Measurements and conclusion
Contents
The John van Gent shows neat values to our LCR meter. We see high conductivity – not surprising with gold and silver and nice connectors – and most importantly: low capacitance, resistance and inductance. If we put the JvG next to our Grimm TPM (about 500 Euro) we see that the JvG actually scores better in all areas: higher conductance, lower capacitance, lower inductance and lower resistance.
Compare with Grimm TPM
To explain a little:
- Conductance – the conductance of the cable – how good is the conductance (measured in Siemens)
- Susceptance – How does the cable allow a change in energy (current) (measured in Siemens, correlates with conductance and reactance)?
- Capacity – How much energy a cable stores (kind of capacitor action, measured in Farad)
- Induction – Electromagnetic action of the cable (measured in Henry)
- Resistance – Resistance of the cable – opposite of Conductance. (measured in Ohm)
- Impedance – The complex, frequency-dependent resistance of the cable – joint effect of resistance and reactance (resistance due to inductance and/or capacitance) (measured in Ohm).
