Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

To clarify some definitions.....

triboelectric noise

The variation/modulation of cable capacitance (electrostatic charge due to friction) against the load impedance that causes the audibility of noise from a cable when it's moved. Cable handling noise.

piezoelectric effect

A voltage produced between surfaces of a solid dielectric (nonconducting substance) when a mechanical stress is applied to it. The word piezo is Greek for "push".

Hope this helps....
