How Electricity Actually Works

Fortunately at the frequencies of concern for analog audio and our wire length field, signal propogation is not a concern though audiophiles get themselves worked up easily. For digital cables it is important but something figured out long ago.

I ordered a kite, some string, and a key off of Ebay last week.  

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Ha ha ha ha ha....

He is just so "deluded"!

Frequencies of concern?

How about, "Field interactions"? All of those pesky stray particles from simply wave diffraction. Particle Scatter from wave beaming crosstalk? Crosstalk from inductive winding archetypes. "Especially" with the common symmetry wire topologies so prevalent today and for those for absolutely no good reason. And so many, many more variables for affectation!

Correct "Signal Propagation" with integrity is ALWAYS a concern. "If it is not? You may have chosen the wrong hobby.

No matter the length, cross section or material mix used. The source signals integrity at endpoint is going to vary from its original form. Everything affects this. And always in a negative manner differing from the original form. And of course, "Every length, of every, single, (wire, bar or plate), in, on or even near, any and all parts, pieces and systems"? It turns out that ALL of that, just happens to be actual, "attenuating devices"! YUP, working, "antenna's"! Because if it is conductive, it has a polarity. If it has a polarity, it is broadcasting. If it is broadcasting, it is also receiving- "Noise/Distortions/Resonance" and more! And since all geometrically definable, "space" is not only surrounded by, but also just "Chock Full" of energy "in an insane amount of mass per unit of area". And mass equals what??

And that of course |IS| at it's core just another vibration. Which causes an oscillation....

I'll stop now, since I am sure everyone here see's where I am going with this...But why?

Ok, so you forgot about a variable or two. "So What" you say?

Any (one) variable listed above can be made to cause a terminal fault in any system. 

Now take them all. And account for them all in any given system. (As best you can). "This does not need to be perfect. Just your best work". In ANY given system.

Now;

Are you "Really" going to try to argue that there would not be any appreciable change in that systems functionality, if a full accounting and then following that a correction was applied?

That is all I am attempting to get you to see. But that should be enough!

Correct "Signal Propagation" with integrity is ALWAYS a concern. "If it is not? You may have chosen the wrong hobby.

I have chosen an advanced degree in solid state physics and a career in semiconductors and batteries. You may want to pick someone else to chant your voodoo perceptions of how electric fields work.

I most certainly am. We are discussing audio and human beings. Everything you mentioned can be reduced to simple parameters that can be used to evaluate performance at audio frequencies and the distances involved. 

We build nanometer scale semiconductor devices now. Billions of transistors on a chip. We make nanometer scale materials and membranes for batteries that change the chemical and electrical interactions on that same scale. Do you really think we don't understand electricity and materials well enough to understand with sufficient detail wire for analog audio?

Strange how my speakers measure and sound extremely well. No hiss or hum my ear within an inch of the tweeter or mid yet my power cable and balanced cable run parallel, even strapped together with velcro for a distance. The way some think here nothing should work or I should be getting nothing but distortion. My cables are generic nothing expensive or special about them maybe that's the reason everything works and sounds great?
