Speaker cable arrows???


I bought a used pair of Silverline Audio's Conductor cables. Plugged them in 
and was very pleased with the neutral sound I was getting. Bare wire to the 
speakers, and bananas on the amp end. Then I realized that the arrows on 
the cables where pointing towards the amp. OOPS, I reversed the path 
direction, and couldn't hear any difference. Zero.
My preference would be to have the bananas on the amp end.

Can I disobey the arrows, and run the cables effectively backwards?

">>>>That’s because you’re a mental defective. 😳"
You, again, misspelled it. I am a mental detective.

I may be slow, but I am ahead of you.
"In the case the solid wire conductor being pulled through a die the deformation is primarily in 2 dimensions. Hence the directionality."
Primarily maybe, only not. Which makes the explanation not quite strong. Sometimes, your posts are written so authoritatively that I have to look for the word that explains them differently.

"...and suddenly all the helmet polishers come out of the woodwork."

This is getting creepy, I just polished my helmet. Who is spying on me?

"That’s why AudioQuest controls their cables for wire directionality AND polishes the surface of the conductors."
They come here for inspiration, too, it seems. And then people from here go to their promotional material for inspiration. So-called circle.

Why not move from 19th century debate to 21st century technology?

jetter,

You may not want to handle them. They, quite obviously, do not work as intended.

geoffkait,

I woke up long time ago, rode a bicycle for about 12 miles, talked to many people, had a few pictures taken, checked audiogon threads, sang Francesca with Fabrizio de Andre (on the radio), made a few decisions, and a few more things. No pills, though. You want update around lunch time?

geoffkait,


I have some odd feeling that I am not the only one missing points of your posts.

It is cute watching you flapping around pretending that you are ahead of the game. In this case, you simply cannot be. It would reverse all the theories of time, space, and pretty much everything else. Quantum physics and wire directionality would be turned upside down. Or back and forth.


Be careful with electrical statements, too. These guys seem to have read another book since 1950s. Maybe there was something new in 1970s. Keep it up.

geoffkait,

"Glubson, did you take a smart pill placebo?"
I, in fact, noticed and explained those teeth on April 22. I told you that you will get it a few weeks later.

Anyway, so you have something to reveal to your readership in a month or so. The secret in those teeth amplitudes increasing recently is in reporting logistics and death distribution. New York State has a very well organized system, augmented during recent circumstances. Many other states do not have it organized that well in real time so you get dips during the weekend. When proportion of deaths in New York was overwhelming, delays in reporting from other states were much less prominent. Once proportion of New York state deaths decreased, imperfections in reporting dilligence in other states became more visible.

You are welcome.
geoffkait,

When you are ready, I could tell you why teeth were less sharp in the beginning, until a few weeks ago.

I am not hotdogging ya.🌭

"The Devil’s Teeth. See curves at bottom of page,"
That is what happens when you do not report on weekends.

The reason for the weird cyclic “dragon’s teeth” curves of the daily deaths and to lesser extent the daily cases curves is that reporting is not consistent over the course of the week, all weeks.

That’s the reason there is an approximately seven-day cycle to the dragon’s teeth.

On Sunday or Monday the curves hit a minimum and hit a maximum later in the week.


OMG Have I created a Frankenstein monster? Have I been cloned? It’s like looking in the mirror. 👀

Does a person need a psychiatrist when she/he does not hear what is not there. or the person needs to see a psychiatrist when she/he hears what is not there?

We should ask Napoleon.
The answer you gave to yourself is in the word ZERO. Obviously, the way you want them directed is the way that is as good as the other way around.
