RE: Cable terminations

I thought we just agreed the audio signal is the alternating movement of the free electrons, I.e., what you call alternating current. Thus, the "audio signal" is the combined wiggling back and forth of the free electrons. The rate of electron wiggling is the instantaneous audio frequency. Each wire contributes 1/2 the audio signal, i.e., 1/2 cycle of the audio waveform. A full cycle makes the speaker diaphragm move out and back one complete cycle. That obviously takes a lot less time than if the signal were moving a light-speed, no? The audio signal in cables is occurring in real time just like the music coming out of the speakers.
