Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?

Did my previous post fall on deaf ears

The audio signal energy travels in one direction in the form of an electromagnetic wave from the source to the load.

If you accept this theory wire directionality can be better understood. It also explains how the type of dielectric used in ICs and speaker cables can have an impact on how the cable sounds in an audio system. Can people hear differences in cables? Use the AC theory of the signal traveling back and forth to explain how, why, cables sound different.

George what proof do you have of your claim the wire cannot be directional? Any actual experimentation building speaker wires or  ICs?

Solid core wire is extremely directional so just mark the end with some masking tape as it comes off the spool. Orient the wires so you have piece of masking tape at either end and terminate the wires. Throw it on a MOBIE or whatever overnight and then listen to it noting which way gives the highest image height. This is the correct orientation.

If you run the signal and return wires in the same direction you will end up with hot spots in the stage, normally at or close to the speakers, low image height and have a gaping hole in the middle of the stage...Keep in mind I am referring to the sound of the stage (reflections) not the individual instruments spread across the stage....Interconnects or speaker wires that have pianos wandering all over the stage normally have their signal and return going in the same direction....
