While researching the Sigma USB cable and the Transverse Axial Polarizer I read the Patent Application for the DEVICE THAT USES ELECTROMAGNETIC POLARIZATION TO IMPROVE AUDIO CABLE SOUND QUALITY. I read where it was stated the invention should be mounted near the source end of the signal cable for maximum effectiveness. I was making sure this was also true for the coaxial S/PDIF cable. The Patent Application is an interesting read, and yes it is clear there is no physical electrical connection between the TAP and the actual signal conductors. Once again, thank you for the clarification.

The normal and predominant mode of propagation is the transverse mode when a signal is transmitted across a wire. This means that the EM field radiates in a radial pattern perpendicular to the direction of the wire. This is easy to measure. A longitudinal wave would move in an axial direction in alignment with the wire. Supposedly, this would nearly be zero but for reasons that are beyond simple explanations there does exist a residual longitudinal wave. It is a very small value. However this wave will impose a temporal (phase) anomaly. This is very difficult to measure. Evidence that it does exist is the simple fact that the TAP affects the sound quality. If there were no longitudinal wave and the wave pattern was purely transverse then there would be no effect.
Now the disclaimer: As stated in the patent application this is only the theory of operation. The reason that the TAP works may be an entirely different mechanism such as effects related to common mode wave interactions. A utility patent is a description of a unique device that can be clearly described. The validity of the patent has no relevance to the actual scientific reason that it works. Otherwise most patents would be invalid because most things that we think of as proven scientific principles are actually just theories. We can clearly demonstrate the effects of TAP and I created its physical characteristics based entirely upon the concepts of different modes of wave propagation.

kennyb123.......I appreciate the feedback on your experience with the Shunyata Alpha S/PDIF cable. Based on my outstanding experience and impressions of the Sigma USB cable I have every reason to believe my experience with the Shunyata Sigma coaxial S/PDIF cable will parallel the USB cable encounter. My preferred connection scheme between the Aurender N10 and the Esoteric K-01X DAC input is coaxial S/PDIF so that I am able to take full advantage of the oven controlled crystal oscillator clock the N10 employs in support of the S/PDIF outputs. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival on my new Shunyata Sigma coaxial digital cable.

I've found the same thing on the "upstream end", that the new Shunyata Alpha Ethernet cable brings a level of improvement quite comparable to the Shunyata Alpha USB cable. Which is to say, considerable. With all the various experiments I've conducted with my digital streaming front-end and various configurations over the last two or three months, I've come to the same conclusion as Hans Beekhuzen regarding digital playback, particularly streaming-based digital playback..EVERYTHING matters. Thank you for this interesting post.

My dealer is trying to talk me into upgrading from my Alpha USB to a Sigma USB. I’ll get there eventually.
