Speaker Wires, analysis and results

[Bill Coltrane]

What's wrong with adding a resistor to the output of the transistor amp in this very very specific case?

 

[scottjoplin]

so tungston speaker cables were used so that the system was matched.

A cryogenically treated resistor would have been better

 

[Evenharmonics]

Its just hi fi snobbery and audiophoolery.

Thus it was not a technical data.

Matt,
No more tongue in cheek. Post removed.

Thanks to Scott and JN my question about cryogenically treated wire has finally been answered, and whatever you do don't bend it or uncoil it when it arrives.

That was/is a fun thread!

The rest of the usual burn in etc. remains nonsense that will never go away, but you knew that.

Excuse me, but my steaks burnt in for 4 minutes on each side in on a charcoal fire, over an iron grill, taste much better than just out of the box, as sold.
Just do not burn them in too much or they dry up .

a charcoal fire

Is it still called a fire if there are no flames?

Seriously, does anyone have anything further to say on this subject? I am happy to put this one to pasture if we agree.

Before you close this thread, could I abuse it to ask Dave (planet10) to go over to the following thread where his input would be much appreciated?

Try it, it might work, speaker wire is very system dependent.

I forgot to mention copper has an ~3000ppm/C TC so cooling your room 15C (chilly yes) will have the same effect. You keep mixing this cryo etc. nonsense in with discussion of well known issues with high impedance amps and difficult speaker loads.
