Crown on the rocks please...... No, wait, make that neat..... and a double.....
Directional interconnect cables
I see several big-name interconnect vendors mark directional arrows on the outer jacket of the cables.
How is it that a wire can be directional? It's a simple electrical conductor, how is it possible for it to be directional, to sound "better" when connected in one direction vs. the other? This does not make sense to me, perhaps someone here can explain how this can possibly be so...

Since you guys are running a tab, I'll have a Pear D'Anjou liqueur and matching set of cables. |
I find the theorising here, by both sides, as pointless too. I love that comment that you can't scientifically prove the existence of burn in. A true scientist realises nothing is ever proven, and only seeks to disprove his theories, not prove them. But it is not difficult to assemble evidence about burn in. It is only the practitioner that is forced to assume that tested and undisproven theories are facts. Yet we so often have posters asking for a rationale to support claims or beliefs of others. Why they seek a rationale, when the existence of such a thing proves nothing, is what puzzles me. |
I think I reported the results of my experiments. I cannot recall offering a theory, or claim that my experiments proved anything except to justify to me that I should consider directionality and burn in, in practise. I am happy to be corrected on that though. I am not trying to be superior, just pointing out as others have here, that our experiences are relevant, but our conflicting theories lead nowhere. |
