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.
How Electricity Actually Works
In November of last year I posted a Vertasium YT vid titled "The Big Misconception About Electricity". Well it caused quite a stir and like an arachnid had many legs many of which attempted to draw A'gonrs into the poison fangs!
Well, here is the follow-up to that original vid which caused quite a stir in the "intellectual" community as well.
Vertasium "How Electricity Actually Works".
This does have implications for our audio cabling...

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? |
I never said electrons flow, though they do drift. This thread is a discussion about the weirdness or non intuitivness of electricity not the audibility of fuses and wires in sound systems. You like Feynman, here you go. https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_27.html
While you're at it you might want to brush up on what a scientific Theory is, it's not Billy Bob Bodine guessing why beer has bubbles. |
