[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 73397, member: 24"] I am extremely familiar with Bennett's article and I have followed it in my own practice. I am not concerned with damping as a spec on amps, modern or otherwise. Because in my practice I try to have cables as large as possible and as short as possible I am not familiar with what damping would sound like, and my eyes tell me that 100 feet of 18 gauge is a bad idea and my ears tell me there is a problem. I would like to know if the problem I see is a likely cause of the problem I hear before I recommend rewiring. Based on Arts math and Bennett's article, the damping factor must be in the single digits. What neither of those sources account for is the change on the sound during the course of the show, unless something was heating enough to change its impedance. [/QUOTE]
