i never mentioned that the colour of the cable was worth listening to.

but seeing as you mention it, i do believe it is, but amazingly i have virgin PTFE,unbleached cotton,and the knowledge base on dielectric constant to support my experience. so its hardly magic..

what do you have to support your belief in directionality?

can you hear it? can  enough people hear it to make the numbers significant.

you have neither a weight of opinion or an accepted  theory to explain it. neither proof of effect nor cause.

all you have is RA and his loyal wife..

i on the other hand, don't look at the specs when i choose cables, other than dielectric value for the sheath, because i'm unable to compute the outcome from the spec. it's not magic, there are just too many variables, it's just plain old too complicated for my feeble mind to calculate, so i don't bother i trust my ears.

exactly the same ears that tell me directionality is none discernable.

so if you are happy to accept that currently, directionality isn't worth worrying about, based on the consensus that we can't hear it,then i'm prepared to accept that the potential effect that doesn't matter does indeed exist.

let's take a straw poll,maybe we can all hear it, except me.

hands up anyone who has experience of hearing a difference by turning around a symetrical cable in their hifi.
