| Which cable Be sure to have he who shall not be named check your new purchase for "directionality" before use. | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? @andy2 Thank you for the thoughtful perspective on this issue.Seems to me that what it boils down to is that any actual differences in "directionality" of conductors is infinitesimal and therefore can have zero influence on an audio frequency sign... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? That might depend....Are the mini diodes all in series or are they each bypassed with a mini copper conductor?Also, which impurity in the copper is a semi-conductor?Germanium....silicon...or some undiscovered element causing this phenomenon?I need... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? If directionality and "diodes" exist in wire then I should be able to detect pulsating DC on the other end when connected incorrectly. | |
| Other forums? https://www.diyaudio.com/ for a DIY'er perspective. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? glupson, I think the real trick is to get all those walkman wires corrected for direction. And don't forget reversing the numerous circuit traces on the circuit board. Why there's a cornucopia of tweaks right there. | |

| Using a 100 Volt amp on our 120 volt power line ? How about a variac? It could be adjusted to his actual line voltage which can vary from one area to the next. They're available with integrated volt meters at a very reasonable price. Just a thought. | |
