What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?


Douglas Self wrote a devastating article about audio anomalies back in 1988. With all the necessary knowledge and measuring tools, he did not detect any supposedly audible changes in the electrical signal. Self and his colleagues were sure that they had proved the absence of anomalies in audio, but over the past 30 years, audio anomalies have not disappeared anywhere, at the same time the authority of science in the field of audio has increasingly become questioned. It's hard to believe, but science still cannot clearly answer the question of what electricity is and what sound is! (see article by A.J.Essien).

For your information: to make sure that no potentially audible changes in the electrical signal occur when we apply any "audio magic" to our gear, no super equipment is needed. The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'". This is about a 10% change. (Harris J.D.). At medium volume, the voltage amplitude at the output of the amplifier is approximately 10 volts, which means that the smallest audible difference in sound will be noticeable when the output voltage changes to 1 volt. Such an error is impossible not to notice even using a conventional voltmeter, but Self and his colleagues performed much more accurate measurements, including ones made directly on the music signal using Baxandall subtraction technique - they found no error even at this highest level.

As a result, we are faced with an apparently unsolvable problem: those of us who do not hear the sound of wires, relying on the authority of scientists, claim that audio anomalies are BS. However, people who confidently perceive this component of sound are forced to make another, the only possible conclusion in this situation: the electrical and acoustic signals contain some additional signal(s) that are still unknown to science, and which we perceive with a certain sixth sense.

If there are no electrical changes in the signal, then there are no acoustic changes, respectively, hearing does not participate in the perception of anomalies. What other options can there be?

I dont have an opinion about direction but the problem is way more deep than the skeptic would want to admit....


How's that?
Maghister you are a major step up from geoffkait when it comes to going on and on about nebulous products and solutions.
thanks for the appreciation...

The reason is simple i sells nothing and my solutions cost nothing....But i must admit i appreciate excentric or unorthodox character ....Geoffkait included...

This intellectual challenge: how to improve audio, is not interesting at all if we use money...Anybody can buy a costly amplifier and plug it with the "illusion" sometimes of hi-fi....

Using only brain, basic science only, and peanuts cost homemade device is my way....
How's that?
I explained why just a few post above.... I apologize for speaking too much and i dont want to repeat....

😊😊😊😊😉😉😉

I'll buy that but what does it have to do with wire direction?  Staying on topic IS a virtue in debate.

😊 i was answering your own post complimenting me thanking you and explaining why you think so about me loll ....

I apologize for this post then also....

 I will mute the 2 direction of my wired brain for now....
