Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem?

Hello everybody and thanks for the responses!

I am quite new to this hobby and am enjoying it immensely! I especially like Audiogon Forums where I can pose questions and leverage the significant knowledge of others. As far as people being rude, I have run into this a few times, I don't get it and simply ignore them.

I think for now, unless I can come up with something, the coiling of the cables does not seem to be causing an audible issue as some posts have suggested it would not.

Again, thanks to all!

I don’t think insulting other forum participants due to your lack of understanding of a topic is an appropriate way to behave.

I see. And yet its okay for you. You just said I lack understanding. That’s an insult. Pot, meet kettle.

When someone writes a lot of heavily technical jargon laden prose that makes no sense the correct term of description is word salad.

Let’s explain so you will no longer lack understanding.

Inductance is the technical term being misunderstood. The question at hand is a bunch of cable coiled by hand. Anyone ever done this knows the coils are never all the same length, never lay geometrically, but instead crisscross all over the place. Right? Got it? Good.

The inductance in the word salad is talking about stranded cables specifically designed to have the wires maintaining precise geometry such that the magnetic field lines do indeed interact as described in the word salad.

Its word salad because the words are used indiscriminately, out of context, a false application of a useful concept. Its word salad because he does not know what he’s talking about. Which neither did you, or you would be pointing out these same facts. Which goes to prove exactly what I said, that word salad is impossible to understand.

This site is chock full of word salad. Slather on some dressing, bacon bits, like that.

Here’s the meat. Coiling extra wire is just one of many things that are a problem but maybe not a problem everyone can hear, or maybe even not a problem anyone can hear in every given system. They are however a problem. For the exact reasons already explained.

So what happens is we have a choice. We can only eliminate the problems that are so glaringly obvious you can’t stand them, or we can eliminate as many known problems as possible in the understanding we might not notice them right away.

Its one of the harder things to explain to people, that its simply not necessary to spend a fortune to attain great sound. It is however necessary to attend to a great many details. Details exactly like this one here.

That is correct and it has been carefully, thoughtfully, and thoroughly explained to you in simple, concise, andclear language that it is not what you think it is and that you do not understand or comprehend how it applies, operates, and functions in the real world so you invent this "salad" and then add in you’re own radishes, bacan and croutons and then exclaim "I have the best salad and no one else’s comes close to my kind of salad".
