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

Measurement of sound does not equal perception of sound.

Then why arguing about or against cable directivity?

By faith or superstition?

oups! i forget....

You claimed that all perception not reducible to measures are placebos for sure....

But wait a minute if some perception are not illusion or placebos , even being non measurable this way by a voltmeter or a frequencies meter , psychoacoustic made sense anyway....And perhaps for the cable, changing his direction is a particular "measure instruction" to experiment with by listening to it? A way to CORRELATE a physical information to an audible perception...

And perhaps cable direction made sense being an instruction to experiment with....

Then is all perception of sound reducible to known measurements or not? Say yes or no....

If like you just said measuring and listening are different why do you ridiculize those who experiment with it in the affirmative?

If cable direction caused audible differences then the measurements would vary depending on the way it was measured. If those measurements show no difference but audible differences are still claimed then listening could be used to see if there is something the measurements are not picking up.

Perception of sound happens in the brain. I know there are some instruments being used to measure things like emotional response to music but no we can't measure all aspects of human perception to sound. This thread isn't about that but measuring the physical devices carrying the signals to the reproduction of the sound waves before they hit the ear.

" If cable direction caused audible differences then the measurements would vary depending on the way it was measured."

And the day we discover the device or method that can measure the audible differences a human can discern, your comment would be correct. Until then your comment is non sequitur

For the record, I have not heard a difference in the orientation of a cable. But there is no science known to man that tells us it’s not possible. Given the overwhelming amount of individuals who have experienced the phenomenon, I’m inclined to keep an open mind.
