So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.

Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

Well I guess you told me. All the best to you sir.

edgewhatever,
Jerry asked the question:
"what does the manufacturer do to impart the directionality into the cable?"

My response was to THAT question.

The reason you started this thread is to argue with others about something you have no desire understanding. I have zero interest in that.

As stated in the first word of my post... My very cordial & friendly response was to Jerry (the fake physicist), not you.

Jerry,
One example IRT cable construction is floating the shield on one end, which is often done with phono cables.

Nonoise,
Yes, the username list was copied from another thread.

Edgewhatever,
I'm not sure of the correlation between what you copied & myself being blindfolded. If you are asking if I hear a difference in cables, that is affirmative & something I proved to myself about 30 years ago in a system that is much less resolving than my current one. What happen to your friend BTW?

yesiamjohn,
Since you're "new" here... Do you actually believe everyone who hears a difference in cables is delusional, or does that just pertain (in your opinion) to those who can hear a difference in wire directionality?

Interesting...

Thanks

Did the OP get bored? What happened to him?
