DC leakage from power amps
I found this link doing a search. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/amplifier-distortion-dc-offset-and-you.5634/ As a semi-poll, I’d like to see those on this board whip out their multimeters and take a look at the DC that is being pr...

Correction:In my post dated 09-01-2017 8:33pm The only fuse I have on hand is a 4 amp slow blow fuse. I have an older model Fluke 87 True RMS multimeter and I checked for resistance across the fuse link end caps. With the meter set on ohms auto f...

@kijanki,Thank you for your informative response. From what I understand the movement of the current in the conductor is quite slow.... Correct?Electric current is a flow of electric charge and not the flow of electrons.  (In fluids electric ch...

Al,Thanks again for your response. Thanks, Jim. Regarding...Am I correct in assuming watts is a measurement of electrical energy? Watts is a unit of power, as you of course realize. Power is a quantity that is defined at a specific instant of time...

Al, (almarg),Thank you for your responses to my questions. ... if only a voltage, (potential), is present, an electromagnet field will exist outside of the conductor/s without there being current... Correct? I’m not 100% certain, but I believe in...

@almarg,AC transmission using wire conductors. Al,Could you please explain in more detail the relationship of the electromagnetic wave, that travels in the space outside of the conductor, (At near the speed of light), and the "current" that trav...

almarg7,433 posts 08-23-2017 6:08pmHi Steve,You raise good questions, which get into some complexities that are not obvious."The signal," and the energy that it conveys, is conducted through neither of the conductors. It is conducted in the form ... 
Directionality of wire
Jea48 8-19-2017 Al,Question. Does the hot/signal conductor, of an IC, hold any more importance carrying the audio signal from the source to the load than the ground/return conductor?If yes please explain.If not please explain. almarg: 8/19/17I wou...
