Bruinsrme Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 What is the difference between a Subwoofer cable and an audio interconnect or a video cable or a digital coax. Besides shielding what is the real difference? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 none, they all let electrons flow through them however, the ease at which the electrons flow can be different between various types. Cross-sectional area (the wire guage) and the materials it is made out of are the two factors that affect the flow. As long as the wire allows enough electron flow, you will hear no difference between cables (even though u might find the slightest changes with sensitve measuring equipment). Then their is shielding and balanced cables which try to minimize outside interference. If you are experiencing interference, then you will need to look into cables that will counteract it. Balanced cables nearly always are able to accomplish this, but very little consumer gear utilizes this format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
