Directional speaker cables - switching direction
Jea48, directionality of a metal conductor is produced by the orientation of the crystal structure as it is pulled through the final die. As least that's what I think. The directionality is independent of the velocity of the signal, I.e., the audi... 
worst sounding great lps
Bop Til You Drop. What a catastrophe.

Kijanki wrote,"AFAIK dielectric affects speed of current. This speed is not a light speed but closer to 60% of it (5ns/m). I believe this speed is inversely proportional to square root of dielectric constant. Teflon dielectric offers the highest s...

Jea48, that's a different question. The speed of photons in a medium is a constant. In a vacuum we know it's the speed of light. In copper the speed is some percentage of the speed of light, IIRC about 70% times c. So, I don't think the dielectric...

Jea48, the speed of propagation depends mostly on the medium. Since the electromagnetic wave is comprised of photons, it propagates at light speed in a vacuum but somewhat less in a metal conductor. All the other things you mention are pretty irre...

Yes, current is flowing both ways. But the signal is only flowing in one direction. You don't listen to the current. Hel-loo!

Jea48, I think if you sift through all the words and agree that the (audio) signal through copper cable/wire propagates at near light speed what's a couple feet difference in cable length between friends? We are talking about speaker cables, no? C... 
Uneven speaker cable lengths?
The difference, if any, in the sound quality as a results of unequal cable lengths, you know, given the near light speed of the electromagnetic wave down the cable would undoubtedly be overwhelmed by room anomalies, magnetic field interference pro...

Well, whoever wrote it most likely never saw the inside of a physics book. Maybe any book.

You haven't seen her in weeks? How about six months? Time goes by fast when you're having fun.

As it turns out Elizabeth is an English major. Does anyone see the irony? 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
With $100K turntables and $15K cartridges you sure as shootin' better have vinyl. Besides digital still can't get their act together. Sounds like dead people playing. 
WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips
They're very likely like the Intelligent Chip, specifically "programmed" to produce photons with specific wavelengths depending on where they're placed. Intelligent chips, not the Orange ones, but ones programmed differently, can be used on cables... 
Crystal Clear Audio vs. Stage III Concepts
Two nines is 99% if I'm not mistaken, this six nines is actually 99.9999%. (I am a technical guru.) 
Oppo 103 freezing.........
Pretty sure Oppo has a help desk.
