What about the type of dielectric, insulating material, used to cover the wire?
>>>>We are rather certain the problem is the wire, not the insulation because of the directionality of fuses.
What happens to the sound of an audio system if cables that have been installed in an audio system for 100s, 1000s, of hours are flipped end for end?
>>>>>Directionality of wire doesn’t go away by breaking in the cable or fuse, even after 1,000s of hours of play. In fact, in the beginning HiFi Tuning claimed that no matter which way their fuse was inserted it would eventually break in to be the “correct direction.” They later recanted that claim. You can try this for any fuse, flipping it around after many years. You should be able to hear a difference.
With cheap cables that use stranded conductors and PVC insulation there’s a good chance you will not hear any differences. But how about good quality audio grade cables that use better dielectric insulating materials?
>>>>I believe you will hear a difference even with inexpensive stranded cables and PVC insulation. Of course it helps to have a reasonably good system and a good listener To perform that experiment. As I said directionality is not related to the dielectric material. All this directionality stuff is not brand new. It’s been established over the course of many years. I realize it might be new to some.
Obviously shielded cables can also be directional if the shield is connected at one end only. But that is a separate issue from wire directionality.
