Better start drinking now, Scooter. Part 2 is coming. Don’t have an aneurism. 😳
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
Some (most) cables do sound differently depending on which end is connected to which component. It is asserted that the conductor grain orientation is determining the preferential current flow. That might well be, but in most (all) cases the audio signal is AC (electrons going back and forth in the cable), without a DC component to justify a directional flow. Wouldn't that mean that in the 1st order, a phase change should give the same effect as a cable flip?
I'm curious whether there is a different view on this that I have not considered yet.

teo_audio " As Mr average Joe blow will demand the full 'functional for them explanation'. And that just can't happen." Mr average "Joe blow" may be a member of the Flat Earth Society and use the same argument. Him being steps ahead of the rest of the pack and all. Further more, there are plenty of intelligent, long term audiophiles (not Joe Blow) who think most of the arguments (above gauge and good quality basic cables) is not relevant as it relates to human hearing. However, by all means buy the the appropriate level of items that do make a difference in your system. |
Andy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come here and post a comment and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. Understand? Now, we're going to make a new rule. When you come in here and you hear me typing or whether you DON’T hear me typing, or whatever you hear me doing; when I'm in here, it means that I am working, that means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that? |
