So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

andy21,295 posts05-14-2021 4:28pmIf Feynman couldn't explain it, what hopes are there for you guys to be able to explain it.

Which brings us to the point of what? That high-end cable manufacturers can't possibly explain it, either? But...AudioScienceReview.com proved that measurements from 10Hz-200Khz are virtually non-existent from a cheap cable to an expensive cable...and the expensive cable actually ADDED noise from it's antenna effect. Not a good outcome for $2,400.00. But....that's just my subjective opinion.

In the red corner, we have the amateur objectivists, who have brought their top high school level physics game, and a small but loud group of supporters.

It the blue corner, we have the professional subjectivists, supported by a loud rancorous crowd. They have also brought their top level high school physics game, but have been working extra hard on their irrelevance game.

The bell will ring in 30 seconds. We expect lots of action, lots of slapping, but few blows being landed in this seemingly never ending fight. There appears to be a lack of interest in knowing what is going on in either side, so this is likely to go the full 15 rounds.

Get your popcorn ready, it is going to be entertaining.

You must be new around these parts. What you're describing, as if for the first time, has been going on for way too many years. Nothing about any of these discussions is new- just the latest crop of objectivists raising old arguments.

All the best,
Nonoise

^^^ AudioVoodooScienceReview.com.  I thought this name would be more accurate to describe them.

AC current doesn’t flow...it wiggles or vibrates back and for according to your source.

@ edgewound , where did you read that?


Here...

" Electric charges typically flow as slowly as a river of warm putty. And in AC circuits, the moving charges don’t move forward at all, instead they sit in one place and vibrate."

Taken directly from one of your cited sources.

And this...
" Electric energy can even flow in a direction opposite to that of the electric current. In a single wire, electric energy can move continuously forward while the direction of the electric current is slowly backwards. In AC circuits the energy flows continuously forward while the charges are alternating back and forth at high frequency. The charges wiggle, while the energy flows forward; electric current is not energy flow."
