| best way to go from balanced XLR - RCA (unbalanced) - anyone...? There is no advantage to what you are doing. There is advantage if he uses XLR cable and adapter with Jensen transformer. It will have superior electrical noise suppression because of balanced signal, but also because wires are twisted (twiste... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Under the influence of an applied voltage/electric field, I believe that ALL electrons do NOT travel axially, in a direction corresponding to the polarity of the applied voltage, just SOME of them do. I believe that some of them continue to move i... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Al, I mentioned Fermi velocity to show that drift velocity, speed of electrons and speed of electric charge are three different things. | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Therefore in this wire the electrons are flowing at the rate of 23 µm/s. At 60 Hz alternating current, this means that within half a cycle the electrons drift less than 0.2 μm. In other words, electrons flowing across the contact point in a switch... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Al, Herman is right - electric current (electricity) is a flow of electric charge. Current does not flow, current is - charge flows. The same is true in the river - water flows and current is. Unfortunately improper usage of "current flows" (in... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Drift velocity is average electron velocity since it is "net" axial velocity in one direction while electrons move in different directions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal The "electron drift" IS the electron velocity.No, it is not. Electron drift is AVERAGE speed of all electrons. Individual electrons move fast at about 1% of speed of light even without electric field (Fermi Velocity).No, actually that analogy in... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Jea48, It is all very confusing. AFAIK electric current (as motion of electric charge) in wire moves very fast - close to speed of light. Individual electrons also travel fast at about 1% of the light speed (2000km/s) but they move in differen... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal From what I understand the movement of the current in the conductor is quite slow.... Correct?Electric current is a flow of electric charge and not the flow of electrons. (In fluids electric charge is carried by ions and not the electrons). Numb... | |
| Opinion: Turning Off the Filtering There is a spot if front of the speakers in the middle of my room, where I get much better (almost perfect) image and separation of instruments. Unfortunately coffee table is there and I cannot move it (Wife Factor). Hey single people - you have... | |
| Opinion: Turning Off the Filtering Erik, perhaps it is a little bit like macular degeneration. Your vision has black spot growing, but you don't know about it (until it is too late) because brain is hiding it from us. Before they discovered Transient Intermodulation Distortions (... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Thank you Jim. Al is known for his knowledge and willingness to help others. He is also much better in explaining things. Al, have you ever been a teacher? | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Thank you Al. I'm not sure if AZ Absolute ICs are really better in my system or just sound better because of "expectation bias" - either way outcome is the same :) | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geofkaitt, Yes, it is about 66% = 5ns/m (I inverted it wrong). Teflon is probably a little faster. They also use foam Teflon to lower dielectric constant. In addition wires can be in the hollow tubes since dielectric constant of the air is pre... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Dielectric constant of Teflon is about 2. Vacuum has dielectric constant of 1. Yes, Teflon will slow down electromagnetic wave. Insulator will slow down electromagnetic wave by amount based on its ability to store energy - Permittivity. Dielectric... |
