| Directional wires/cables I believe that is more in lines with roughing in the electrical to the rooms, but more in line with this thread, I am curious if were able to see the power cords connecting those machines; any directionality on them? Nope... I wouldn’t even br... | |
| Directional wires/cables Okay, I was kinda done with this thread, but in response to this: Can’t happen... The energy travels at near the speed of light. It’s at the light bulb the instant the contact closure completes the circuit... It’s that Fast! Ponder this: You... | |
| Directional wires/cables @richardbrand As for this: richardbrand 302 posts 02-20-2025 at 09:25pm @jea48 I think the answer is instantly. The switch is opened, Games over. This was in response to what happens when a light is switched off, a... | |
| Directional wires/cables @richardbrand Said: @jea48 I seem to recall that in another post you said you learnt your electricity from this forum? No, I actually said: I first learned how electricity works here on Agon in 2010. Oddly the thread was titled "directiona... | |
| Directional wires/cables @richardbrand Said: AC or Alternating Current flows for a short period in one direction, then reverses direction repeatedly. Analog audio signals are AC, and current flows as a result, in speaker and interconnect cables alike. Current is the ne... | |
| DAC break-in question Can I just stream to a DAC and keep the amplifier off (the Dac is running and showing the sample rates, etc)? Or does a signal need to be getting to the actual amplifier? My amp is Class A and I do not want to leave it running. My understandin... | |

| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999, Would I be wrong saying nothing, life, would exist without EM waves? I ran across this video years ago which, to me, says life would not exist. Electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum (To watch the video X out of... | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." "As usual, this review is not sponsored (nor does any company get to preview anything I review), and I don’t take any advertiser money from any companies I review." How many reviewers are required by the manufacturer to send back the equipment ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @r27y8u92 I like this quote from Ralph Morrison. If we accept the idea that fields carry energy in space, it must be true at all frequencies. That is the law. If it is true for light, it must also be true for 60Hz power and at DC. For utility ... | |
| What is the true impact of power supply differences - Japan, US, Australia? @richardbrand I found this YouTube video on the Net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0_1xRqT8uU It appears there are three options for Mother Earth Grounding. One as described in my post above. Note the mention of the RCD breaker. That ... | |
| What is the true impact of power supply differences - Japan, US, Australia? @richardbrand Your Utility Power distribution system method used in Australia is different than ours here in the U.S. You use a 3 phase 4 wire power system to feed a housing development as you mentioned in your thread. Here is part of a white ... | |
| 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 ... |
