New Discussion Forum

Lazaro Tech’s new web page has been greatly received for
the quick Wireworld and WBT information source. Is has also
been suggested by members for a discussion forum where
audiophiles can come in and share ideas, or give
suggestions with one another.

We, audiophiles are a small group of people in search for
the best solutions to bring the most from our equipment
which we have invested; some more heavily then others.
Remember that the end result is perfection in realism.

Theory behind WBT

Several people come up to me and ask what does WBT stands
for. Well I never thought of that, which made me look it up
for an answer. It is actually the founder’s initials.
Stands for Wolfgang B. Thoerner.

What makes WBT so different from other connector
manufactures? WBT took some electrical connection
techniques and applied it to connectors such as a RCAs
plug. Where usually these connectors were soldered onto the
wires to link two different metal alloys together. When you
solder, you need to apply very high heat that may cause
degrading or modify the characteristics of the cable itself
by adding resistance to the termination. With the
electrical technique of crimping, you now do not add
resistance from soldering but making a high pressure
contact area that makes an enormous audio able difference.

The good connection between the cable and the connector is
good but what about the plug to the equipment such a banana
connection from your power amp to the speakers. Are you
confidant that these cables are firmly connected to your
speakers to deliver the maximum power transfer and that
they won’t slide off loose and short together, causing you
more grief in replacing or repairing your amplifier? Most
people don’t consider this from happening until it happens
to you. Here WBT goes yet the extra step, of what made them
famous, and that is, for example a firm pressure contact
inside a banana barrel. This has been a problem for many
years and many connector manufactures developed spring
loaded leafs and or rings, which only caused headaches. WBT
connectors came up with a solution that is truly
impressive. The expanding tips! This makes the ultimate
connection between your equipment a dream. Not only trouble
free but best of all, an ultimate strong connection to
transfer these signals.
