Not if you use my terms, Mr. Smarty Pants 👖
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.

Yes, there are tons of subjective opinions on fuses, power cables and wires of every stripe. What you will not find is any manufacturer of said things claiming they absolutely definitely objectively make a difference in your sound system. Their lawyers know better than to let them do something that stupid. Of course they could provide results of controlled tests and measurements to support their contentions but , well...that would interfere with profits. |
You say subjective opinions. I say empirical evidence. We observe reality through our senses. If you can’t hear properly or you don’t trust your sense of hearing I suggest candling your ears. 🕯So far those who hear directionality outweigh those who don’t by a factor of about 10,000 to 1. Besides, as I’ve oft counseled, controlled tests are for sissies. They don’t mean anything. They are only an excuse not to progress. So cut me some slack, Jack. I’m afraid you’ve been following the wrong, you know.... 🐑 🐑 🐑 🚶🏻 |
djones51 ... there are tons of subjective opinions on fuses, power cables and wires of every stripe.

Their lawyers know better than to let them do something that stupid.How about WireWorld’s "superior image and sound reproduction." You can read that here. How about Nordost’s "... power cords deliver a level of performance not previously possible at their price points. " You can read that here. How about Ray Kimber’s "braided wire concept not only rejected the (RF) noise, but allowed the system to sound different, better." You can read that here. Those are just a few examples. I’ve challenged cable naysayers many times when they bleat about "snake oil" and "fraudsters." File a lawsuit and seek class action, I tell ’em. Think of the riches that await you after you reveal that an entire industry has been built on fraud! |
