What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?


Douglas Self wrote a devastating article about audio anomalies back in 1988. With all the necessary knowledge and measuring tools, he did not detect any supposedly audible changes in the electrical signal. Self and his colleagues were sure that they had proved the absence of anomalies in audio, but over the past 30 years, audio anomalies have not disappeared anywhere, at the same time the authority of science in the field of audio has increasingly become questioned. It's hard to believe, but science still cannot clearly answer the question of what electricity is and what sound is! (see article by A.J.Essien).

For your information: to make sure that no potentially audible changes in the electrical signal occur when we apply any "audio magic" to our gear, no super equipment is needed. The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'". This is about a 10% change. (Harris J.D.). At medium volume, the voltage amplitude at the output of the amplifier is approximately 10 volts, which means that the smallest audible difference in sound will be noticeable when the output voltage changes to 1 volt. Such an error is impossible not to notice even using a conventional voltmeter, but Self and his colleagues performed much more accurate measurements, including ones made directly on the music signal using Baxandall subtraction technique - they found no error even at this highest level.

As a result, we are faced with an apparently unsolvable problem: those of us who do not hear the sound of wires, relying on the authority of scientists, claim that audio anomalies are BS. However, people who confidently perceive this component of sound are forced to make another, the only possible conclusion in this situation: the electrical and acoustic signals contain some additional signal(s) that are still unknown to science, and which we perceive with a certain sixth sense.

If there are no electrical changes in the signal, then there are no acoustic changes, respectively, hearing does not participate in the perception of anomalies. What other options can there be?

To use the words of one who seems to think he’s a God above such mundane effects like bias are thinking like Children.
Are you able to think without speaking accusation?

He proposed himself a test and how to do it....

You cannot test wiring directions in a tube amplifier like a sold miraculous cables you just bought asking for someone in a crowd to test it...

You must create the conditions of the listening axperience FIRST....

A test did not exist before that....

You cannot equate what he speak about to the Ted Denney cable situation....it is not the same context at all...

it is insulting for him to do so....Why not quitting bad scientism faith and circus for experiments and thinking....


Unless the so call differences that are heard from the wire direction in his tube amp were done with a CONTROLLED BLIND LISTENING TEST then the result are WORTHLESS.
It seems that you walk in circle: cables are worthless without being blind test, his wiring is a cable then without blidtest it is worthless.... Repeat it.... Like a chicken walking...

He dont sell cable , his site is very detailed and interesting he proposed some other complex experiment with the way we wire an amplifier.... He come here to ciscuss this and how to hear and what to hear.... and more... And like a chiken brain you repeat the mantra that all he was doing ewas worthless from the beginning...


 Think about yourself and draw your own conclusion...

 i quit for now ....


Why don't you learn how to comprehend English before you thrash someone. I am talking about his test and how to do it. I am not talking about Ted Denney cable nonsense. HIS TEST IS FLAWED . Comprehend?? 
Mahgister, some things are not justifiable under any circumstance. It is important to know when that is the case.

Let me rephrase it. I did not accuse you. I proved that you did. Yes you did libel.
Go on, dletch2, why did you stop talking halfway? where is your mysterious proof?

I am not talking about Ted Denney cable nonsense. HIS TEST IS FLAWED . Comprehend??
are you a child?

How can Ted Denney could pass a blindtest before creating his cable design first and TESTING for himself his cable....

Blindtest are public test AFTER the design is already created.... Anton only give us his design procedure... Accusing him on lying because blindtest is the only way is pure bad faith....He blindtest his own design for himself like Ted Denney did...Save if it is a pure fraud... But accusing someone of fraud before trying for ourself is also a fraud.... Blindtest comes AFTER that.... Not FIRST....

Anton dont sell cables...

He explain how to create a wiring directed amplifier to TEST ourself what he speak about...

He comes to discuss his own experiments not to be accused of lying before any further good faith communication and discussion....

How could you accuse him to speak non sense because he has not blindested his own design before his creation?

Even God could not blindtested something before having created it....

After creating it God blindtested it in private like anton did...

Accusing God of lying after his private blindtesting is illogical and impolite to say the least...Because you must try by oyourself before accusing someone.... Even Ted Denney could not be treated like that....

Believers of "science"  asking for blindtest  and accusing INSTEAD of discussing are only religious people here....
