| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Aball, you are the one who first stated that the arrows were in the direction of the current! Surely, as an EE, you didn't mean that, but meant the direction of the signal.As for the shield concept indicating the direction of the cable, well we co... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables My last word on this subject, which might cause more discussion!!Electrons don't travel down cables like water through a pipe. They are transferred from one atom in the conductor to another, somewhat like pressure in a hydraulic line is transferre... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables 'Before this I had known that there must be some current to transport those bits(information) to the next stage.'There is current to transport the information and it is DC. The signal is essentially varying voltage representing the numbers and the... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables 'If analog audio is AC, then doesn't that also defeat the purpose of direcional arrows on interconnects as well as speaker cables?'In a nutshell, yes! BUT, the arrows (if these exist) could indicate where the shield is connected, usually at the pr... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Carl, all signals in analogue are AC and therefore non directional. Circuits containing capacitors and coils cannot function on DC, they need the current to alternate at different frequencies to do their jobs.The ouputs from digital device are sim... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Fatparrot, I'll take the mention of lawyer as a compliment and not the insult that some might!That 'technicality' as you put it, however, is a very important one and the biggest stumbling block for those who might want to convince others that dire... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Ryder, The stream of information is not AC and not analagous to the voltage information before encoding into digital, i.e. numbers. The numbers (information) are carryied to the next stage and then decoded back into an analagous varying voltage + ... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Ryder, you are talking about a different 'animal' with digital cables, since they do not carry AC signals but a stream of information to the next stage. There might be a difference in the cables' capabilities depending on direction. As for hearing... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Ryder and Fatparrot, how do you reconcile your statements that the current flows in one direction with the fact that the current actually reverses its flow continuously and variably from 20 to 20000 times a second.Bob P. | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Unless a cable is shielded and one wishs to know a which end the ground (shield)should be connected, directionality in cables carrying alternating current (which speaker cables do) is a marketing feature. Same goes for directionality of fuses in a... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? John,Since a speaker is essentially a linear electric motor it works only if the voltage and current vary creating a magnetic field analogue to the waveform - hence the current is alternating according to frequency of the signal.The voltage at the... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Notwithstanding the statements about jumpers making a difference and connecting at either the high or low side, cross wiring + to hi and - to low, cannot make any difference since the current is AC and effectively the + & - change continuously... | |
| B&O turntable question Modern equipment has standardized with Red for Right and white (or any other colour)for left.In your case, try Black as left and the grey as right. A test disc would be handy to identify which cable is which.Bob P. | |
| why don't they get it? Of course, back when the Kenwood tuner you bought was made, people said the same thing about equipment that was made in the 50s and 60s - 'built when pride and sound were important factors and not these fancy transistor things, but good reliable t... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System So, Joeyboynj, Don knows how those effects work, but is keeping it secret from you? Bob P. |
