So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...


Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.

Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

Well, all the electrons I have ever interviewed told me that SOME electrons like to drink a bit, and may get confused and actually go the WRONG WAY down a wire, but once they sober up, all is well again.

Who knew?
The target audience is audio Professionals. Higher ground than audiophiles. Audio Professionals trickle down to audiophiles.


Hmmm....really hate to put it this way but simply put that right there is pretty well proof positive you really don’t have a clue...

And for the record, I’ve played in both the audiophile and "Professional" sandboxes for several decades.

And also for the record, Genelec does make some very good speakers ( btw, that being said, they are not like a lot of the other folks in that field....even though they most likely all "met the requirements"...).

I agree, edgewound is either completely clueless or he is simply stirring the pot. It indicates to me a complete lack of understanding regarding the fundamentals of sound and the more sublime aspects of reproduction. Pearls before swine. 

I think it will be hard for djones to come back from "met the requirements". So telling of a particular thought process that apparently is hard to shake. 




Yep...I'm clueless on why people can be so gullible when it comes to audio and signal flow.
The streamer met the requirements I was looking for. I could have assembled a cheaper alternative but I didn't want to bother with getting the AES3 board from France which is the only place I could find one. I listened to 5 different streamers I could tell no difference in sound so I bought the one I liked. It was a subjective decision. 

I admit I never tried reversing the ethernet cable or AES3 cables. Perhaps that would have clinched the deal for a more expensive streamer. 

So telling of a particular thought process that apparently is hard to shake.


It's easy for me to change my view all it takes is evidence.
