| 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... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geoffkait, electric charge still travels back and forth inside of the wire between terminals hence skin effect still applies. It starts for the copper at 20kHz at about gauge 18. Al was only explaining difference between electric charge travell... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Great post Al. | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies Shielded audio fuses? That has to sound wonderful - even term "Shielded Audio Fuse" sounds wonderful. | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies AFAIK, Graphene was invented as a remedy againts rheumatism and psoriasis. Oh wait, that was snake oil. My bad.Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, conducts well in temperatures close to absolute zero and can be used as zero gap semiconduc... | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies Coiled wire - not coiled cable. Individual straight wire already has inductance. Coiling just increases amount of it. Coiling speaker cable increases inductance for common mode but not for differential signals. For differential signals inductan... |
