Directionality Explained

djones51

There are no definitive provable claims only marketing ...

A claim to "significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture" sure sounds definitive to me. But if you're a little uncertain about persuading a jury, make sure to file your claim in a state that recognizes implied warranties. Then you'll have all of your bases covered.

... I'm not rich so I just look at what tests there are out there that have controlled for biases.

So you make your audio system decisions based on others' test results? That must really limit your choices! Why not conduct your own tests?

... I don't care if a million claim they hear a difference in wire directionality unless it's through tests controlled for biases.

That's rather odd that you'd sweep aside the observations of 1 million people so readily, and it suggests you have quite a bias of your own.  Is there any reason you haven't conducted your own "tests controlled for biases?"

You can't sue over marketing double speak that’s what got Listerine in trouble they made a definitive statement our product kills 99% of germs and they couldn’t prove it.

Wow - now you can go after Listerine! It is made by Johnson & Johnson, a company with v-e-r-y deep pockets. That's probably a wiser target for you than suing anyone in the audio cable industry, because J & J is ranked by Fortune magazine among the top 100 US companies by revenue.

Here is J & J's claim for Listerine: LISTERINE® Antiseptic is a daily mouthwash that is clinically proven to kill germs that cause plaque, bad breath and the early gum disease gingivitis. LISTERINE® Antiseptic kills up to 99.9% of germs that cause early gum disease left behind after brushing.

And its claim that Listerine offers 21 percent greater gingivitis reduction than brushing and flossing alone is probably bogus, too. You're really compiling a preponderance of the evidence here and your suit isn't even filed yet.

You can read J & J's claims for yourself here. Why waste your time with the audio cable industry?

Does it say everyone will definitely hear a significant improvement? Significant to who exactly?

It claims to "significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture." You need only to show the jury that the claim is false. C'mon, file that suit and seek class action status. You'll get rich beyond your wildest dreams!

... I read the links I saw nothing actionable but then again I saw no evidence of anything said , that these products would definitely improve everyone’s listening experience.

I couldn’t have made it easier for you - I actually pulled exact quotes. WireWorld: "superior image and sound reproduction."

Maybe you prefer to go after Best Buy, which promotes an AQ cable that will "significantly increase the range of both color and contrast, which creates an even more vibrant and realistic picture." Wow! A claim of "significant improvement" should be easy for you to disprove, no? You can read the claim here.

It should be an easy matter to prove whether an image is better or not. That you’re not up to the challenge suggests you fear the result. C’mon, buy some WireWorld or AQ cables, demonstrate that the claim is false and get rich beyond your wildest dreams when you prove an entire industry is built on fraud. Good luck!

... there are tons of subjective opinions on fuses, power cables and wires of every stripe. What you will not find is any manufacturer of said things claiming they absolutely definitely objectively make a difference in your sound system. Their lawyers know better than to let them do something that stupid.

How about WireWorld’s "superior image and sound reproduction." You can read that here.

How about Nordost’s "... power cords deliver a level of performance not previously possible at their price points. " You can read that here.


How about Ray Kimber’s "braided wire concept not only rejected the (RF) noise, but allowed the system to sound different, better." You can read that here.

Those are just a few examples.

I’ve challenged cable naysayers many times when they bleat about "snake oil" and "fraudsters." File a lawsuit and seek class action, I tell ’em. Think of the riches that await you after you reveal that an entire industry has been built on fraud!
