That is interesting, although I find it hard to believe one would notice the change in the cable. How would that be distinguished from the changes in the equipment? I can see where one might notice the difference in an old vs a new cable but as for the microscopic changes in a new cable over time ...
Add: Not sure how relevant that alignment theory would be to AC signals either.
I agree.......I just read it........and thought why not? (but doubt it).
My better judgement does say hogwash........anyone can say anything now adays on the net (true or false)......but it did make me scratch my head and question.
Who knows, maybe it's something else for all the upsellers to work with.........................Rip it all out!!!..
New equipment doesn't work right with old wiring. Old wiring only lasts for 30 yrs then starts to degrade for 30 yrs......( I heard that said about concrete but it was 40/40 yrs)........
Break in period on wire as mentioned, had me curious.
How it went into dielectrics and such, but we electricians are concerned with insulation breakdown. (amongst other things).
