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?

If current day scientific knowledge explains everything about sound reproduction, why do the self professed "engineers" have the very worst sounding systems? 

By 1945, our knowledge was doubling every 25 years. Today it's estimated to be doubling at around 18 months or less. If there is anything that we can be totally assured of, is that each and every so called scientific law know to man, will be proven false or woefully inadequate some time in the future. 

If you trust a measurement over your own ears, you are not terribly smart.

Note. I have not personally heard a difference in direction of a cable, but I have no reason to doubt those who claim they have. Science most certainly does not prove them wrong. 

" If cable direction caused audible differences then the measurements would vary depending on the way it was measured."


And the day we discover the device or method that can measure the audible differences a human can discern, your comment would be correct. Until then your comment is non sequitur

For the record, I have not heard a difference in the orientation of a cable. But there is no science known to man that tells us it’s not possible. Given the overwhelming amount of individuals who have experienced the phenomenon, I’m inclined to keep an open mind.
