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:
"... blatantly let their politics and prejudices influence the reporting. " Please support this statement.Their revelation of their scientific methods (my rephrasing): if you don't put up the data behind a claim, the claim is not worth much. What's wrong with that?
Follow Ups:
if the effect is as subtle as it sounds to me.Perhaps the problem here is the usual audiophile hyperbole applied to small effects.
...it may be considered important in this context.Incidentally I remember a well known designer of studio and sound reinforcement amplification visiting me. He was (is) very much of the "wire is wire" persuasion as are most people in that field. I demonstrated the effect of reversing a digital IC cable to him. His reaction? " Yes I can hear the difference but I won't admit to it".
The really bad news for cable DIY fans is that every bit of an audio cable may have a directional character: wires, insulation items, shields, damping items. It is a royal PITA to test these things.
That's why it's up to the individual to test for themeselves in their own environment....Something that scared, naysayers, around here fail to understand. That many historical scientific revelations start with the curious who say something akin to: "gee, that explanation doesn't sound right, let me test this for myself."
We live in unique environs, we like different types of music, we prefer different kinds of flavored sound playback devices, we hear differently.
No product will have the same level of efficacy with so many variables, no product can meet the unreasonable standards of "proof" that some unreasonable and intolerant "certainty freaks" here espouse....
Watching the reel as it comes to a close,
Brutally taking it's time,
People who change for no reason at all,
It's happening all of the time.

were you serious with your question? If not, I didn't get the joke........

Are you saying that an ic or spkr. cable (ground at both ends or no ground) could be directional when used to connect one pre/amp or one amp/spkr. setup and not directional with other pres/amps/spkrs?
