Directional wires/cables

Do you even understand what response to impulse is, or how this is relevant to any and all signals? Very clearly not. Kindly stop posting things that do not have any connection to physics, history or reality, but only to your totally incorrect understanding of them.

                                                As I mentioned:

                                                         and:

        Once again: my posts are meant for those with a sincere desire to actually expand their understanding of our universe, to the available degree.

                             The obtuse/willfully ignorant, need not apply.

                                                 Happy listening!

It seems that unfortunately the forum is also open to people that post outright incorrect or irrelevant things. That's a shame.

       ie: The ldea that there are actually pictures of that electron cloud, that you mentioned (LOL)?

Well, this has been interesting, if a bit cranky at times. Discussions on these and other forums always seem to come down to "my Phd is bigger than your Phd" or something similar. Interesting, nonetheless. 

Many of the explanations are well above my understanding. I'm still struggling with how and why the current has to travel backwards as much as forward in my circuitry and how it must get to where it's going in the first place. I'm just glad that it does. My understanding of electricity and it's properties are pretty basic. It has a pretty good bite to it when it escapes and I'm able to turn it on and off with a switch. I enjoy many of it's wonderful properties without understanding it like an EE does. I'm good with that. 

As to my original question about non-directional interconnects and whether they can develop a memory, I'm still a bit puzzled because there is so much disagreement on the subject. Ultimately, I will let my ears decide and see which camp I land in or if I will just keep scratching my head. I do appreciate any and all who spoke up. Thanks guys.

"As soon as electrons become sentient and can discern differences in metal, then directional cables may be a thing. Until then, even a basic understanding of electricity would tell you it’s 100% marketing and makes 0% difference in the sound you hear."

This is 21st century science in a nutshell. "My basic understanding of science is more than enough to start making claims".
