Directionality Explained


I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

This is a ludicrous concept. It has no effect on sound. Anyone who claims they can hear it is either very gullible to marketing or from another planet or on some psychedelic substance. 
lets move to something that matters.....  any engineers here to suggest which electrolytic capacitor is the longest lasting as long as being operated within its parameters ?  I dont want to spend 200 bucks per one and have it blow up in 3 years ?  Any practical experience ?
heaudio123,

I am intending to use about 33,000uF and up, depending on price and low frequency ripple current.  Among the 105 degree caps, there are quite a few choices.  What brand is usually the best ?  Nichicon had a great reputation, is it still the same ?

Thanks

thanks heaudio123. I typically buy from digikey. I think they will be reputable enuf. 
Thanks again
If something is not mathematically measurable, the result is very subjective and mostly snake oil. Since "depth", "image", "slam" and a lot of other audiophilic drivel cannot be measured, all claims should be taken with a ton of salt 😀 it is still mostly drivel.
