In Reply to: Were it litz wire with wires in the loop connected at the lug, would you not see evidence of a solder pot? nt posted by Norm on May 16, 2010 at 07:12:48:
Well Norm, I read all 362 posts of http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/parts/102180-groundside-electrons.html.
Finally about post 300 someone posted a drawing that was clear and Bud (apparently the promulgator of this maryann) said it was right. The upshot is that each wire forms a loop that is connected to the lug at both ends. It looked like that was the case in most pictures and it is, but apparently they also work without doing that.
Interesting read. It doesn't make a whit of sense to me but in this case that actually means that I'm in the mainstream. The general gist is 'this doesn't make any sense, but it does seem to work'. Maybe it's electrons? Maybe it leprechauns? Which of course makes it nearly irresistible so as soon as I unearth my workbench (so far only the legs are in view) I'm gonna play with it. What a great hobby!
