Hello everyone. One of these days i read in audio magazine an article about DIY speaker cables and the guy was recommending using coaxial cable (type RG11) which i found very odd. And he only used the core of the cable. Only the metal conductor from the core the rest is for nothing. I thought "what a waste of, more or less expensive, coax cable". Now i guess if u keep the core diameter and the lenght of the cable at good dimensions in order to keep a low resistance i guess it acts like any piece of wire. Still seems a waste plus its much more rigid and u need a pair of cables for one speaker. So if u want 2.5m of speaker cable u need 10m of coax . So i asked the guy what could posibly be so good about coax to be used for speaker? (he even admitted that the sound was more darker with the highs attenuated a bit) His reply was very confusing all big words saying nothing mostly but what he said basically was that the dielectric material between the core and the metal sleeve of the coax helps conduction! i was . And his explination for that was that the electromagnetic field that is created when current passes through conductor (actually he said when a difference in potential appears on the conductor) penetrates this dielectric and helps conduction. Im no expert but to me its sounds like BS. Ofc EMF is generated when current flows through the wires but i thought the more i confine it the better! no more EMF influences! Am i wrong here? He was giving me an example with a battery 2 wires, a light bulb and a switch. And those 2 wired between a baterry and a light bulb form a transmission line. and when u close the switch an electromagnetic wave propagates through the transmission line and when it hits the light bulb a part is absorbed and a part is reflected back. I would say this is BS again, but mb im wrong that why im asking you.
Can someone shed some light? Can EMF help conduction in my speaker wires?
