Cable Snake Oil Antidote

Good Lord,
Just invest bout $300 for material and make ur own?
Mine sound better than anything I have auditioned from Audioquest, Kimber.
First post for me.  I have been lurking for a while.
There is some real passion on this forum.  Definitely some north and south magnetic fields here.
Regards

One man’s technical jargon is another’s facts about the magnetic behavior of wire, as explained by an electrical engineer. No harm in that knowing the basics, unless one harbors an irrational fear of commonly-agreed-upon facts, or a distrust of anything coming from any member of the professionally-recognized electrical engineering fraternity.

>>>>Geez, calm down. Commonly agreed on facts? Professionally recognized electrical engineering fraternity? Oh, please! The description of the magnetic behavior of wire and even the complete mathematical explanation of Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism do not necessarily help the curious audiophile decide which cable will sound best or which cable has the optimum geometry, gauge, dielectric or necessarily explain why one cable sounds better than another in a blind test.

Besides, even though practically everybody and his brother knows that current traveling through a wire induces a magnetic field nobody does anything about it. Well, almost nobody. There is only one person I know of who has addressed the induced magnetic field in cables. Let’s see if you can guess who that person is. 😛 All this technical fireworks does not advance the Great Cable Debate. I’m afraid the mystery remains. Oh, well. Anyone who wishes to get smart on electricity or electromagnetism or anything can Google it up on Wikipedia, for crying out loud.

Great Cable Debate

¿Que? There is no debate. Cables are system dependent.

Quoting Gareis "Speakers vary by design so their “back EMF” load into amplifiers varies. Amplifiers of differing design react to the back-EMF differently, and the overall performance can be hard to predict." [emphasis added]

Google it up on Wikipedia

Use a biased search provider to search a biased informational site that can be edited by anyone with no credentials what so ever?

BTW, I tried several Wikipedia searches for wire directionality and found nothing. Might be a worthwhile use of certain individuals' time...

A clever fellow can find a decent discussion of Cable directionality over on Audioquest’s web site and perhaps others. Controlling directionality of all their cables AND power cords seems to something Audioquest excels at.
