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.

jea48, "You guys can’t require measurements to prove what some people say they hear from cables, and then turn around and use your opinions and theories why all cables don’t sound the same." I was merely noticing that your questions... "Do all ICs sound alike? Do all speaker cables sound alike?" are a bit detached from practical reality. Get all the cables in the world and check them. Prove they are different. Once you do, someone will bring another one and claim you did not check them all. And be right. |
geoffkait, Better question is what happened to you last night. Why are you so negatively-charged this morning and without any wit? Speaking of directionality, I do believe in cable directionality. They always go from what is connected to what it is connected to. Or the other way around, depending on what side I decide to look at first. Now, why not some fuse directionality enlightenment sprinkled with a little bit of analog vs. digital? Light one, just for sunday morning. Before your bike ride. |
But if they are..."Just Marketing Schemes". .How is it they are still in business?Check "socialization" and "experience"... https://www.smartling.com/resources/101/what-can-we-learn-from-coca-cola's-global-marketing-success/ |
"Again, this logic suggests that our audible ability is so poor we couldn’t tell the difference. But it’s been shown our hearing is highly acute."I think there are machines that than sense sounds a human cannot. Of course, not every microphone, or whatever is used, will be that good but some are. Also, not every hearing is the same. When it comes to cables, many tools can figure out, let' say, 1V going through it. I wonder how many humans can sense it when holding that cable. Humans are highly sophisticated in some areas, but machines are getting ahead in some of the other ones. |
glupson geoffkaitI am beyond proud. Like every parent is when her/his little one finally shows she/he paid attention. |
thecarpathian, I am not sure they still offer Mozart edition, at least it was not available in their caffe in the summer of 2019. However, rest assured that other ones are as good, The original being my favorite, then orange, and then himbeer (I think it is raspberry in English, but am not sure). On a regular day, you can order them for delivery even overseas (Sacher does that, too). I am not sure if current situation changed anything. It is worth trying. If you ever get a chance, get a large cake, not single portion (mignon). For some reason, it is more marzipanny. I just invented that word, though. As far as desserts go, it is as far as you can get from Fat Bottomed Girl’s Cupcakes. EDIT: It seems that it works. I just ordered one original King to celebrate geoffkait's 22000 and my 5000. And you guys thought I was kidding. |
Directionality ExplainedPartially correct. There is more to that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_by_Northwest |
