How Electricity Actually Works

I think the simple answer to "Does this have implications for audio cabling" is no.  I didn't see anything in the presentation that would make a whit of difference anymore than it would to television,  refrigeration, lighting, power recliners, coffee machines or any other electric devices in your house. I can't understand why some watch these videos and then go off into the twilight zone of cables. The Therory presented here hasn't changed since 1978 the only thing that's changed is we have the internet and the ability to explain these phenomena outside academia has improved.

     "Louis Pasteur’s theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." (Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse , 1872)

     "The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon," (Sir John Eric Ericksen, British surgeon, appointed Surgeon-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria 1873)

     "The super computer is technologically impossible. It would take all of the water that flows over Niagara Falls to cool the heat generated by the number of vacuum tubes required." (Professor of Electrical Engineering, New York University)

     "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible!" (Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895)

     "There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom." (Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1923)

     "Man will never reach the moon regardless of all future scientific advances." (Dr. Lee DeForest, Father of Radio & Grandfather of Television)

     "The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives." (Admiral William Leahy, re: US Atomic Bomb Project)

"All truth passes through three stages.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

Arthur Schopenhauer
German Philosopher 1788-1860

Then there's hope,  since they way cables in audio works is self evident to most people.

     Apparently: THAT cables in audio work, is evident to quite a number of people.

     Numerous cable companies have been in operation for decades and doing quite well on the premise, including Used Cable/The Cable Company.

     Some bank on the hope, to the degree: they offer your $$ back, if you disagree.

     That’s not a new thing, either.   ie: On page 310, of the April 1993 Stereophile, Synergistic Research offered to send four different interconnect and two different speaker cable designs (their entire line, at the time*), to audition in the home, for 15 days, risk-free.

     *Ted obviously understands: everything doesn’t always work with everything else.

                                 What some call, "variables".

                  There was even an 800 number(free is good)!

     Of course: the term, "works"  is totally subjective and what works for me, won't necessarily work for you.

                                       I'm OK with that!
