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.
Yes, you appear to have been discussing it the last 20 years. Over 3000 posts by geoffkait on directionality. People are listening, but then they listen to comedy shows.
Another observation....'as electronics engineer' (from OP quote)...yes, they will give a diploma upon graduation even if one achieves 60% overall...so, here you have it....and there WILL be a difference between those and other engineers who had gone through school with 80-90% averages...not even mentioning differences in schools, and those are substantial in NA...
FACT from old teacher , a bad teacher can stop or hinder the average American student .
The worst teacher can NOT stop the 15% of American children who love to learn. American culture is the enemy of all American students from the worst ghetto to Harvard .
Well if nobody can answer the question I won’t worry much about it then. Probably not at all.
Unless there are arrows on the wires. Then I follow the directions provided.
I am disappointed though that @Geoffkait can’t answer the.....
last try...and lets call it a day and move on...to help other audio perfectionists..
so...audio cable have the same directionality as water copper pipes...I know...I had a pin hole leak in a line feeding basement washroom...had to cut out a substantial length and replace it with the new one....guess what?...I installed this new piece in a WRONG DIRECTION.....now, all bathrooms, kitchen, laundry etc etc upstairs, still have normal, wet water - and in my basement washroom I only get moist water :(
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 ?
What value of capacitor and how are you using it? 10,000 hour, 105C capacitors are quite common up to a certain size and reasonably priced with lots of different vendors.

All the lonely newbies, where do they all come from? 👶 👶 👶

Since we are talking engineering, my experience is, the ultimately better engineers, at least if you are trying to accomplish difficult work, are the ones whose marks were 80-90%, definitely not the ones near the bottom of the class. If they achieved high grades and had a social life, then they are usually the exceptional ones. There are some book smart ones, who are usually good at pure research, but not practical work, but there is a place for everyone.

Most people forget rather quickly whatever they were taught in school, just my observation. l mean, come on, most people don’t even use what they learned after they get out. What do you think on the job training is all about? It’s convenient to define knowledge as whatever is left after you subtract out all that you’ve forgotten from school. Which for many doesn’t leave very much. I don’t count what you learn on TV. That’s the way the ball bounces.
"What do you think on the job training is all about?"
Applying fundamental knowledge one has learned at school to a particular situation at work. Any more sophisticated job would be hard to learn from scratch while working.
It is a pandemic mode so I am providing you with basic education on the Internet. You seem not to have grasped the idea of school yet. That is why I bring it down to your level.
