In Reply to: Cable (Wrong) Direction posted by EdF on September 2, 2000 at 09:32:41:
I was told by Joe at JPS, that if you have arrows in wrong direction and leave for an extended period, the sound will come around. Whether this is true for all cables, I dunno? Here is an intersting letter for your pleasure.......From letters, in Stereophile Sept. 2000. I find mysely amused by the often-heard statement that cables could not possibly be directional. The argument is based on the fact that audio signals are AC signals, meaning that the voltage and current reverse direction in the wire every cycle, and therefore they could not possibly be directional. However in an A.C. circuit the signal is not passed by voltage and current direction, but by power direction.
In an A.C. circuit, power flows in one direction only! Power flows from a source to a load( pre amp to amp, generator to light bulb,etc) Since power is directional and the cables in our system are power conduits, they certainly could be sensitive to the direction in which power flows through them.Anyone doubting this need look no further than the power meter mounted on the outside of their house. If A.C. power is nondirectional, then why pay the electric bills?
