John:There are lots of metal junctions in any system using an RCA-terminated interconnect, so perhaps there is an opportunity for thermoelectric effects. You just haven't described any yet.
Assuming that there is something here, can you postulate how you think those might show up? Can you suggest any likely effects that would show up in John's 400Hz - 50kHz measurement window?
If we can establish a hypothetical link between the Seeback/Peltier effects and what we are seeing on a spectrum analyzer, THEN it's worth pursuing this further and testing it. If not, what's the point of this discussion?
Any ideas?
