The old luxury car analogy again . Poll 100 random people on the street with the question why does a Rolls Royce cost more than a KIA . You will get a answer from everyone . Show them a picture of a $100 speaker cable and a picture of a $30,000 speaker cable and ask them why one costs more than the other . They will not have an answer . Tell them "your" reason why you think there is a price difference and they will look at you like you are crazy .
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

"" But that doesn’t make the wire directional from an electrical conductivity perspective. "" probably for a normal ’scientific’ analysis. But perhaps from a audiophile listening to the last tiny fragment of possible hearing acuity.. there could be a difference and a possible measurement no one has found yet? I personally am not saying there is. But no one can say with absolute certainty(with the current state of the art) that there is NOT. There are clear evidence about grain in copper/crystal lengths making a difference in the quality of sound performance. Something no one in audio thought of seventy years ago. Maybe there are still internal structure mysteries of the copper we have yet to understand. |
Photons don’t like traveling against the grain. The drawing of wire distorts the metals crystals near the surface, where most of the signal travels. Haven’t you ever seen the surface of copper wire under a microscope? If you shine a flashlight down a porcupine’s back the light will be less distorted when shined in the direction of the quills. See? That wasn’t so hard. Mystery solved! Whew! 😛 |
gdhal What I stated is untrue is Geoff's statement that all manufactured wire is directional.Why prove it offline? Why not submit your "proof" to the scrutiny of the group? |
