Different lengths of interconnects ??????

Thought some of you might be interested in this, as I was curious when several people wrote that electrons move at the speed of light through wire. That did not seem correct to me, so I did a bit of investigaing. Here is what I came up with.

How Fast do Electrons move through wire

(By the way, I am not saying that what the others wrote was wrong, it was just not as correct as it could have been.)

Do a blind test. Have someone change them when you are not looking. My bet is that no one would ever be able to tell. Much better than casino odds here!

I wonder if there is anyone who has compared the unequal length of interconnects personally and can hear or feel the differences? On the other hand, one might not be able to tell the difference at the beginning, but feel uncomfortable after long listening?

The differences caused by unequal length of interconnects may not only be the speed of Electrical signals travel. The unbalance of capacitance, inductance and phase may cause more problems, but those differences may be too subtle to tell.

It is very interesting that most member in Audioasylum believe the cables must in equal length for both channel, but I do not know if they can tell the differences when the cables are in unequal length.

Right. That's where all the "experts" hang out.

All you need is a keyboard to play.

Inductance, capacitance, & phase should be non issues in any properly designed IC found in typical system lengths. As far as "what most people believe", this is how the myths & urban legends begin that leave the unknowing needlessly chasing their tails.
