't harm.

Thanks.🙂
