"Besides no one has figured out how to measure warmth, air, transparency, soundstage or presence."So it is not invariably as quote in one of above posts said. Lots of sweet talk, not many examples. Now, how do you measure sweet talk? Simple. It is about wires.
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.

>>>>Huh? Humans aren’t wired like that at all. Perhaps best to leave the psychological issues to the professionals https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/cognitive-bias/565775/ https://www.zmescience.com/science/cognitive-biases-list James Johnston Acoustics, Psychoacoustics, Hearing - Architectural Acoustics A view of perception Lateral inhibition Frequency filtering, loudness analysis Object Analysis Feature Analysis Cognitive-level understanding Peripheral Processing Megabits Many Megabits Kilobits Bits OBSERVE THE MASSIVE FEEDBACK AND THE LOSS OF DATA AT EACH STEP How does this cause conflict? First, it clearly shows the need for “blind testing” in fact “double-blind testing”. – No, that doesn’t mean you wear a blindfold – It does mean that you have to detect the differences you’re listening for WITHOUT HINTS FROM OTHER SENSES No, you can’t ignore them. It’s not delusion, hallucination, or stupidity, it’s how your brain works. If it’s not a DBT, you have no idea what you were responding to, beyond “something.” |
