Directionality Explained

I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

We have cheap 192kHz / 32 bit analog to digital converters and terabyte drives available which would allow any idea of conditionality to be examined and compared.

If there was any, and I mean any, bit of difference in cable direction we would be able to measure it.

The exception to this, of course, is shielded cables whose shield should be connected at the source. It has nothing to do with conductor direction as much as noise reduction though.

Best,
