I have a simple question for you pros. The RCA wire that I got for free is RCA 114 gauge wire that has two smaller wires so you can make one positive and one negaitve. My question is does it matter if the two small wires run parallel to eachother? I have seen some monster cable that is spiral. I remember from physics in highschool that wires in parallel creat a megnatic field or something. Will this cause noise distortion and stuff?
Is that 14ga wire you meant to write? Hopefully it is not that thin or something is wrong
those two parallel wires have signals running in opposite direction and at audio frequencies, the wave length in cables are pretty long, so, in essence, the opposite direction signal amplitudes happen at the same time and tend to minimize the fields, certainly not eliminate them, but of not much concern.
No, if you had only one wire running, yes, the fields would be much greater.
