What am I missing?

Howdy

Perhaps I threw things off by using the word inductance instead of reactance. But I didn't think it would matter because I was just pointing out to Pat D that some people are worried about the audible effects of coiling your speaker wire.

Anyway:

In one thread you tell me that I will get audible distortions from a pair of wires (geometry unspecified) running parallel to another for, say 50'. (On the order of 1 in a 1000).

In another thread you say there will be 0 (!) effect from a pair of wires (geometry unspecified) running parallel to it's self for 13'.

Now, perhaps you know the geometry of the 2nd case. But to use a blanket statement that there is 0 effect seems uncharacteristically black and white for you. Even if everything is linear the effect could be (by your own numbers), say, 1 in 4000 in a circumstance that seems to me to be much more direct and audible (e.g. a direct speaker connection vs. thru a random topology of power supplies, ground loops, etc.)
