all are inter-related.. as for power cables anything thicker than your thumb will likely be bordering on 3-phase use not single phase use.. Number of phases has nothing to cable AWG. AWG determines the current carrying capacity of a conductor and not the voltage. For instance, car jumper cables are really thick since they carry a lot of current, even though the voltage is only ~12VDC. On the flip side you could run a 5 horsepower 480VAC motor using thin little 18 awg wire. Always make sure the insulation of the cable is rated as high or higher then your voltage. |

Well, I might like to try a few but it depends???  Is shipping included?? ;D We ship all our risers via interstellar light-speed courier, free of charge. Little painted arrows are available for an additional $49, in a choice of colors to match you listening room. Ah, those are our special balanced L/R risers, which are our flagship model and currently back-ordered. After extensive testing, we determined that Suriname Snakewood didn't offer a tubey enough sound and while the bloodwood spaced risers, if combined with certain electronics or speakers, do indeed take on a bit of murk, those types of electronics and speakers were just too low-end for our discriminating customers and the bloodwood spacers offered all the clarity and detail those audio connoisseurs who truly appreciate a transcendent, high-end experience, where money is no object, could possibly desire. You guys are all crazy. For one thing, NO speaker riser is going to be all that good because no matter what, you have something that is lifting up the cord from the ground and that something is still touching the ground. So it is being a conduit for evil gremlin things to go from the carpet to your cable. My solution is to HANG threads from the ceiling with a loop at the bottom and you run the speaker cable through those loops. That way nothing is touching the carpet. Plus, gremlins cannot walk up walls so they have no business being on the ceiling. And my solution is only $100 per thread, a lot cheaper than that ineffective thing you propose. So nyah. ;D This is pure placebo, plain and simple. It is the hypnotic effect caused by the blue lights of your gear refracting/reflecting from the strands of your wire/thread/line that induce the belief that your sound quality has improved. By the way, these special risers will be on sale through the end of May for an additional .00000000001% off! Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime pricing! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I'm waiting for the reviews to come out. Already there's some negative buzz in some other forums, and some are claiming that this "Bloodwood" is really only a cheap vinyl veneer attached with NON AUDIO GRADE glue (School Paste) to a Luan ply core. Appears that these cable risers are really built to a price point (by child labor, hence the use of school paste). Just seems sort of unethical to me to disguise this greed-fueled profiteering endeavor to your labor force as a Cub Scout group project. "Toys for needy children?" I'm aghast! For Shame!!! ;D |
