I use a couple of vintage MIT cables with their magic boxes on one side. Filter?, I could not say, but the boxes always go at the output. So, back to the previous post.
Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables
Are Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables directional? If they are how do you know which is the amp end and which is the speaker end? I only found one article at Positive Feedback that said the noise filter should be closer to the source but I haven't been able to find any information that would confirm that and the person who lent me his cables swears it goes the other way. I have listened, and do hear a real difference but it is unclear to me which is "better".

Given that a sound signal is essentially an Alternating Current of varying frequency (i.e. the electrons are flowing in BOTH directions), I don't see how a cable can possibly be directional. I also understand that this hobby is very much like a religion where its followers believe what they will, and no amount of logic will change that. I simply try to sort out the sensible folks from the delusional and stopped going to church when I was 18. I pretty much read these topics for laughs and to figure out who to ignore. |
@richardbrand If you actually look at any website that lets you purchase these cables, instead of generalizing from other cables, you would see that you can specify whatever connector you want for either end. They don't "come" configured a specific way. @stephenjfoster Believe what you will, but unless you are willing to listen your opinion has no real validity in my opinion. It isn't like I don't understand the basic physics and electrical engineering that supposedly governs what a cable can and can't do. |
@pinwa and god created the earth in 6 days a few thousand years ago. My point was it is a waste of time to try and reason with the true believers. Logic just doesn't apply in your world. Enjoy your system. |
Top-of-the-Line Furutech Nanoflux NCF Speaker Cable this is off their website, unless you have the one in 1 million where a guy orders it the opposite. Most likely when they talk about other combinations it’s spade to spade or banana to banana. Also there are different sizes of spade connectors, i’m pretty sure that if you hook them up the way the manufacturer says and leave them there for a couple days and then do a switcheroo. You will definitely be able to tell which way is correct hopefully. sorry about having to deal with the CDs(Cable deniers). I remember once when I got a pair of MIT Speaker cables that made it so that you could hear the ridges of the thumb as it strummed across guitar Yet after a week, it began to hurt my ear so bad that I ripped them out of the system. Luckily for me I found The Cable Company and they gave me a really good trade-in and now I’m rocking synergetic research foundation speaker, and four power cables(Plus some Audioquest, monsoon, black beauty, carbon special cables) No way does lamp cord sounds this good.
