It’s easy for me to understand that cables CAN sound different one direction vs the other. It’s also appear that bothers other people.
My question is WHY? Why would it bother an individual if someone found a cable performed different one direction than the other.
A lot of the repairs I use to do on equipment were because "it didn’t matter", "I’ve never heard that before", "I never had to do that before"?
"no I didn’t read the instruction manual".
OR WORSE I did read the manual and that wasn’t in there. The it "It didn’t say not to", crowd.
The reality, is simple, to each his/her own. No need to argue when the whole point of the thread is to invoke one way of thinking. ANY middle of the road, normal person wouldn’t argue for someone else only themselves. There is no Sir Galahad here.
Starting a thread just to argue "YOU’RE WRONG" "I’m Right"!
What’s the point? I’m right, You’re wrong?! There is ZERO information in the thread proving there is "NO directionality". As I said and as a mechanic there are reasons to listen before soldering.
Because we can’t measure the EXACT differences we hear, IT (the change) doesn’t exist?
James B of Ampzilla built some of the finest amps around using a "LOOK at the wire" before solder approach. The difference in a piece of equipment voiced that way makes all the difference in the world in the way it sounds.
TO MOST that have ever heard an amp built that way vs not, it is not a subtle difference. The type of construct, the size, and LENGTH of wire runs makes a difference, but attention to detail like HOW the wire was pulled off working spools of wire in a build room... Mechanically joining all the solder point BEFORE soldering...
A lot of the GREAT builders don’t tell the public, How they get "THEIR" house sound. BUT they sure charge for it..
As for the "prove it to me" crowd, when YOU pay for it it’s all yours, when I pay for it it’s all mine.. Do what you want with your stuff. I’ll do what I want with mine..
I just started conditioning 13 cables on Cable Cooker 2.5, after I checked the draw of the cable. 4 were backward according to how they were put through the dyes.. I reversed the arrows and will cooked all of them for 14 days. NONE were pre conditioned or soldered. 13 cables 625.00 usd. I trust NO ONES WORK... Only my Cardiologist.
How you prepare a cable for maintenance, makes a BIG difference too..
Plug an DROP, may work, but just like direction, paying attention to detail nets some great results for many an audiophiler.
