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.

Good grief!  All of you flat earthers... just try it without condemnation.  Ignorant is easy.

Here are a couple of other heresies:

Firewire cables - reverse them and see what sounds the best

IEC C7 cables into gear - try inverting the cable into your gear to hear any differences.  This particularly important when using a Mac mini as a source... not subtle.

Just sayin’.  Before you belittle others do some easy homework.  Or, you can just copy from others and learn nuthin’.
Mapman.

it has nothing to do with directionality with the mini.  It is about the input to the SMPS and the relationship to ground.  SMPS are sensitive to input characteristics.
