> That's a lot of extra connections for a teeny tiny electrical signal to pass through. This is a common misconception about electricity. The number of connections have no greater impact on a very low current electrical signal as on a high current signal. In other words, if there is any sort of negative effect regarding these connections, it makes no difference whatsoever whether the electrical signal is in microamperes or amperes. Furthermore, if the connections are constructed properly, they will have negligible impact on the signal. In order to make sure electrical connections have the least impact on any electrical signals, it is important to use a contact enhancer such as Caig DeoxIT Gold on all unplugable connections. For solder connections it is important to use the best solder. Connection points increase resistance. However, when done properly any additional resistance will be negligible. In fact, the additional resistance from running 33-gauge wire an extra meter to your preamp will probably be 100-times greater than the resistance of six additional connections done properly.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking! nt, posted on January 30, 2015 at 12:59:19 | |
