Hello,
looking at the structures of analog cables i wonder why they are so complex.
Then looking at a normal good quality digital cable i usually see a quite basic coaxial structure.
Is there a reason why analog cables must be so complex ?
I understand that quality of construction and materials is of paramount importance but i really do not understand why a good coaxial should not be good enough also for analogue.
Actually i made a 3 meters IC with a generic good quality copper solid core coaxial and i liked the sound a lot.
Of course the quality of the RCAs are also important.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
bg

- Perhaps because the frequency spectrum of a digital signal is less important than the cable's consisent impedance? - John Marks 06:49:34 03/22/14 (4)
