So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...


Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.

Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

So yes, 0.05% is more than good enough for human hearing, or any practical manufacturing process.

So basically you just pulled some number out of a hat without anything to back up.  Kind of like a magician.  So much for being an objectivist :-)

A high school drop out could say what you said since it doesn't mean much.

If you don't know the relevance of 0.05% measurement accuracy to the measurement (or design) of audio equipment, you could just say so instead of trying to make it look like the fault of someone else.  A high school drop out would probably admit he or she does not know.

That is 0.004db as a level difference. At 20KHz, it is a frequency shift in a filter of 10Hz. You could just say I don't understand the relevance of 0.05% measurement error.

I trust your "moronic" comment will be removed, because it's abusive. But....with the fratboy mentality of rules enforcement around here, I highly doubt it
The moderators do a pretty good job here. If you disagree, I suggest you direct your concerns to them for resolution. Or, are you a "new" user who's been previously suspended from the site multiple times?


A detective, you're not. I've only one registration. Never been banned to come back as someone/something else. Maybe I should be flattered?

edgewound is a musician. Explains a ton based on my experience with musicians especially those who play through amplification.

To some a little knowledge is a wonderful thing and to others a curse. Those who dont know what they dont know are a bane.

So typical to call for the removal of comments you dont like, especially when these offensive comments are no worse that others that jumped from your keyboard moments earlier.

Stay as long as you like edgewound, but perhaps you should quit while you are behind.


I've actually been in the audio business full time for the last 33 years and counting.

It's amazing the things one can learn about audio hardware/software in the professional and consumer markets after 4 decades with hands-on experience and how transfers through being a musician and attending both professional and consumer trade shows. CES, NAMM, AES. The consumer market has no standards body to answer to when it comes to outrageous claims. AES has pretty stringent standards when it comes to specs publishing. CES not so much. 
...and oh....BTW...not one person has come up with evidence that the wire conductors in cables are directional.

Why?...because they aren't. 

And if you simply cannot understand the simple concept without attempting to get into molecular physics at audio frequencies, you're hopelessly in search of something that isn't there. So much has been said that has been deleted because of contradictory statements....while trying to change the subject away from the original post.
