In Reply to: Is there anyone here who can muster a hypothesis for why the ground loop on speaker wires works? posted by Norm on January 5, 2013 at 13:41:15:
Hi Norm, I accepts!
And if I hear a difference I'll attempt to generate some data points. I tried Stu's battery scheme on my study system years ago with null results. Hanging wires on speaker terminals however will be a piece of cake on my main system so I'll give it a twirl. You sound confident that there will be a very noticeable effect and I look forward to seeing if I can replicate it.
I like easy experiments, beats the heck out of trying to melt a hole through the antarctic ice and then failing with massive publicity!
By the way, I have no notion of what if anything is going on so I'm an unbiased (class C?) observer. Hypotheses without correlated theory or data are garbage that pollutes the mind and poisons the will. I know, bad pun. My approach to these sorts of things is to initially have a blank mind, and I've been told that in that regard that mine is second to none! We shall see...
Best, Rick
