my MCSE teacher said that LAN cabling comes 'factory set' with a certain impedence on it. If i were to want to mess around with altering the impedence shown on the amp, could i do so with this type of method?
I have a feeling it is more complicated than NOT, but ya know...

any ideas?

that and it won't be the same as using a huge transformer.it'd be more like putting a resister in your circuit to change the impedance.... wasted power basically.

all wire has resistance. for one..

LAN cables, and coax cable for cable TV has a certain impedance associated with it. But the cable itself will still have a small resistance per length. The 75 ohm rating for cable TV only applies at the high frequencies that the TV signal is using. For Audio frequencies the resistance will still be small.

The only way to do what you want to do is to use a large, multitap transformer that is built to work in the frequency range you want to run (read- EXPENSIVE).

Once again, the intelligence level of these forums astounds me!

Either you mis-understood him or he doesn't know what he is talking about !!
Depends what cable he was talking about too, UTP or COAX ??
