We do need some education...
Directionality Explained
I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

Since we are talking engineering, my experience is, the ultimately better engineers, at least if you are trying to accomplish difficult work, are the ones whose marks were 80-90%, definitely not the ones near the bottom of the class. If they achieved high grades and had a social life, then they are usually the exceptional ones. There are some book smart ones, who are usually good at pure research, but not practical work, but there is a place for everyone. tweak1 OP1,541 posts05-21-2020 7:57am |
Most people forget rather quickly whatever they were taught in school, just my observation. l mean, come on, most people don’t even use what they learned after they get out. What do you think on the job training is all about? It’s convenient to define knowledge as whatever is left after you subtract out all that you’ve forgotten from school. Which for many doesn’t leave very much. I don’t count what you learn on TV. That’s the way the ball bounces. |
