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.

You will not find proof on these manufacturers websites other than them showing differences in measurements to other items of like kind and subjective options of what those measurements mean to the sound. No lawyer worth a damn is going to let a manufacturer of cables make definitive statements. Few years ago in the UK a man brought a complaint against a power cord manufacturer claiming misleading statements about the product. The first ruling was for the plaintiff but a subsequent appeals ruling overturned saying the manufacturer never explicitly said everyone would notice a difference and that in their research papers they never said any of the measured differences between power cords were necessarily audible. The reason no action is taken is the lawyers only allow weasel words in their claims to do otherwise invites LAWSUITS UNLESS they can objectively PROVE their claims. The legal lesson is free.

... I read the links I saw nothing actionable but then again I saw no evidence of anything said , that these products would definitely improve everyone’s listening experience.
I couldn’t have made it easier for you - I actually pulled exact quotes. WireWorld: "superior image and sound reproduction."

Maybe you prefer to go after Best Buy, which promotes an AQ cable that will "significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture." Wow! A claim of "significant improvement" should be easy for you to disprove, no? You can read the claim here.

It should be an easy matter to prove whether an image is better or not. That you’re not up to the challenge suggests you fear the result. C’mon, buy some WireWorld or AQ cables, demonstrate that the claim is false and get rich beyond your wildest dreams when you prove an entire industry is built on fraud. Good luck!
Does it say everyone will definitely hear a significant improvement? Significant to who exactly? Few hundred audiophiles or everyone? Nothing actionable in that weasel statement. No , it's not easy to prove whether an image is better or not, better to who? You're not going to find objective definable claims on universal sound characteristics and improvement in any of these manufacturers papers. 
Filing a claim against a cable manufacturer would be like suing Pepsi because I think Coke tastes better. You can't sue over marketing double speak that’s what got Listerine in trouble they made a definitive statement our product kills 99% of germs and they couldn’t prove it.

It claims to "significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture." You need only to show the jury that the claim is false. C'mon, file that suit and seek class action status. You'll get rich beyond your wildest dreams!
