| Directional wires/cables @mclinnguy Said: 02-12-2025 at 04:29pm I would interpret "immediately" to mean small fractions of a second after flipping the switch, after the energy in the lines has completely been absorbed by the load. I think the answer is instantly. Th... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 The Energy travels from the source >>> to the load (in one direction) Okay, I got a simpler question, what if the load is disconnected before the energy gets there, what happens to that energy? It breaks the circuit. No c... | |
| Directional wires/cables @mclinnguy Said: For my own curiosity wondering how far the "signal" would go: From what I gather this "signal" travels in this medium at a rate of 0.7c, or about 195,000 km per second, so at 60Hz every 0.0167 seconds the energy wave can travel ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jeffbij said: But @jea48, your last paragraph just made my brain explode. Does that mean if Jimmy Page plays a cord on his guitar in LA that they can't hear it in NYC. LOL You referring to this? I don’t know why cables are directional. I... | |
| Directional wires/cables @mclinnguy I watched the video on cable directionality. The guy thinks the signal travels back and forth in the wire. It doesn’t. If it did then cheap PVC insulation would be all that is needed for the dielectric used to cover the bare wire. ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999, Thanks. Were it the DC voltage/current, from an amp's power supply, modulated by the amp's output devices, into an amplified musical signal; it would appear much more complex, but: still a sinusoidal wave. ... | |
| Directional wires/cables I’ve referenced this I don’t know many times over the years. The article is from 1993. Old yes. Wires have been around a lot longer than that. Actual measurements for those that say, "If it can’t be measured then it can’t be true." After measur... | |
| Directional wires/cables Wow, all this technobabble is giving me a splitting headache. I received my EE in 1976. @stereo5 Were you taught the signal travels in the wire or travels in the spaces between the wires? . | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 Said The ’S’ stands for Sinousoidal electric field, which when combined with it’s magnetic field, results in the Poynting vector that determines the direction and strength of an electromagnetic wave’s energy* flow. *our systems’ AC... | |
| Directional wires/cables I should have posted this in my post above 02-11-2025 at 01:12pm The Late Robert Crump. One example of who he was. TG Audio Lab SLVR Power Inlet Cords (August 2002) . | |
| Directional wires/cables @retiredaudioguy said; However, to the dismay of audiophiles, and the profit margin of cable manufacturers, the velocity of the wave along the wire is dependent of the electrical characteristics of the wire - which are dependent on the physical ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @retiredaudioguy said: It would seem to me that the best construction using drawn cable would be that each of the two conductors be a pair of wires, arranged in opposing directions to minimize the grain structure distortion. Does anyone know of... | |
| Directional wires/cables Edit:. "Preview" shows the image. "Save" it doesn’t show the illustration of the coax cable . Anyway look at the coax cable illustration in the Link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector Illustration of electromagnetic power flow insi... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda said: I was talking to my dealer about how good the system sounds that he sold me. I mentioned that I had tried some new speaker/interconnect cables from a local amp/cable manufacturer & both I and the company boss agreed that there w... | |
| Thickest Power cord with Power distributor? @OP, I see you live in Germany. Voltage is 230V I believe. From what I have read Germany does not ground the electrical service like we do here in the U.S. Can you shed any light on how the electrical service is grounded in your area in Germany?... |
