The arrows simply denote the shield-connected end, I believe...

Yup.

Regarding the direction of the conductor, it does make a difference, even on a simple cheap RCA or speaker cable, try the cable at the system it sits for many months and connect it other way round, you can hear the difference, but it will back to normal after few days.

At the Telemecanique days, we discuss a lot with their engineers, for example, what is the difference if you put the overload trip device at the incoming end vs the outgoing end? that is interesting, both ways can trip the contactor.

To all my forum-mates who enjoy Bowie, I would recommend Seu Jorge's covers of Bowie. He is a Brazilian acoustic guitarist who did a few Bowie covers for the Bill Murray movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", then did a whole album. It is really enjoyable. I have seen him live too, its a good show.

P.S. Only listen if you are in the mood to chill, because his vibe is super-chill. Happy listening.

Thanks for that recommendation! Love it!

Weather sucks here (T-storms and rain), so I thought I'd throw up a day Jazz recommendation in case others are homebound today.

Never heard of them before, but it is quite enjoyable. Get Down and Get Funky!!! (I may take it down a notch for tonight.)

Well, butter my butt and call me biscuit, that's actually a decent album!

Then I better don’t tell you that I’m actually, no kidding, seriously using speaker cables of widely varying lengths. The right speaker sits right next to my rack, the left speaker is about ten feet to the left. And so I’m using a three foot cable for the right speaker and a twelve footer for the left.
Works just fine.

(The new place’s layout will be different, allowing for equal-length cables. But while my current room situation is perfect for symmetry, the new room will suck. A wall at one side and the open kitchen to the other. That actually bothers me to no end. It’s the only thing that I don’t like about the new place. But something’s gotta give. At least I can keep all the closet space just for myself. )

Thats the same principle to calculate the length of a cable roll if you know the spec. (ohms per a certain length) of that cable by measuring the resistance of it, but it is about a rather long cable.

I remember a movie, using butter for some purpose .......

Yep. You're gonna fit right in here in Texas.

I don't know what happened. Had to re-post.

Hehe, thanks.

Hehe, thanks.

Will it be a bit slippery sitting on the armchair? (I know it is a bad joke)

Well ohms per 1000 feet of 18 awg can be 5.75. 16 awg about 4 ohms, 14 awg 2.5 ohms, 12 awg about 1.6, 10 awg about .99 ohms. Yes you can calculate it but have fun measuring 12 feet compared to 25 feet.

Hope ACP is not using a very thick cable....
