| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48, directionality of a metal conductor is produced by the orientation of the crystal structure as it is pulled through the final die. As least that's what I think. The directionality is independent of the velocity of the signal, I.e., the audi... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction If the signal is altered from one end of the cable to the other it is absolutely able to measured in a scope. That is what scopes excel at, measuring signals.So we can measure a bunch of different frequencies and see what happens to the signal, fl... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Kijanki,Thank you for responding to my question.12-18-14: KijankiJea48, I don't know if conductor can be directional but copper oxides are semiconductors. Their orientation might be related to grain orientation - a question for metallurgist.AFAIK ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction An experiment for those of you that use a CD transport and a separate DAC.If your digital coax cable has a solid core center conductor try this experiment.First listen to a good sounding CD with a strong female voice. Find a particular track you l... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction The whole directionality thing really digs at me and does damage to our hobby. 12-18-14: ScvanI strongly disagree...>>>>>>>>>> Scvan,Did you miss this earlier post of mine? 12-18-14: Jea48Sure cables can sound differe... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Geoffkait,No.What I am looking for, when applying the theory how an analog signal travels down a wire, can a conductor be directional, especially in the case of solid core silver wire? For simplicity to start with, just a bare solid core silver wi... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Sure cables can sound different. Crappy ones sound different from good ones. 12-17-14: ScvanScvan,Can you measure the differences on a scope?. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction .....,are you a electrical engineer?12-17-14: AudiolabyrinthNo, but I did stay at a Radisson Inn once.I must have lead a sheltered life until 5-17-10 when I read a response by Herman to a thread here on Agon. My first thought was, what planet is t... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction People that think there is some magic in audio cables which are relatively low frequency cables and really not all that high current. There isn't. It can be measured. Unless you have an amp that is outputting a constant DC signal at above a certai... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Geoffkait,Does this satisfy your fancy better?.Quote from link below.ELECTRIC CURRENT IS A FLOW OF ENERGY? Wrong. Electric current is not a flow of energy; it's a flow of charge. Charge and energy are two very different things. To separate them in... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction I have to laugh at this thread. There is no net displacement of electrons in speaker cables, they move back and forth to reverse the polarity, it's AC current. They cetainly don't flow like water through a hose. Directionality is a marketing gimmi... | |
| No ground wire??? Back in 1961 steel boxes were used for rough-in boxes along with 2 wire Romex. In this case the metal box would not be grounded. A quick look inside would reveal a Romex clamp with a screw in the middle of the clamp holding down the Romex in place... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Different tubes, different companies, active devices, of course there is a difference. And as they break in there is a difference. Real reasons, and not all unmeasureable. 12-09-14: OmsedWell apparently I did not make myself clear, sorry about tha... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,For what it's worth had the 120V branch circuit that feeds the variac been protected by an AFCI,(Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), breaker the breaker would have tripped open when the variac started series arcing. I am just not sure if under... | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Outlier,For what the Joule Electra VZN-160 amps retailed for new I would buy the variac the manufacture recommends from the manufacture. From your last post there is a lot more going on than just varying the voltage to the amps. It sounds like the... |
