To all, before we too sidetracked, let's try to focus on what we were talking about for a second. What we were talking about is the electromagnetic wave that is the audio signal. We only mentioned magnetic fields when magnets were brought up. Now, just to set the record straight, the magnetic field induced by current flow through wire or by a transformer is not the same as the electromagnetic field of the signal which, as we already pointed out, travels at the speed of light, or close to it, you know, being that the electromagnetic wave is made up of photons. The magnetic field is a different beast, as Mapman learned in Electricity 101, assuming he remembers anything. (He can always consult Maxwell's equations if he needs a fresher.) So, the question on the table is how a magnet which produces a magnetic field, not an electromagnetic wave, can influence the signal which is composed of photons that, if recall from Electricity 101, have no mass? Or have we kind of come to the conclusion that we actually don't care about how it all works as long as it works. Lol
