| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @ausaudioUnfortunately someone has presented you with false knowledge. Those familiar with precision measurements and precision equipment are well aware of the impact of wires on measurement and regularly compensate for them. If they did not, no R... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts Thanks for your kind words of support, millercarbon!@millercarbonAs unlikely as it sounds there really may be a point where its more feeling than hearing. You know, I came to the same conclusion. A person feels audio anomalies with some "sixth sen... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @ausaudioI assume this is an attempt at humor?This is crystal-clear scientific logic. All radio-technical measuring devices are designed taking into account the fact that the conductor is a linear element. If we assume that the conductors are nonl... | |

I have my old blind relay driven switch box with RCA ins and outs but I have not pulled that out in decades. I decided on the wire issue decades ago.mijos... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @clearthinkerDifferences in SQ can only be confidently distinguished by properly run blind testing.If you are not testing blind, your results are personal and subjective and therefore not useful.Almost twenty years ago, when I first realized that ... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @bluemoodriver, thanks for your attention to this complicated topic. We need to clarify something about the difference and hierarchy of values in music now. You talk about the technical characteristics of the surface-noise and frequency response ... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @bluemoodriverThe difference between vinyl and digital is really big. The digital is like McDonald’s meal, makes everything pleasant, smooth and equally delicious, but has less natural taste and not very useful.Vinyl, especially early mono before ... | |

And why not imposing to them the legal obligation to buy a "listener" license after a course in electronic market consumerism to teach them what they must buy in the future instead of using this low graded and dangerous and "faulty" sense called "... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @mijostynwire is in no way shape or form directional. This is a great example of how our minds can trick us. Lay instinct is wrong 90% of the time..OK, this is your point of view. I believe you are not a layman, then please explain me the followin... | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts @bluemoodriverAnton - you set out the pass mark, you’ve done lots of work, so what was the result? Is directionality easy to hear as MC says, to the extent of 80-90% correct identification in blind tests?I admit this is a difficult question, the p... |
