Hi. And thanks for reading this post.
I have owned quite a few different speaker cables in my time and have always noticed the copper strands of wire within the cable run straight and parallel to each other I.e. they are not twisted. In fact the same is true of mains cable. Can anyone tell me why this is I was told the electricity has trouble flowing through twisted strands, if each strand was enameled you might get an inductance effect but obviously it is not so the electricity should take the straightest path, so if the strands are twisted or not should have no overall effect. Can anyone tell me why the copper strands are never twisted. Thank you in advance. John. |
