Interconnect Directionality
Have I lost my mind? I swear that I am hearing differences in the direction I hook up my interconnect cables between my preamp and power amp. These are custom built solid core silver cables with Eichmann bullet plugs. There is no shield so this is not a case where one end of the cable’s shield is grounded and the other isn’t.
There are four ways ways to hook them up:
Right: Forward. Left: Forward.
Right: Backward. Left: Backward
Right: Forward. Left: Backward
Right: Backward. Left: Forward.
There is no difference in construction between forward and backward, but here are my observations:
When they are hooked up forward/backward there appears to be more airy-ness and what appears to be a slight phase difference. When hooked up forward/forward or backward/backward, the image seems more precise like they are more in phase. The difference between forward/forward and backward/backward is that one seems to push the soundstage back a little bit while the other brings it towards you more.
What could possibly cause this? Does it have something to do with the way the wire is constructed and how the grains are made while drawn through a die? Am I imagining this? Have I completely lost my mind?

jea48, unless I miss my guess Herman, the person you quoted in your last post, is as confused as a puppy dog meeting his first female puppy about the whole subject of electricity, current and the electromagnetic signal and the fields involved. In fact, there are so many errors in the Herman quotation I hardly know where to begin. But if you insist on a list of errors it would be my pleasure. You realize when you quote people so frequently you do you run the risk of being tagged with the same paint ball, don’t you? |
ahofer, so I assume you don’t actually have any kind of theory and just like flapping your gums. Nothing wrong with theory, but the assertion was there was an *audible* difference in practice. There's a way to support that assertion with evidence, but I'm not seeing it here. Did you mean "flapping your gums" as more of an improbable tweak?
