Owl,
That's kind of what I thought. I'm 33, so more ancient than you 
Oh, the nay-saying is there all right. But I'm not boring enough to go back through the thread and pull the out relevant quotes! I would argue that some of the "Justifiable scepticism" is open to debate 
I agree, but then I never claimed that "directionality" definitely existed, merely that I could hear a difference depending on what way my cables were plugged in. Whether the mechanism responsible for that experience was the effect of "cable directionality", I'm unsure.
