Floorstanding towers
Kosst_amojanI liked the Golden Ears I heard, but I think they err on the side of bright and forward which is rather typical of all AMT-type drivers. Not all AMT drivers are bright and forward. It depends on speaker designer/builder's taste. Ver... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?

jea48 What protection do you have in the event of an overload or ground fault event if the equipment is not fused? No protection. It is a risk I take. I don't recommend that to anyone. I wrote that here to show it can be tested and see the trut...

Copper rods in the correct direction always sound better. Not always. The copper rod sounds better in some components with large electric consumption. Usually, source components will not benefit from it.Alex

jea48Does the fuse restrict/limit the amount of energy needed for the piece of equipment to operate as designed?  Good question..... My guess is no.      I don't guess something like that easy to try. I have copper rods instead of fuses in my f...

5)If all wires are directional to a degree that is potentially audible it would seem expectable that the directional effects of a fuse wire would be swamped by the directional effects of the vastly longer associated wiring. In the case of a ma...

2channel8A lot of theorizing. Very little empirical reporting. +1.  jea48I think if you guys that have experimented with fuse direction and can hear a difference it is hard to justify if one believes AC current flows back and forth though the...

Hi jea48, I didn't mean blowing fuses. I meant the sound improvement (buttery smooth sound) with switching to the right direction for wires and fuses. @jea48Mihorn the direction of metal cable is physically made and the sound doesn't change with... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
Mihorn the direction of metal cable is physically made and the sound doesn't change with the length of time. I heard sounds of many 40-50 years old metal wires in vintage gears melts like butter (in sound) in 1~2 minutes. That includes fuses i... 
Can a small speaker sound really really good?
OP      I met with Alex at Wavetouch Audio. He was a very gracious host and we spent hours listening and comparing our speakers while talking about all sorts of audio.      The Antero sounds incredible. Huge, spacious imaging with superb clarit...

  kraftsound Linn K20 / Naim Naca 4 speaker cables are directional due to a burn in process at the factory. If they are connected the other way around they will adapt to that and after a couple of weeks they will sound the same as before. The...

JetterFor single ended interconnects that do not have directional arrows, how can you determine at which end the the shield is connected?Or if the shield is connected at both ends or neither?Take apart the plastic covering at the end of the int...

In one direction, music will sound relatively flat and a little grainy, as though being forced through a screen door. In the opposite direction, the obstruction is removed and music will be communicated with a natural ease, depth, and an open ...

Every cables have directions. The signal behaves differently with wire directions. One direction is cleaner, natural, and more focus than another direction. I test it and use it every day. Every audio companies should know this fact. The directio...
