Directional?

What causes a cable (or interconnect) to be 'directional'? Can it really be true that electricity flows 'better' in one direction than the other?

Just curious. Does anyone have insight into this?

The only reasonable answer to this is shielding should be connected only at the source. Not all audio cables are shielded, and chances are good even this makes only a tiny difference.
