connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal
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...

Al (almarg) and kijanki,I would trust your "expectation bias" over some others so called facts any day.Thank you both for your contributions to this audio forum. I never stop learning from what the two of you have to say. Sometimes I may not fully...

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... 
Directionality of wire
@geoffkait Excerpts from your last post. Obviously Bob thinks wire per se is very directional. He actually said extremely directional. The only question is if he’s right the way he places the directional wires in the cable - one wire in one dir...

almarg7,423 posts                                                                         08-18-2017 7:59pmAs for the "why" of whatever intrinsic directionality wire may possess, I note that even he says "I don’t want to speculate why wire is dir... 
Directionality of wire
Al, (almarg) response, Yes, I see that now, Jim. He does not say, at least in that thread, that cables are directional; he is just addressing the wire itself. Yet it is also true, as we are saying, that the cable configuration he recommends would ...
