Yter cables direction

As for Cardas, and I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears they never got the memo on directionality.

Or maybe they just clearly understand the difference between science and marketing hype

>>>>The problem with your hypothesis is that directionality is supported by science, including measurements and empirical evidence. Haven’t you been paying attention? Cardas is what we call fat and happy. 😆

To restate my point about Yter cables and directionality - apparently, according to what Yter says on their website, they have some special metallurgical technique for eliminating or minimizing the effects of directionality by making the metal conductor more homogeneous than it would otherwise be, you know, by virtue of the wire manufacturing process, which biases the crystal structure in one direction over the other. Maybe they pour molten metal into molds, who knows? In any case, that presumably explains why Yter doesn’t use arrows 🔜 on their cables. Carbon conductors and liquid conductors I.e., Teo Cables might also circumvent directionality by being homogeneous.

The only reason cables are directional is that they may have different plugs on the ends.

>>>>>Actually, shielded cable with shield connected at one end only is an example of a cable that is directional. For a shielded cable to sound correct it must be connected in one particular way. If it’s connected the wrong way it will still work but it (usually) won’t sound correct. But I’m not referring to shielded cables when I discuss directionality, I’m referring to unshielded cables. If all cable manufacturers controlled their shielded cables for wire direction AND shield direction, that would produce the best sound. Follow?

“Please provide proof or other evidence...”

Please take a moment to learn the difference between proof and evidence.

This is a long going controversy. If not too much trouble, can I suggest you search the archives. I’m sure you will find plenty to threads that address wire directionality to be able to catch up on the subject.

“But what do I know?”

It doesn’t matter what you know. The thing you don’t know is that wire is directional, the subject of this thread.

>>>>>Exhibit A of not knowing what the word directionality means. To think some people accuse me of shooting fish in a barrel....🐟 🐟 🐟 “Not to start a flame war...” Funny! 😀

analgluber is exhibit A for someone who doesn’t know that much to begin with but is apparently incapable of learning. Not a real good combination. Now, let me ask you, gentle readers, who would you believe, Audioquest or analgluber? I mean come on!

Jitter, no offense, but did you by any chance forget to take your smart pill today? 😳

As if I needed to repeat myself for the millionth time but all cables are directional 🔜 whether the manufacturer acknowledges it or not, or if the cables are marked or not. anything with wire in it. (Sometimes manufacturers are a little bit slow on the uptake as it were or they never got the memo.)

i just saw where Yter mentions their cables address homogeneity of the conductor crystal structure so maybe they have a handle on directionality.
