[Closed] Directional Cables, old hat

Just ordered loads of each! Can't wait to hear the difference.

All my Christmas shopping now done. Thanks!

Are people really that gullible?

Gullible people are like cock pushups.

One is all you need.

But does your power supply align your electrons? Wasting your time otherwise

Maybe you need these as you can't buy directional cables in the Bible Belt of America. They are banned because if you put the cables the wrong way around you hear messages from the devil...

Easy to laugh but you won't be so amused when you experience comb filter effects caused by very high sound pressure levels that develop in the corners when music is playing!

Holy crap - real, live, actual magic beans.

I'm tempted to order some, and then claim a paypal refund based around a claim that clear ziplock bags actually have a non-linear response.

Wow. They didn't even bother to set up a proper website for their scam.

I need an idea like this! I want to get rich by ripping off idiots!

I find matchboxes filled with jellybeans nailed to the window frames, to be more effective.

They make more sense than 650B.

Jesus wept,

I can't make up my mind whether its a genuine scam or just more hi-fi snake oil

Its like Poe's law for hi-fi bullshit has been reached.

These are the inventors credentials :

Geoff Kait obtained a BS Aerospace Engineering

what does BS stand for ?

The gear cables on my bike are directional, BTW.

Looking at some of the products on the home page I'm inclined to think they have a sense of humour unlikely to be appreciated by adherents to snake oil solutions.

It's a homeopathic reduction of BSc.

He stood near a university and some of the essence of a degree seeped into him, imparting great knowledge and wisdom.

Well, he WAS standing on a Ley line...

I only use £10 analogue and £3 TOSLINK fibres.

And I can do two cock pushups if I stop and have a fag in between.

Where's you god now? Sukka 😉

I don't have a posh hi Fi.Could I benefit from taping the beans to my ears or would Pat Butcher earrings do the job?

More ears.

The gear cables on my bike are directional, BTW

I fitted my brake cables the wrong way round and now I speed up when pulling th he lever.

A bs in engineering basically means he dropped out without obtaining honours or fully completing the degree.

Or go put it bluntly, achieved **** all @ uni and will likely never become a chartered engineer. Thus tries to make a living selling pebbles in jiffy bags.

Here you go chaps, knock yourselves out!

Place a plain piece of paper under any ONE of the four feet of a piece of equipment. This applies to any piece of equipment, even if it is not an item of audio equipment. Listen to some music for a short time, then remove the piece of paper and see if you can listen to the same music with the same pleasure – without the plain piece of paper in position !!"[/i]

Very good 😆 8)

But surely a dab of snake oil on each interconnect is just as good? 🙄

By honours do you mean masters?

I've no idea quite how bad you have to be to not get honours, but even I got them with my 2:2 despite actually failing a couple of modules.

And seriously, look at the front page of the site...............you lot are more gullible than the people buying directional cables!

Have you checked the address of PWB in Leeds?

😀
I tried the Belt stuff when they gave some bits & bobs away with one of the mags years ago.

I Duraglitted my mains plugs once too, but I was young and foolish then.

See also [url= http://www.coconut-audio.com ]Coconut Audio[/url] for magic lumps of fimo you hang off your cables.

Someone has spruced up the site in the past few years, but it used to be youtube videos of a man in his underpants explaining the "tweaks", along with written accounts of "vision quests" that gave him the ideas for revolutionary new lumps of fimo.

The homeopathic Brilliant Pebbles work best, but for maximum benefit you need the bag filled with essential oils from an Aromatherapy professional to prevent sonic friction between the pebbles.

Is it not a spoof then?

Maybe it's for those crystal people who want to mess with your auras?

The whole audiophile thing always makes me smile. I frequent a cracking little record shop just off Byres Rd. Every time I go in, I'll pick up two or three albums. Usually it's 60/70's Blues or Rock (although last time I did pick up a copy of Magnum's 'On a storyteller's night', 😳 ), and each time myself and the owner go through the same conversation. He'll start by describing the quality of the album sleeve, then goes onto the quality of the record / recording.

I have the utmost respect for the guy's knowledge, it's awesome. But as I explain to him every time, I'm listening to the music (it's Joe Cocker singing St James Infirmary from the album 'Something to Say' at the moment), on a crappy old 1970's Trio system, with crappy old 1970's Wharfedale speakers, with a needle that hasn't been replaced.....possibly in my lifetime. Most importantly though, when I'm in my room, listening to my music I'm almost invariably hammered and in no fit state to complain about lousy sound quality.....currently it sounds like ol' Joe's in the room with me, it's awesome!

I figure it's a bit like the old 'brake jack' argument. Apparently Orange 5's suffer terribly from this phenomenon. I've been riding Patriots and Fives from the early 2000's and have never noticed this thing. I figure I'm just not a good enough rider. Methinks it's the same when I listen to music. I could get a spiffing system with surround sound, plutonium plated cables and a turntable so well sprung it'd absorb the impact of a sizable meteor (although just the cats would suffice please), but would it sound any better to me than the setup I've got? Noop, I very much doubt it.

So I think I'll pass on those crystals, although some of them might be useful for stuffing into your shoes after a wet ride, and just keep listening to my dodgy music on my dodgy stereo. I've put John Mayall's USA Union on now...it sounds awesome.... 🙂

Sorry for rambling, I'm a wee bit pished!
