Mceljo,Which came first, the chicken or the egg?Quote from John Curl Interview.Page 15/18 and 16/18."I was working with Noel Lee and a companycalled Symmetry. We designed this crossover and I specified these onemicrofarad Mylar caps. Noel kept say...

Geoffkait,You really need to brush up on your reading and comprehension skills of what you have read..

I want to clarify something. I honestly believe that some people hear a difference in the directionality of cables. I just do not feel there is a scientific explanation for this. This a belief thing. I find that the only evidence that has been sub...

Here is the Link for the Sterophile/transport Delight article I quoted earlier..For some strange reason when I paste the link between the [url ]....[/url] brackets the web site is not displayed.

Sorry guys about the bad link in my last post above.Try this one.Charles Hansen.

Many people believe that we should be able to determine that cables are not directional if they present the same measurement from both sides hence two cables with the same measurements should sound identical. I don't believe this to be true. I ser...

The revelation that digital interconnects and their direction can introduce large differences in measured jitter was quite a shock. The differences heard between digital interconnects—and in their directionality—have now been substantiated by meas...

Jea48, directionality of a metal conductor is produced by the orientation of the crystal structure as it is pulled through the final die. As least that's what I think. The directionality is independent of the velocity of the signal, I.e., the audi...

If the signal is altered from one end of the cable to the other it is absolutely able to measured in a scope. That is what scopes excel at, measuring signals.So we can measure a bunch of different frequencies and see what happens to the signal, fl...

Kijanki,Thank you for responding to my question.12-18-14: KijankiJea48, I don't know if conductor can be directional but copper oxides are semiconductors. Their orientation might be related to grain orientation - a question for metallurgist.AFAIK ...

An experiment for those of you that use a CD transport and a separate DAC.If your digital coax cable has a solid core center conductor try this experiment.First listen to a good sounding CD with a strong female voice. Find a particular track you l...

The whole directionality thing really digs at me and does damage to our hobby. 12-18-14: ScvanI strongly disagree...>>>>>>>>>> Scvan,Did you miss this earlier post of mine? 12-18-14: Jea48Sure cables can sound differe...

Geoffkait,No.What I am looking for, when applying the theory how an analog signal travels down a wire, can a conductor be directional, especially in the case of solid core silver wire? For simplicity to start with, just a bare solid core silver wi...

Sure cables can sound different. Crappy ones sound different from good ones. 12-17-14: ScvanScvan,Can you measure the differences on a scope?.

.....,are you a electrical engineer?12-17-14: AudiolabyrinthNo, but I did stay at a Radisson Inn once.I must have lead a sheltered life until 5-17-10 when I read a response by Herman to a thread here on Agon. My first thought was, what planet is t...
