To make things a bit more complicated, a speaker cable exists in a three dimensional space, therefore the electro-magnetic energy not necessarily confined as in a 2 dimensional circuit diagram for example.
Speaker cable arrows???
I bought a used pair of Silverline Audio's Conductor cables. Plugged them in
and was very pleased with the neutral sound I was getting. Bare wire to the
speakers, and bananas on the amp end. Then I realized that the arrows on
the cables where pointing towards the amp. OOPS, I reversed the path
direction, and couldn't hear any difference. Zero.
My preference would be to have the bananas on the amp end.
Can I disobey the arrows, and run the cables effectively backwards?

Ad nauseam, actually. We have Poynting vectors up the wazoo. |
andy2 And to make things even more complicated, an AC current is not AC that is it is not symmetric. Some of its aspect is sort of like a DC current. >>>>That is interesting. How does it affect directionality, or does it? |
