In Reply to: "Hi-Fi sense of direction" -- New Scientist on speaker cables, the same magazine that... posted by clarkjohnsen on February 16, 2007 at 09:57:00:
...that "directional" cables had shields that were grounded on only one end. Depending on how the component's grounds are wired, that could indeed create an audible effect, no new theories required--though I've got some directional cables and I've never heard this effect.To some extent there's a clash of cultures here. Scientists in academia--the audience for this magazine--are used to the free exchange of data and ideas. Things are different in industry, whether it's hi fi cables or pharmaceuticals.
I'd say New Scientist embarassed itself here. I could be wrong about directional cables, however. I've never disassembled one.
