Speaker cable arrows???
Also, the way I always see the skin effect stated, the “high frequencies” travel nearer to the surface - but not outside the conductor - whereas lower frequencies travel closer to the center of the conductor. Is that completely wrong? Not wrong, b... 
Speaker cable arrows???
So, you believe the “audio signal” travels inside the conductor, right? Regardless of whether the skin effect applies or not. I’ll ask again, the frequency of what?It's moot where the "signal" moves, what matters is if the effects are relevant a...

While Ralph Morrison is not the last word on electromagnetism, I am not questioning his expertise, because I did read your links (and have one of his books), and there is nothing in them that disagrees with what I wrote Jea48. I am not questioning... 
Speaker cable arrows???
And if you are late on a customer deliverable, they will travel anywhere but where you want them to be.In digital circuits the signal and energy travel in thespaces between the traces or between the traces and the conducting surfaces.... but I dig...

Don't ask me, I can't even get it out of the roll without putting a ton or kinks in it ;-)Oh crap my home depot wire is not marked with the direction I should install them. Does anyone know which direction will work best? I'm freaking out here. 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!
I don't have a problem with that. If I post something similar, I hope he does the same to me.- If you are seeing 40W of losses on a 140W output amplifier, you are either using a power cord way too small for the application and unsafe, you have som...

I don't remember ever saying I have an audio equipment company, which is not to say I have not been involved in the research, design, measurement, and professional evaluation (and I don't mean magazine review) of acoustic, electro-acoustic and ele... 
Interesting Fed Ex encounter...
Call tags are for return shipping. Makes sense. I usually ship customers the paper work as I am shipping cross-border so much it just makes more sense.

Mr. Geoffkait, I don't think it best to quote HowItWorks articles that poorly quote Wikipedia. The result can be less than coherent. Take this sentence,The voice coil's electromagnet is placed within a permanent magnetic field. The two magnets in... 
Interesting Fed Ex encounter...
My personal experience is that FEDEX customer service can be pretty awful, and for all the tracking, other than what is in the computer, realistically they know nothing.  I would still take them 10x over UPS. I find FEDEX far more reliable.There i... 
What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
The first step to solving a problem, is admitting you have one ... and you already have done that below :-)I am pretty confident in the position that electronics do not recreate a soundstage (that probably was not on the recording in the first pla...

I am going to call BS on this, or at least poor measurement. A 10 foot long 18awg cord at 15 amps (well over rated current) would be about 2.5V. A much more typical connection for 15A would be 14awg, and say 6 feet or about a 0.6V drop and 9 watts...

Assuming I have the correct Ted, that is probably an insult to Ted ... Bundy :-)I assume Ted Bundy. 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
This is not what double insulated means. Double insulated means that no single failure point can result in dangerous voltages (with or without equipment grounding). That could be two layers of insulation or reinforced insulation.The ground connect... 
Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?
Unless Vandersteen knows what your amplifier or wires are, there would be no way to predict the outcome, based on the rest of what you wrote. Products often incorporate designers "beliefs" which may or may not agree with reality.I’ll trust the spe...
