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.

... I don't care if a million claim they hear a difference in wire directionality unless it's through tests controlled for biases.
That's rather odd that you'd sweep aside the observations of 1 million people so readily, and it suggests you have quite a bias of your own.  Is there any reason you haven't conducted your own "tests controlled for biases?"

One in three believe the pandemic is a hoax. What else is new?

Of course I have biases don't you? Yeah, I'm not rich so I just look at what tests there are out there that have controlled for biases.

So you make your audio system decisions based on others' test results? That must really limit your choices! Why not conduct your own tests?

Inexpensive cables in the right direction 🔜 can sound better than expensive cables in the wrong direction 🔙 Heck, you can run the experiment yourself, ya know. Just flip whatever cables you have around and listen. If you’re not sure the first time do it again. You can run controlled double blind tests or whatever til you’re blue in the face 🥶 if you want, nobody’s stopping you.

I support the working stiff, the disenfranchised, the have nots, the timid, the destitute and the non technical. Be sure and check with heaudio first cause sure as shootin’ he’ll be jumping down your throat if you say you got good results.
