Three serious wiring mistakes that degrade the sound of your system
Having a top-notch system and wiring capable of highlighting its merits is certainly the foundation from which any audiophile worth his salt should start. It is equally important, however, not to get lost in a glass of water, ruining the performance of what one has purchased with years of effort, investment and study. After reading, in just a few minutes, this article on the blog Ricable, you will know with clarity three basic wiring mistakes never to make (or to correct immediately!) that degrade sound.
1st mistake: using the same socket for everything
The first thing to know is that you should avoid wall outlets with multiple in series, as well as poor quality multi-sockets. The main problems that arise when using them are overloads, interference generated by different appliances, and bottlenecks. The optimum would be to have two or three separate lines direct from the meter, but this is often difficult to achieve.
Therefore, a viable and at the same time more easily achievable alternative is to purchase a quality multi-socket or better yet a mains conditioner. Beware, however: in some cases customers have reported to us that these reduce listening dynamics, as do filtered multisockets.
2nd mistake: having coiled cables and tangles
The second problem is that cables, when coiled in a circular fashion, suffer from the antenna effect. This means that cable tangles promote interference between devices. The same thing happens when we find, in our system, too much proximity between the same components.
The solution, in this case, is to use shielded cables and take careful care in the placement of these. Also, if possible, it would be best to use cable ties to keep INTERCONNECT, Speaker and power cables separate.
3rd mistake: not giving importance to all types of cable
Lower quality cables create signal bottlenecks that cannot be remedied by better cables. As we have already had occasion to write, in fact, the cable does not improve the signal, but it makes it less worse. Lower quality cables, among other things, are more prone to external interference. Ultimately it is impractical, for example, to have a very good cable Speaker and INTERCONNECT and then use standard power cables. It defeats the good that the first two can do.
The solution is to place importance on the quality of all cables in the system, especially INTERCONNECT cables (both analog and digital), Speaker and alimetation cables, which are the ones that determine the outcome the most.
