Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
Al thanks for the recap. However the statements you provided, including second hand testimony, for the most, part are excellent examples of both Strawman Arguments and Appeals to Authority, both of which as it turns out are logical fallacies. Here...

George, obviously unless the cable manufacturer keeps track of the directionality of all wire the result will not be satisfactory.  If a cable manufacturer knows what he's doing having multiple conductors in a cable is not going to be a problem.  ...

George, please don’t put words in my mouth. I’m not referring to ICs with shields as that’s a different issue. I’m referring to ICs without shields. They are directional and have always been directional. And for the same reason that all fuses are ...

Al, thanks for your astute arguments, in fact HiFi Tuning agrees with you that the differences are quite small and they state that the small differences do not seem to explain the (large) differences in sound between the two directions. By the way...

Sonic Barrier damping sheets vs cork
Why not Sorbothane?  Mainly because Sorbothane is one of the worst materials ever foistede upon unsuspecting and gullible audiophiles. And it seems like the perfect material, right? Not too hard, not too soft. The only worse materials, if that's e...

Technical question on phase inversion.
We always get into the same phase lock loop. Lol. The guy who has studied this whole absolute polarity the most, George Louis, the Polarity Pundit, says that of the audiophile recordings one normally thinks of, you know, the RCA Living Stereos, th...
