Common Wadia! These forums have been boring of late, just trying to liven it up a bit.
Sort of like you saying that naim (for instance) is crap all the time 
Although I am interested to hear from you this:
Presumably directionality is detirmened by how it comes out the cable making machine. Why therefore do you need to hear it to determine direction?
Now if you answer 'because it varies' then you'll forgive me for saying that the whole directionality thing has to be nothing more than a persons personal opinion.
Sorry for the harshness earlier, I have done 60 hours work this week and wanted to spout, plus of course I have met you and you looked stronger than me!
