News Discussions & Theory behind WBT
April 7, 2002
News Letter from Lazaro Technologies Ltd. April 2002 Your Wireworld and WBT source Welcome members! 1. New Discussion Forum at lazarotech.com 2. Theory behind WBT **** 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. Robert Lazaro **** 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.
