In Reply to: RE: Question about dynamic range and IC electrical parameters posted by Awe-d-o-file on February 02, 2017 at 12:54:46
What happened was I swap the cable. Then, at the same exact spot on the volume control. (I mean after years one really gets to KNOW where on the volume one wants in advance.. Yes)
Well, no.. Listening to wide range Classical, I hear the soft passages starting the piece as barely audible.. So I turn it up.. Then the full orchestra comes on and BLAM!!! it it too damn loud!THIS is what I mean by annoying.
I guess I ENJOYED the compressed dynamics I had for years and years..
And suddenly I have to get used to a whole new WIDER range.
((Old and cranky, does NOT like surprises... ))Now, months later, I am used to it as it is now. But back when I got the cable, (fuming WTF) I guess I just was not ready for a REAL improvement...)
As for the components, etc. I cannot see HOW telling anyone anything could matter at all.
Those things would totally move the question away, as you are trying to do. (You cannot see HOW it could be? And to your 'it must be some other thing')So no I will not list a damn thing. LOL
And again ask. What could make a cable, electrically, be able to bring a major increase in dynamic range? That many other cables failed to have.
And no nothing was broken or mis-wired... All cables used from pre to amp were balanced and the same long length
(that is a hint.. The cable position in question is pretty long... well over one meter. ((But I feel like even saying this is a cheat, so folks can 'make up' fantasy about the length, instead of working on the actual question))
Added: I had tried, long ago a 1/2 as long cable, strung direct from pre to amp instead of running it around stuff. it also had the old lesser dynamic range..

you're in the best position to answer your own question. You have the answer (cable) in your hands and the science behind it sounds expensive.
And now LOL you won't share any information AND/OR tell us what this great cable is so we can share/discuss it with you.
Oops. I've been spending too much time writing this post instead of "working" on your question.
And I will... as soon as I figure out what screws are used in a Lavardin amp.

you shouldn't have removed it.
Sorry for your selective acceptance of advice, probing, and suggestions from "some cable asylum". We're trying.
But I'll say it again... the answer is in your hands. You have a situation where you might consider getting information from the dealer/manufacturer. And certainly you have criteria/specs/build which led you to purchase them in the first place. The cable Asylum would sincerely be interested in knowing, now that you brought the topic up.
Isn't that the point of the Asylum? It's not a quiz show where you are both master and winner.
By the way... you did buy these from a reputable dealer, and not eBay? If they are counterfeit, could be harder to help you.
Always enjoying your posts.
Cheers #5!

"I know just enough to get into trouble. But not enough to get out of it."
This phenomenon was an interesting side thing. I had an experience. I really did not think about it much.
THen I though maybe someone could give me a bit of insight.
The fact it was turned into a pot of shit.. Well, what should I expect?
True I am 'holding back' But as I wrote, In my mind the actual parts and any discussion of the parts would really not forward any thoughts on what the cable itself be doing.
Now maybe it IS that all the other cables I used were restricting dynamic range? Well OK, but HOW? What exactly is it electrically, that does this in a wire. Seems simple enough!
Cable impedance reacting with the source impedance and the load impedance
will determine what a cable will sound like. Cable impedance is resistance, inductance and capacitance of the cable. Enclosure of the wire also effects the impedance. These parameters were why people wanted to know the equipment you are using. The same cable will sound different with different equipment
Alan
Construction, metallurgy, dielectric, shielding, gauge, direction, will all have an effect on background noise, interference, microphonics and the overall sound. Even the terminations. We all know that.
We also know that cables sound different depending on the components. So now we are talking impedance, capacitance and inductance.
The cables you are now using increase dynamic range. I guess if nothing else, it goes to show that cables do sound different.
Kudo's to the manufacturer. And a good find for you.
Maybe someone on the Asylum can still shed some light on the "theory" of restrictions and revelations of dynamic range in cable design. Unlike using golden rules to build speaker cabinets, I don't know if anything exists for cables.
Cheers!

"I know just enough to get into trouble. But not enough to get out of it."
so dont list a damn thing even though it might help. i didnt ask for make a model i asked for construction and design parameters. it will help and i ask with no intention of saying it is something else but as data gathering to solve a conundrum. sorry to hear you dont seem to like like better dynamic range and didnt instantly embrace it. It is a big thing that separates music as performed vs recorded and played through electronics and seekers of better sound search to achieve. if a chef made a dish different than you had ever had it before the ingredients would be a way to understand why. same follows here. now do you understand?
