Directional Cables. Is it a myth?

[wee tam]

and you have to remember , all the "big" cable sellers do not manufacture , they simply get a company like AEI to do this on their behalf , email say claud damne and ask for a tour of their manufacturing facillities and see if you get a reply / invite

NO wrong, we own the tools to our cable, it is made in the UK, not China or standard cable bought over the counter as lighting cable, unique to us, sorry.

[wee tam]

yes you are the exception , most have it made by others , didn't mean to rock your bot simply pointing out a fact ,hope when theres' a cock up you rewind twice so its going in the right direction

Just shows you the danger of preaching absolutes - someone's bound to pop up and bite you on the bum!

and big thumbs up to owning all the tools for your manufacturing process , must have been bloody expensive in the beggining buying a copper draw down etc ., bloody big proccess cable making

It was hell for nearly 2 years to pay for the tools. But done now phew and new tool for new cable.
Anyhow a cousin sent me this, give it ago for fun.

Yes the mind is very good at filling in the gaps and in seeing patterns.

Witness the missing vowels on some road markings - the mind fills them in naturally.

single ended (ie RCA) cables using balanced cable geometry with the shield connected to ground at the source end ony and left floating at the other end. Reason for that: To shunt unwanted noise to source chassis ground leaving the conductors free to carry the signal and not ground current noise. In reality single ended circuits have no common mode noise rejection so they will still pick up noise, but this design can be advantageous in helping prevent or minimise the effects of ground loop hum. Best used as marked but can sometimes sound better t'uther way around...just make sure to use both the same way or it defeats the object of the design!

This is how I construct my own tri-braided IC's (being overly intolerant of hum) and considering there is no shielding, in the traditional sense.

This just proves that we were all abducted by aliens and implanted with "auto-correct".

I've previously also dismissed the idea of directional cables on the basis that an audio signal is always an alternating current, and consequently the signal travels back and forth in the conductor. But some years ago i was informed that this is not the complete truth.
The signal is an alternating current that flows in different direction, but the ENERGY is always forced from the source towards the target, in one direction only. And the energy is not travelling within the conductors either i have been informed, rather as an energy field surrounding the conductors, more or less in theinsulation area.
Of course this may be all bull shite, and i can not prove this is correct, and probably not you either... To me though, the reasoning makes sense, and i usually orientate my cabling in the direction he manufacturer ordinates.
TBH the differences in my system are more of a psychological nature; I am content with knowing the cables are properly connected.

However, the swedish cable manufacturer TommyJenving, r.i.p., did manage to reveal measurable differences concerning cable direction.

Who did the 'informing', what is their authority and do you hear directions ?
