What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
eagleeyeI believe, that when a Cable exhibits Directionality to RF signals, that it would also exhibit Directionality to audio signals, & Vice Versa!. No doubt. I would add the digital cables Directionality here.The method that I outlined pro... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@mijostynThe .3 dB limit of human hearing is right on. I spend hours adjusting frequency response in 0.1 dB steps and in direct comparison 0.3 dB is the limit of my hearing's ability to detect changes and this is switching back and forth between d... 
How to measure Cable Sonic Differences
My comment was not about the quality of his cables, but about how he explains their sound. Nothing more.He probably makes good cables, since people buy them. I can't say anything about it. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
eagleeye7Try it, if You find no directional difference, or that difference is masked by the items you mention, then IMHO, one would not be able to hear directionality in that particular Cable under test with the meter based evaluation. I can’t try... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
    @eagleeye7    To verify that a difference exists, in your cable, you need an old Tuner with a meter. Don't laugh, this is a very sensitive test instrument, just follow the steps below:First of all, I have to thank you for such an interesting ... 
How to measure Cable Sonic Differences
Garth Powell speaks of (specially??) distorted Baxandall subtraction technique  (see schematics and description here https://www.backtomusic.ru/audio-engineering/theory/science-and-subjectivism). To get a correct result using the subtraction testi...

djones51 I optimized some flac files on a windows 10 computer and couldn't tell any difference if anything the original flac sounded better than the optimized file but that's not listening blind so take it with a grain of salt. Tastes may diffe... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
cleeds, I can't comment on that either. The guy is going to ask the author a few more questions by mail. I'll let you know if he says anything interesting. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
I received an interesting email yesterday:Hello Anton!I wanted to ask your opinion on something, because you are one of the few living people I know who understands this phenomenon.I am talking about the subtle (not so subtle) loss of musical clar... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
wolf_garciaI just made another REL cord for a new sub and noticed the Canare wire I used isn't labeled for directionality...should I undo the carefully shrink wrapped and Speakon festooned masterpiece I assembled? Uh...no. I don't think it makes... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Interestingly, the changes in the sound associated with the replacement and orientation of the wires can be recorded and played back. After digitizing, the difference will not be heard as clearly as in live, but the nature of several consecutive c... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
djones51It's rather amusing that you consider bias as trivial but hearing unknown signals with a sixth sense is meaningful. Not hearing, but feeling. In my opinion, this is the only possible explanation if you definitely feel changes where they ca... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Dletch2The op asked a question. He received an answer. Unfortunately he did not like that answer. He is looking for an answer that will not now, nor ever be correct.Neither you nor djones51 answered the question, you just expressed your humble opi... 
EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!!
Amazing how much depth and palpable presence there is on such an old, and old tech, recording. The Ellington clarinet sounds better than a lot of em I hear today! Thanks!You are welcome! Ella’s track is also quite revealing, the natural piano soun... 
EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!!
sorry to interrupt, but since here an example of an old 78 recording on YouTube has been given, I want to give another example of how lively old 78 records can sound when special wires are used during recording, including special power cables, ...
