Interconnect Directionality
Have I lost my mind? I swear that I am hearing differences in the direction I hook up my interconnect cables between my preamp and power amp. These are custom built solid core silver cables with Eichmann bullet plugs. There is no shield so this is not a case where one end of the cable’s shield is grounded and the other isn’t.
There are four ways ways to hook them up:
Right: Forward. Left: Forward.
Right: Backward. Left: Backward
Right: Forward. Left: Backward
Right: Backward. Left: Forward.
There is no difference in construction between forward and backward, but here are my observations:
When they are hooked up forward/backward there appears to be more airy-ness and what appears to be a slight phase difference. When hooked up forward/forward or backward/backward, the image seems more precise like they are more in phase. The difference between forward/forward and backward/backward is that one seems to push the soundstage back a little bit while the other brings it towards you more.
What could possibly cause this? Does it have something to do with the way the wire is constructed and how the grains are made while drawn through a die? Am I imagining this? Have I completely lost my mind?

roberttcan" I am sure YOU can put some hard numbers around the capacitance, inductance, bulk-impedance, etc. of these audio cables and relate that to amplifier, pre-amp, and speaker complex impedance and what the typical impacts the values of these cables will have on signal transmission. I mean that should be brutally simple for you right? You shouldn't even need Google ..... now after you do that, please relate that to the average impedance and response consistency unit to unit (variance) between capacitors, resistors, speakers etc. in the signal change. I can wait and I am sure others would like to hear your brilliance." No one here is compelled, obligated, or required to conduct upon you're request, instruction, or demand any specific scientific studies, research, or explanation as to what they hear, percieve, and claim it is entirely upon you to perform such study, assessment, and analysis and since you state with unqualified, unrestricted, and absolute certainty I am sure it will be easy for you to comply with that which you insist others perform on you're behalf. |
roberttcan1"clearthink, you may think you are untouchable on this forum, but I assure you you are not. If you continue with this targeted harassment, I will respond in spades and you will not like it." Don't threaten me or other users of this forum it is a violation and I will not tolerate it from you or others. It is not for you to limit, restrict, or discourage posters and contributors to this forum from sharing, expressing, or explaining they’re thoughts, observations, or opinions and regardless of you’re opinions or threats. |
roberttcan"Not sure if your post is trolling, a serious question, or lack of knowledge. The questions really have little bearing on the question at hand. Actually I could not disagree with you more so I can only respond as you and state: "Not sure if your post is trolling, a serious question, or lack of knowledge." |
roberttcan" I don't understand half of what you said, probably less." If you are patient and polite you will learn more from this group do not expect to know everything right away you are still new here! |
roberttcan"This below is almost too stupid to answer" Then why bother what is the issue if we are all so stupid why are you wasting time with us perhaps you should find a group that is as smart as you because we don't seem to qualify! |
roberttcan" Stop. p.s. I dare you, no I double dare you to show anywhere I have been racist.' Wow a "double-dare" that kind of juvenile, childish, immature threat may work for you on the playground but not hear where at least some of the contributors are actual adults |
roberttcan"I seem to have a harassment issue" I find it highly unlikely, remote, and dubious that the moderators hear would harass you in any way. As one "contributor" hear is fond of saying: "That which is submitted with out evidence can be dismissed with out evidence." I have always found the moderators of this group to be polite, intelligent, and fair in they're treatment of those in this group and if you're experience is otherwise I heartily suggest that the problem may be with you and not with them! |

"I am in your head and you can't get rid of me, no
matter how many senseless questions you may pose on this thread :-)" That is pretty funny because by all appearance, evidence, and indications the moderators have gotten rid of you and you're argumentative, insulting, and frankly outright false, misleading, and deceptive statements, claims, and pronouncements for once and for all. :-) |
roberttcan"I will continue to ignore your mindless rambling" roberttcan you are the sole, singular, solitary expert on "mindless" you have been hear just a few days and 3/4 of all of you're posts have been deleted because of they're vile, insulting, racist content what is you're problem. If you continue I shall alert the moderators to you're abuse of this forum and it's many educated, thoughtful, expert users! |
roberttcan"Listen, clearthink ... your childish behaviour is NOT endearing. NO ONE asked YOU to do anything, but I will now. CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING OF VALUE or stop replying to my posts." It is not necessary for anyone to request my participation in order for me to respond to posts or draft, create, and publish new posts. It is not for you to limit, restrict, or discourage posters and contributors to this forum from sharing, expressing, or explaining they’re thoughts, observations, or opinions and regardless of you’re cherished, revered, and holy convictions you should not seek to silence those with who you disagree or who may have offended, insulted, or embarassed you by applying superior reasoning, knowledge or experience. " What did you do to contribute? Well that would be nothing." You are apparently ignorant, uninformed, or deluded. |
