The three individual #12 insulated conductors are braided together and then pulled into an empty conduit. (The conduct runs from the electrical panel to the wall receptacle rough-in box.)
Maybe it added too much capacitance. Sounds like it was a costly mistake!I don't think it is a capacitance or inductance problem. I think the braiding pretty much eliminates them from the equation. Though I could be wrong. What does the braiding of the 3 wires do to magnetic fields surrounding the hot and neutral current carrying conductors?
My thought is, what impact might the braiding of the hot, neutral, and equipment ground wires together have on the electromagnetic wave that is traveling from the source, the electrical panel, to the load, the audio equipment. Especially the power amp.
