Wrong on every count. I DID read the entire thread, including the second post on page ten.

Of course, and in close proximity, 90 degree angles between inductor or transformer cores is required. I never disputed that.

Here is the issue: when is it required? At what distance, frequency and current is it prudent? Must the inductors used in crossovers of speakers placed ten feet apart be placed at 90 degrees from each other? Of course not. Must transformers in monoblocks, sitting four feet from each other be at right angles? Obviously not. Do inductors three inches apart on the same chassis? Of course they do.

BUT, at some combination of distance and field strength, it doesn't matter. That's the issue. Rich has provided a handy rule-of-thumb guide to the issue, at least as far as air cores are concerned.

In the drawing I made for Steve (which FOR THIS VERY REASON I would have only sent by PM, save for the single file limitation) the inductors are spaced at 7.2" Rich's drawing suggests a 7.88 minimum. I bet it would be sonically indistinguishable either way. But you are welcome to prove me wrong

You prove the wisdom of those who avoid posting on this site by your post attacking me over nothing.

Negative. I said I read the entire thread. Not every single link.

So Shashi, tell me about the real effects of having the actual inductors positioned as I showed them, versus the position shown, or the 90 axis turn shown with a specific practical distance shown.

What level of interference to expect? Provide citations and calculations as well as the results of a simulation or actual build.

Otherwise, your post is meaningless and another diversion. Just an effort to prove something while doing nothing.

Exactly what difference in sound will there be? Guide Steve. Show Steve the measurable or audible difference in spacing those two inductors as I did, versus how I should have done it if only I had read every link you have ever posted
