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?

...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.
Even $8K he has not justified. A quick search shows $10K for 0.05% accuracy out to 1MHz.
OK, some misinformation here.  You claimed your LCR meter can measure up to  "0.05%" of accuracy.  How does that equate to .004dB at 20MHz?  Seems like a slight of hand.  Unless you are referring to frequency response of .0004db at 20KHz in which case you sort of changing your story.  I don't see how .05% of LCR can equate to .004db at 20MHz.  Anyway, if your meter can't measure the difference between silver and copper cables at 20KHz, I am not sure it is worth that much, because anybody can clearly hear the difference between silver and copper cables.  Oh wait I know what you'll say.  You say these people are all delusional and you're right.  I guess it's the case of the whole world is wrong and you're right.

But data will not be on your side here.  No two cables will measure to have exactly the same LCR.  But oh wait I know what you'll say since you guys are all too predictable.  It's all "below human hearing threshold".  Like parrots repeating each others.  But a lot of these guys at the so called "measurement websites", have no clue about the science of human hearing.  If you have no idea about human hearing, how in the world do you know something is below the human hearing threshold.

I have to laugh at some of the attempts of these guys trying to measure cable frequency distortion.  They would compare the distortion of two cables, and declare that they are close enough to be all below human hearing threshold.  They actually tried to show off that they could measure up all the way to 100KHz.  I had to laugh.  A flaw measurement doesn't make it right even if you can do it at 100KHz.



@andy2 ...

Might wanna recheck what you posted. Several things are glaringly inaccurate. 

And...the link I posted to AudioScienceReview.com tested cables from 10Hz to 200KHz to within a 1/2dB variance...with mentions of the threshold of human hearing.
Do any of you guys that use measurements listen to audio equipment before you make a purchase or do you just look at measurements only?
I’ve purchased speakers just by looking at measurements. I’ve also ruled out components by measurement which is where I find them most useful in narrowing down what I want to consider. I relation to this post cables aren't very high on my list of priorities I pretty much stick with pro cables at a reasonable price,
