I appreciate your feedback. I think you missed the points of my articles. In many places I explicitely state that skin effect is a non issue for audio frequencies, though it is barely measurable at 20kHz and starts being more noticeable above 50kHz.
SKin effect is responsible for increased Rs and decreases Ls (minimized internal inductance at very high F) as can bee seen here:
Calculating Cable Inductance
Transmission line effects for audio frequencies dealing with the cable lengths for typical audio applications is also a non issue. However as John points out, it becomes an issue for power due to the very long runs.
As for collapsing fields of audio affected by Skin, you got me, I will leave that for John to pursue as I don't personally see or agree that it can have an impact. Though given Johns background and expertise, if anyone can prove or disprove it, it will be him or his colleagues as the place he works contains some of the top scientists in the country.</font>
