"Chris Hornbeck"

Imagine the simpler case of a balanced signal on an untwisted pair
line. What is now different in the induced current? First consider
the case of the two conductors having *no* spacing. Then the case of
spacing significant compared to a wavelength.

Next consider the case of the same lines with a single twist centered
on a symmetrical hum source. Then with infinite twisting.

All this talk about "reversing the phase" etc. is fundamentally
flawed, IMO.





** For Christ's sake Chris - do a *real test * instead of posting
ASININE thought experiments with wrong outcomes.

Get a length of insulated wire, connect the ends to pins 2 and 3 of an
XLR, plug it into a mic pre and try the effect of having an open loop,
closed loop and then twisted tightly all along its length when held close
proximity to an AC power transformer.
