"All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to Network Player."
- lawl 12y agoThis will be perfect with the new HiFi Harddisks I'm developing at my startup. They'll offer HiFi data storage to make sure your crappy youtube to mp3 rips don't lose quality when stored over a longer time period. (I just made this joke in IRC too and somebody sent me this link http://www.enjoythemusic.com/hificritic/vol5_no3/listening_to_storage.htm http://www.enjoythemusic.com/hificritic/vol5_no3/listening_t... ) Maybe there is actually money to make off this!

- Dylan16807 12y agoAs opposed to what? There's a lot of variation in flash quality, affecting reliability and speed.

- lookahead 12y agoI'm surprised they didn't go all-out and feature-tick the racing stripes.
- dingaling 12y ago> For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. Ideally one should have a separate cable flowing the other way, too, so that ACKs aren't unduly delayed.
- wolfgke 12y agoThis can probably easily lead to problems with even slight differences in cable length. A network technician told me about problem that can occur in the network when the connecting fibres of ethernet outlets have differences in length (say, more than few millimeters).
- danellis 12y agoGigabit Ethernet already does have different conductors flowing in different directions.
- Dylan16807 12y agoOnly if you're using fiber. As far as copper: 10mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a low frequency. 100mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a high frequency. 1gbit ethernet uses all four pairs simultaneously in both directions at the same[1] frequency as 100mbit. Which is why wolfgke mentions problems when the different pairs aren't the same length. [1] Mostly. It's complicated.
- danellis 12y agoAh, yes, it was 100baseTX I was thinking of.
