Seems to me some people need to reread the original post and some of the replies.

My post on the reasons for directional cables, is solely to do with geometry of construction. I carfuly ignored any aspect of being able to hear the difference. Oh yes I can hear it but that was not my issue. Oh yes I can also do techono speak too but if old nick can't understand [or doen't wish to] the very basic Noddy version there really is not a lot of point in deep and meaningful explanations. As for being patronising.... well more tongue in cheek really.

Seems a few people need to do a little more research and a little less pontificating.
