Directionality of wire

Herman stated recently regarding wire directionality, "if you can hear it it’s real." I hate to be the one to point this out but that’s unfortunately not really the right answer, at for the purposes of this thread, since the naysayers or skeptics whatever never try listening for directionality - or if they do they can’t hear it. So they say. That why they’ve taken the tack of using mathematical and physics explanations to debunk the whole idea. In fact these attempts to debunk wire directionality are very reminiscent of theological arguments. Even of medieval witch hunts or whatever. Not that I’m trying to bring up theological arguments here or any such thing. But it is curious that these things are very difficult to prove or even to provide evidence other than personal testimony. Which I actually find rather convincing given the sheer number of such reports. It’s like UFO sightings, report and videos; eventually you start to say, gee, maybe there’s something to that. Regardless of the fact that US Air Force Operation Blue Book, which was right down the street from my first job in a pink building with no windows at Wright Patterson AFB, closed its doors in 1968 or thereabouts due to lack of evidence and or lack of funds. So they said.

if you are ignorant you'll buy anything - even directional wire or liquid metal

OK, everyone, stay calm. My understanding is Randy isn’t really a pinhead as many folks think, she's just a normal 14 year old girl who has access to her mom’s computer.

stfroth, as always a good rant, and an entertaining one. When you imply, well you actually say, some folks hear directionality, I don’t think you fully appreciate how long this debate has been going on or just how many people have invested in aftermarket fuses since they first came out, was it Isoclean and HiFi Tuning? And they were followed by a host of others. I reckon there must be thousands of satisfied aftermarket fuse customers with probably, I’m guessing here, many hundreds of positive reports on various audio forums as well as on manufacturer websites over the years.

The other point worth making is that if you think naysayers and skeptics react vehemently to fuses and wire directionality just wait’ll ya get a load of when something really controversial and preposterous comes along. Then you'll see the fur fly. What kind of things, you ask? You know, things like tiny little holographic foils for CDs, battery powered clocks that improve the sound when placed in the room, cream electret, tiny little bowl resonantors, things of that nature.
