Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?


I'm curious as to why some interconnects are directional? Is there a physical internal difference and do they generally sound better and cost more than non-directional cables? Thanks for your interest.

the cable manufacturer listens to cables made with the first wire taken off a new large spool of wire to determine which direction sounds best. The rest is easy, no?
 

Something tells me you're just making stuff up here. I don't believe that for a second.

Would I kid you?

And now we have claims of photons travelling down pieces of copper. I guess that would be responsible for creating a truly holographic imaging experience. No wonder this topic always sparks controversy.

All electromagnetc waves are comprised of photons. I.e., not only is visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum made of photons, but also X- rays, gamma rays, HF radio waves, SHF radio waves - everything on the electromagnetic spectrum. Including audio signals. They’re all photons.
