Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem?

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.

"Canceling magnetic fields, hence no inductance." Interesting. Just one question. When the cables all coiled up, how does the wire know which magnetic fields to conveniently cancel? I mean they’re all piled together, different lengths, some closer some further away. So how does it know?

Word salad. Easy to write. Impossible to understand. If I was you I’d cover it up with lots of blue cheese and bacon bits and hope no one notices underneath is zero nutrient iceberg lettuce. Trust me. Once they see the bacon bits, forgetaboutit.

Especially not cables that are already bi. They may decide to go trans.
