Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
mihorn,Here is a response, from herman, to a post of mine to him.If you say the AC fuse blew because there was too much current flowing through it everybody nods in agreement even though that isn’t true. If you say the wire in the fuse melted beca... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
AL, (almarg)I am guilty of saying "current flows" in an AC circuit when answering questions regarding power branch circuits on audio forums. After reading Herman’s responses in this thread,https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/directional-cables ... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
georgelofi ,Your post, Just look at his website, then you’ll understand, why he can’t "see the forest through the trees."http://www.machinadynamica.com/index.html And he wants money for some of these bizzare things has corrupted the Agon page 2... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
jetter said:Repeat of a question I asked above (simplified).For single ended interconnects that do not have directional arrows, how can you determine at which end the the shield is connected?Or if the shield is connected at both ends or neithe... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
So, this begs the question: will the sound improve if the amplifier is placed lower than the source components so the electrons could travel more freely down hill following the direction in the cable? This might explain why most serious audiop... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
bflowers,IF the dedicated branch circuit wiring for the power amp is braided (hot, neutral, an IG ground conductors braided) together that might be the problem. Think of it as an 8ft shielded power cord. ( 3 braided conductors inside a steel outer... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
bflowers said:System incorporates isolated grounds and IG outlets.Is the branch circuit wiring installed in metal conduit? Steel or aluminum?IF yes, does each dedicated branch circuit have its’ own dedicated conduit? A true dedicated branch circui... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
georgelofi said: Yes differences in dielectric, the way the different insulated conductors are wound/twisted together.But not in the direction of the copper wire itself, as was stated!!George what proof do you have of your claim the wire cannot be... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
The audio signal energy travels in one direction in the form of an electromagnetic wave from the source to the load. If you accept this theory wire directionality can be better understood. It also explains how the type of dielectric used in ICs an...

Audio with sound off
I have a vintage Marantz 6300 TT I was having problems with maintaining a constant speed. The audio forums are full of others having the same problem. I took the TT to a local Dealer that has a great tech. He said the problem was a dirty Pot. I sa... 
Audio with sound off
That was the first thing I tried. The volume control is very clean no resistance turning, glides so easyYou can't feel if it's dirty just by rotating it. Pull the top cover and look to see if you can see the dual gang volume control pots. If not y... 
Audio with sound off
Sounds like a dirty volume control potentiometer. With the preamp turned off.You might try rotating it fairly fast back and forth several times through its' entire travel.If that doesn't help you will have to clean it with a good contact cleaner. ... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
LOL, believe it or not tests have been done using non breakable nylon duplex cover plates. I for one tried the nylon plate after Albert Porter posted he was using the P&S plates. Of course Albert’s post was back around 2005. I think the import... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
stickman451,Here is what I am using for a duplex plate. Works great. http://www.legrand.us/passandseymour/duplex-plates/unbreakable/standard/tp8la.aspx
