RE: Questions?

Stu: "For many, the differences are rather small, sometimes insignificant for some, but I can still hear them. For me, the difference is important enough to always code the ends."

You: "Logically if AC signal cables were in any way directional the signal, when reaching its destination, would have to be grossly distorted."

I'd say your "logic" has a few bugs in it. Stu has identified directionality as a subtle effect. You claim that if it isn't gross it's nonexistent. See the disconnect?

I've heard it and at least in that instance it was subtle, but like Stu I too thought it worth controlling-for as it was easy and free since I was building my own cables anyway. It was subtle enough that I just assumed that it would be tough to measure so I really didn't try. It was most evident in the sound of soprano sibilences.

Might be fun to look at further one day. I still have most of the same stuff around.
