Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
Al, (almarg),Thanks for your response. I missed the line voltage for the amp is 240V. I went back and reread the post and sure enough the OP said it was 240V for the new amp as well.Here is the thread. scroll down to bflowers first post on the thr...

Kijanki,Thanks for the response.I had already read about the Poynting vector  after you posted about it on another thread last week. I supplied the link for others reading your previous post.Jim

mihorn said: I have copper rods instead of fuses in my few components. Copper rods in the correct direction always sound better. I am an audiophile, not an electrical engineer. What protection do you have in the event of an overload or ground faul...

Either way its a red herring and has nothing to do with directionality nor suggests a means for directionality. I never said it did. I said AC current does not flow in a circuit. AC does not flow back and forth in a circuit. “The usually accepted...

atmasphere said: That energy cannot exist without the current flow. You are correct in that electromagnetism is always there but it can’t exist without current! This link might help sort things out for you:Quote from Link below:"Those of you who f...

The fuse is a weakest link. In a garden hose, only narrowest part of hose counts to pass the max water. A weakest link is very sensitive. What has happened in the weakest link is amplified huge later. A sound system is only as good as its weakest ...

mihorn,My post was in response to this part of your post; That includes fuses in > 30~40 years old vintage gears. Switching the direction of the fuse, the electrical current takes longer time (and subtle) to hear the effect because many active ...

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?
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...
