Directionality of wire
Thank you for the excellent question. AudioQuest provided an NRG-10 AC cable for the evaluation. Like all AudioQuest cables, our AC cables use solid conductors that are carefully controlled for low-noise directionality. We see this as a benefit for all applications -- one that becomes especially important when discussing our Niagara units. Because our AC cables use conductors that have been properly controlled for low-noise directionality, they complement the Niagara System’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation Technology. Other AC cables would work, but may or may not allow the Niagara to reach its full potential. If you'd like more information on our use of directionality to minimize the harmful effects of high-frequency noise, please visit http://www.audioquest.com/directionality-its-all-about-noise/ or the Niagara 1000's owner's manual (available on our website).
Thanks again.

jea48, let me help you out by summarizing the last couple weeks: I explain very patiently why AC electricity cannot explain away wire directionality while everyone else either doesn’t understand plain English or cannot follow simple logic or puts words in my mouth I didn't say. Remind me to repost the bit on pathological skepticism again sometime. By the way, no matter what format one uses for posting someone will always complain, sure as shootin’.

nonoise 2,643 posts 08-16-2017 12:34pm I had trouble getting the thing to work using the old internet explorer. Sometimes I could get it to work while other times it would not. Then sometimes the damn thing would not leave a space below the grey vertical line for me to post a message. With Mozilla Firefox It seems to work fine. Though sometimes I have to click on it again to get it, the grey vertical line, to show in the message box. Practice makes perfect. We’ll see if geoffkait takes the time to get it to work for him.

Something that has not been mentioned, I do not believe, is the dielectric insulator used to cover the IC and speaker cable wires. The type of insulation covering over the wire may influence cable direction. Especially if the cables were broken-in in one direction and then reversed for what ever reason and hooked back up in the opposite direction. Or maybe one was replaced in the same direction but the other one was reversed. I would hope we all agree new ICs and speaker cables go through a break-in period. Coaxial cable Electrical energy delivered to the load is flowing entirely through the dielectric between the conductors. Very little energy flows in the conductors themselves, since the electric field strength is nearly zero.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector Note the picture shown. Just a guess no one has experiment using bare uninsulated wires for ICs or speaker cables. herman, and or Al, (almarg) any thoughts? Jim |
