| Directionality of wire IvanTrue enough. Caveat emptor. Wouldn’t have it any other way, myself. Well, actually, ironically enough, that expression caveat emptor does NOT apply to fuses as much as people think, you know, since most aftermarket fuses come with a 30 day gua... | |
| Directionality of wire georgehifi1: Every component you have has been designed using measurements.2: Any changes to the sound the designer needed to make was done using measurements then listened to.3: There is no voodoo in designing equipment by any designer of any com... | |
| Directionality of wire Ivan, I don’t know which Alan Maher products are giving you conniptions but if they are crystal based devices then one thing you might try, since crystals should really be "reconditioned" periodically as they lose effectiveness over time and get a... | |
| Directionality of wire Let’s clear up one thing. The accusation of hype and unsubstantiated claims is a common pseudo skeptic ploy but be aware there’s actually nothing wrong with marketing one’s product, even using hyperbole or what Judge Judy refers to as puffing. You... | |
| Directionality of wire Re 1936 Michigan Study on wire directionality vs conductivity. Quick synopsis: Old news and contributes little to what we know. We already know that the measured differences in wire conductivity are quite small from the fuse measurement data on th... | |
| Directionality of wire bdp24Doesn’t Audioquest make stranded cables? To make them directional, they have to keep track of the direction of each single strand, all throughout the assembly of each cable. Wow, that can’t be easy.I don’t think it would be too difficult. You... | |
| Directionality of wire Well, of course wire directionality wouldn’t show up anywhere except among audiophiles because wire directionality is really defined as the reason wires, cables and fuses SOUND better in one direction than the other. SOUND better in the artistic o... | |
| Directionality of wire jea48Can’t speak for stranded wire. (There in multiple strands of uninsulated wires grouped together under a common insulating covering). I do not have any personal listening experience with stranded wire. I can only speak for solid core wire.Tha... | |
| Directionality of wire Yes, I know him well enough to read between the lines. | |
| Directionality of wire Hmmmm, I wonder...are skeptics of wire and fuse directionality also skeptical of other controversial tweaks? Or is it just wire and fuse directionality that irks them? In addition one wonders if these skeptics are full time skeptics or just "weeke... | |
| Directionality of wire stfothGeoff--how about audible directionality in glass optical "cable?"I wouldn't think so. I pointed out recently on this thread that cables like those that employ carbon conductors shouldn't exhibit directionality. Since glass is homogeneous it ... | |
| Directionality of wire almargGeoff, the gentleman asked a question, and I responded by stating a fact. It was neither an appeal to authority nor a statement that involved logic, fallacious or otherwise.Regards,-- Al >>>>>Of course it’s a logical fallacy. ... | |
| Directionality of wire koestnerPut me in the camp with those that can hear when some ICs or speaker cables are reversed. (Those using solid core wire).Is the difference huge? NO. Subtle? Yes. But enough so, I prefer the direction that sounds best to my ears. As always, ... | |
| Directionality of wire almargStfoth, for what it’s worth I spent a bit more than three decades designing and managing design of high tech electronics for use in military aircraft, and in my experience the issue of wire directionality was never even mentioned, much less ... | |
| Directionality of wire But Al, the question does not hinge on whether you think the effect is subtle or whether you would lose any sleep over it. Once again you seem to be arguing just to argue. As with your customary assertion, "well, maybe there is some directionality... |
