frequency and wire speed.
jUst read this in an article by Ultra Audio
A fellow named Heaviside established a clever way of making the various frequencies traveling in a wire go at the same speed by balancing the speed-increasing effects of capacitance with the speed-slowing effects of inductance. This is called Heaviside’s Condition. Cables in which the ratio of conductance to capacitance equals the ratio of resistance to inductance (G/C = R/L) satisfy Heaviside’s Condition and may sidestep this problem (assuming all the other sources of distortion are controlled).
This is what MIT and Transparent are doing in their boxs but a couple things confuse me.
First can a capacitor actually increase the speed? Don't think so. Second does and inductor actually slow speed?
If (G/C = R/L) where G, conductance = 1/R then L/C = RR transfer into the frequency domain and LCss = RR or s = R/sqrt(LC). Certainly L and C are fixed in passive components but in a wire R varies depending on frequency and current depth and density but how much. L also varies as frequency rise the wire starts to act as a wave guide and inductance is minimize don't know what happens with capacitance.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Cheers
