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?

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....




Mahgister, some things are not justifiable under any circumstance. It is important to know when that is the case.
Proposing ideas are justifiable under ALL circonstances...

It is the way i read his site and listening him...

HE DOES NOT SELL CABLES...

He is accused of lying here and assigned to a blindtest tribunal like a cables sellers...BEFORE ANYONE LISTEN HIM FIRST....

THAT IS MY POINT....

Blindtest dont replace politeness and civility and curiosity...


Mahgister, some things are not justifiable under any circumstance.

The way you accused an unknown researcher like Essien whitout even reading it and the way you treated an interesting stranger with unorthodox original complex ideas speak volume.... EVEN IF ANTON OR ESSIEN ARE WRONG.... Your behaviour is more wrong.... I will never mock someone BEFORE listening to him if he wrote a book or a site with in the 2 cases some experiments proposed ....

I could stand stupidity, or even hate, but i had difficulty with injustice....Sorry....


1. The OP, anton, built a tube amp he used to check directionality of wire. 
2. He said there was no electrical difference. 
3. He said there was a difference in sound.
4. The question is how can there be a difference in sound,
5. His conclusions, there is an "unknown signal" in the wire and humans hear it with a "sixth sense ". There can be no other conclusion. 

1. Me. Unless number 3. Of the test , sound difference , was conducted blind the test is flawed.
2. I am not attacking anton.
3. I am questioning his methodology for not using standard practice.
