Simple question, or is it...
I would like to add, that it is as far as I can understand it and, of course, I can be wrong  (I was wrong once in 1964)  :)  
Simple question, or is it...
Electric charge moves together with electromagnetic wave at fraction of the speed of light in vacuum, dependent on dielectric (60-70%).What moves slowly in the wire is electron (drift velocity) - practically standing still at the audio frequencies... 
What the heck do these terms mean?
Dry, wet, organic, musical - it reminds me color selection in a movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s33ScN4D-HU

"Way too much info"Guilty as charged  :) 
Simple question, or is it...
When you use just plain lamp cord, energy flows between wires. It is strictly not between wires since electric fields bends, but also outside of the cable in-between planes like picture below shows:https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2... 
Simple question, or is it...
Electric current in the cable is a flow of electric charge.  Exactly the same amount of electric charge that leaves the source comes back to it.  Energy is delivered from source to load by electromagnetic field in between wires.  It is called Poyn... 
Do we ask too much of our audio systems?
I agree, you can get very close since sound at the concerts is often pretty bad (nose bleed seats or poor acoustics).  On the other hand some systems cost so much that it might be better to invite symphony orchestra into living room (multiple time... 
Ferrofluid questions.
@cbrents73   Thank you. 
Ferrofluid questions.
One day I'll have to replace ferrofluid as well.  Not only in tweeters but also in 6" midrange that uses it for suspension (no spiderweb suspension).   I know it can be obtained from Parts Express or Madison Speaker Store, but wonder if there is o... 
Reliable Digital Music Storage
I also found interesting chart at the bottom of this article:https://www.premiumusb.com/blog/how-long-can-usb-drives-lastIt shows 51 years average data retention for SSD.

Mirroring does not give you full protection. Controller fault, virus etc. can wipe all of them. I just keep two unpowered copies of my mechanical drive - one at home and on in the bank vault (in case of theft, fire, flood etc.) Unpowered mechanica... 
Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for?
I made some searching on oscilloscopes and concluded that non-toy scope starts at about $200.  There are three companies wort consideration: Siglent, Rigol (about the same) and Owon or Uni-T at the lower end.  Cheapest you can get is Hanmatek exac... 
CD Treatment
AFAIK Reed Solomon corrects errors caused by circular scratches up to about 4mm long.  For scratches 4-8mm it interpolates data.  For >8mm it misses the data with possible pop/click.  Computer (and some CDPs) can read the same sector multiple t...

fundsgon, Allergy to a beer? I'm so sorry man. 
Is there a difference in sound between a coax cable and an optical one?
shtinkydog, nobody can answer that, since it is system dependent.  Optical should be better, because it does nor create ground loops and is not sensitive to any electrical ambient noise, but on it is very susceptible to a system noise. System nois...
