Post Subject: Parallel wire runsPosted by drdna on: 6/30/2008
I had tried this before, a few years back, using parallel runs for interconnect and speaker cable of uninsulated and insulated wire of different metals. The end result was that the tonal result was very similar and basically the tone seemed to vary with the amount of each metal used, like adding more spice to a soup. Although I did find that the wires rejected noise best when they were closer together than I expected, this was difficult with thin uninsulated strands. One odd thing I noticed was that the sound was quite sensitive to the length of the cable runs. I know this doesn't make much sense in terms of conventional electromagnetic theory at audio frequencies, but I can only tell you what I heard. Slight adjustments in the length of the cable runs or mismatches between the two legs gave a sort of DPOL effect with the rhythm snapping into the correct focus.
