| Directionality of wire @geoffkait Excerpts from your last post. Obviously Bob thinks wire per se is very directional. He actually said extremely directional. The only question is if he’s right the way he places the directional wires in the cable - one wire in one dir... | |
| Directionality of wire almarg7,423 posts 08-18-2017 7:59pmAs for the "why" of whatever intrinsic directionality wire may possess, I note that even he says "I don’t want to speculate why wire is dir... | |
| Directionality of wire Al, (almarg) response, Yes, I see that now, Jim. He does not say, at least in that thread, that cables are directional; he is just addressing the wire itself. Yet it is also true, as we are saying, that the cable configuration he recommends would ... | |
| Directionality of wire almarg7,421 posts 08-18-2017 6:10pmQuoted from AA: If you run the signal and return wires in the same direction you will end up with hot spots in the stage, normally at or close... | |

| Directionality of wire @terry9, I ran across this thread. If you have not read it you may find it of interest.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/diy-interconnects-review#Jadem6. | |
| Directionality of wire Al, (almarg),Thank you for responding to my earlier post directed to you.If by chance you are still following this thread I have another question for you.I ran across this thread, in the quest of finding more information on dielectrics and how the... | |
| Directionality of wire terry9497 posts08-18-2017 11:31am@jea48 Yes also to IC's.Further to the above, I forgot that about 20 years ago, when I saw IC costs going stratospheric, I decided to do an experiment.I built a cabinet for ARC SP10 pre-amp and Nakamichi CR7, wh... | |
| Directionality of wire Cable Break-in There are many factors that make cable break-in necessary and many reasons why the results vary. If you measure a new cable with a voltmeter you will see a standing voltage because good dielectrics make poor conductors. They h... | |
| Directionality of wire Something that has not been mentioned, I do not believe, is the dielectric insulator used to cover the IC and speaker cable wires. The type of insulation covering over the wire may influence cable direction. Especially if the cables were broken-in... | |
| Directionality of wire nonoise 2,643 posts 08-16-2017 12:34pm@jea48 Thanks for posting that. Stupidly, I’ve always tried to type the quote after clicking on the "quote" icon and it only worked a few times. I could ... | |
| Directionality of wire Guys,It is next to impossible to follow your posts trying to figure out who said what in your posts.Quote See the little light grey box with 2 little black closed hooks just above the message box far left side?Enter in the message box where you wa... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help tomcy6,Thank you.You are correct. I guess I just didn’t check out the pictures close enough. Taking another look sure enough I clearly can see the shiny metal plate and the aluminum tag with the stamped date codes. In my rush I guess I was trying ... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help Another great sounding Siemens tube is the early/mid 1960s 7308/E188CC all grey plate tube. Some were sold here in the states under the RCA label 7308/E188CC.Not this tube though.http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/6000-to-9999-Types/SIEMENS-E188CC-... |
