| Directionality of wire I just Googled pathological skeptic and there was a picture of Mitch. | |
| Directionality of wire jetterDid anyone think that maybe the wire just needed to settle in at the new direction, versus it was inherently directional?That’s exactly what HiFi Tuning used to think. They used to be directionality skeptics. About ten years go. Then they di... | |
| Tonearm microphonics I submit that tapping tests are inconclusive or misleading. We know that cartridges (and tonearms) are designed to have resonant frequencies around 10-12 Hz. That’s so acoustic waves won’t excite their natural frequencies (since they the acoustic ... | |
| Directionality of wire Just point out the name is Abel, Cain slew Abel. Able was I ere I saw Elba. Carry on. Smoke if ya got em. | |
| Directionality of wire Quick, somebody hit the reset button! By the way, for that very reason I wouldn't ever use balanced cables. | |
| Directionality of wire fsonicsmithWhat is one to do with unmarked cables, there are 4 possible combinations of orientation if my rudimentary math skills are correct and I don’t know that four combinations can be remembered well from an auditory-brain standpoint?>>... | |
| Directionality of wire MitchBTW, since you are newer here, I will point out the most vocal "forum expert" on this directionality subject apparently lives off the grid and listens to a Walkman, so he doesn’t even use wires.Wires distort the sound. Didn’t you know that? E... | |
| Directionality of wire ghosthousefrom the Chord excerpt..."Chord speaker cables should be connected so that the print on the cable reads in the direction of the signal. In effect, the C of Chord should be nearest the amplifier."If print should read in the direction of s... | |
| Directionality of wire Exhibit C, the Chord Company,DirectionAlmost all speaker cables, in fact almost all audio cables, be they for digital or analogue are, in our experience, directional in that the sound will be better with the cable connected in a specific direction... | |
| Directionality of wire This just in! Are Anti Cables an example of a one man operation? Maybe. In any case this is the Anti Cable statement on wire direction. Let’s call it Exhibit B. This is taken from the FAQ page of the Anti Cables website. Since the Anti Cables are ... | |
| Directionality of wire If Chris has more than one fuse in his system, one reason why he might dismiss the difference between fuse directions as small is because some or all of the other fuses are in the wrong direction, hurting the sound, thus reducing the effect of fli... | |
| Tonearm microphonics Tonearms are designed to have a resonant frequency around 12 Hz or so that they can't be excited by speaker generated acoustic waves. Tonearms are, however, subject to very low frequency seismic type vibration coming up from the floor which conta... | |
| Directionality of wire But the OP specifically excluded single ended cables from the discussion. That’s why he also included fuses in the discussion. Fuses, as far as I know, are not single ended. The OP is discussing wire per se. | |
| Directionality of wire It’s always great when some excitable new person comes along and starts a new thread on wire directionality, especially when he is a skeptic. It’s a little like telling the same joke over and over to someone with a memory disorder - even though he... | |
| Directionality of wire FsonicsmithMy hunch is that 95% of IC "manufacturers", particularly the one man operations of under $500 IC’s mark directionality because they think it lends the appearance of technical sophistication and legitimacy."Question: Why on Earth would a... |
