Ten Years After at Woodstock, I’m Goin Home, on YouTube, with headphones of course. What a rush! 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Even standard stock fuses exhibit directionality. A clever fellow can address electrical contact, RFI/EMI, magnetic field and vibration concerns as well. Problem solved! 
Directionality of wire
smikellForgetting audio signal connectors for a second, and commenting strictly on AC power cables ONLY, I find the whole subject silly and mute based on one simple fact. AC is alternating current, as in it changes direction 120 times a second, or... 
Directionality of wire
audioman58I have tested directional wires, all this means is the wire was drawn and AngelesIn that direction , and through my Electrostats speakers most any changes can be heard . Slightly better a bit more pronounced . BUT, if you leave opposite ... 
Room treatments
I did not mean to imply that Sonex was ineffective. Nothing like that. Nothing that good. What I meant was that it sounds terrible. Even in very small amounts. It makes the sound all phasey like and wooly, unnatural. Sonex use in recording control... 
Room treatments
Foam panels are so like 80s. Especially if the foam is anything like Sonex, one of the worst things ever foisted on naive gullible audiophiles. And it seems like such a good idea, you know, with the photos of recording control rooms covered with S... 
Directionality of wire
AlmargNote, however, that for the reasons I stated earlier in this thread I for one do not totally rule out the possibility of wires (as used in cables) being intrinsically directional in **some** applications, to at least a small degree. In contr...

georgehifistfroth: And, dude, what is your fascination with sheep?He maybe a New Zealander? They have a thing with sheep. >>>I knew we'd eventually find something about which you're knowledgeable. Thanks for your expertise! 🐏🚶 
Directionality of wire
stfroth, I feel your pain. Feel free to unload your angst and disappointment here any time. My door is always open.  
Warm Sounding Cable
Quick interrupt, does the Cable Co. express an opinion on cable directionality? 
Directionality of wire
I really am sorry you were unable to get good results with wire directionality. Please give my condolences to your ears.

stfothAl--Thanks. I read some portions of the fuse thread, but, to be frank, I couldn’t make it all the way through.Geoff--You have a dizzying intellect.>>>>>OK.....Geoffkait:"Positive results are not due to any of the variables, th... 
Directionality of wire
I see your problem. Positive results are not due to any of the variables, they are obtained in SPITE of them. See the difference? Assume for a moment that directionality is real. Then the few audiophiles who get negative results MUST do so because... 
Directionality of wire
stfothGeoff--hasn’t a lot of this discussion, from both "sides," illustrated the lack of predictability, particularly with so many variables--some difficult or arguably impossible to control for?>>>>>I think you might possibly be mi... 
Directionality of wire
almargStfoth 8-2-2017Perhaps this has been adequately and succinctly discussed elsewhere, but, assuming all cables are inherently directional with sound differences from one way to the other, what might be some reasons someone, with a good trained...
