Interconnect Directionality

Yes, push and pull is correct. That’s why I wrote it. The same idea is TRUE for power cords and fuses, too. Any wire in an AC circuit. That’s why power cords and fuses exhibit directionality. Including fuses in speakers. That’s why the statement, “All wire is directional,” must be TRUE. And why the common statement, “Wire or fuses in AC circuits can’t be directional because the signal goes both ways,” is FALSE.

You are showing a critical misunderstanding about the way electrical fields develop leading to induced magnetic fields and energy transfer in an electrical circuit.


Directionality can exist when one considers minor differences in cable construction and the timing of reflections due to transmission line effects that would differ in each direction, but those effects arise with very fast edge rates (not analog interconnects as the topic of this thread), not to mention that would also assume some level of impedance matching, something not really existing no matter "claims" when you have source and load impedances significantly mismatched and then non-impedance controlled connectors in the middle, and then cables that exhibit the exact construction end to end. Sure you could make a cable whose impedance changes end to end and that would be technically directional, even though you would be just changing the problem with the mismatched connectors, etc. etc.

However, you are implying something completely unrelated it seems w.r.t. fundamental conduction and energy transfer that is simply not true.

Potential and moving electrons everywhere in the circuit, whether moving in-bulk towards the speaker, amp, whatever, or moving away are responsible for the total e-field and b-field and hence are also responsible en-mass for the energy imparted to those electrons in the voice coil (which moves the speaker ultimately).
If you want to make an "instantaneously" in time argument, then only the electrons in the voice coil matter and the ones outside it whether moving towards or moving have mathematically 0 impact.

Semantics Argument. You say electrons produce induced E and H fields. I say it’s the current that creates them. It’s the Right Hand Rule in action! But the point is, setting aside semantic arguments for a moment, and cutting to the chase, directionality in wire is due to physical asymmetry of the wire. And we are only interested in the signal, current, electrons whatever you wish to call it, moving toward the speakers. That’s why one should CONTROL wire for directionality during manufacture of the cables. Failing that, the end user should always try fuses, speaker cables, digital cable, interconnects, BOTH WAYS 🔛 to see which way sounds better. Follow?

"You say" ... so you created a new hypothesis for electricity that you have not shared with the scientific community at large for peer review? oooookay.


So now we are down to the crux, since I pointed it out, the only justification is asymmetry, which would show up as impedance mismatches which gets us back to lack of high speed edges (frequencies) on analog interconnects, the short distance of said interconnects, and the already gross mismatch in impedance between analog interconnects and source and load impedances and connector impedances .... and no, not everything matters. Some things actually don’t matter.

No, I did not create the theory. Nor did I create reality. Reality is there to be discovered if a person is really interested in doing so. Take off your blinders and SEE! 👀 I’m glad you agree with with me about the wire asymmetry. Som there is still room for my theory, right? 😀 The first step in recovery is recognizing the problem. 🤗 I’m not saying directionality is all that matters. That’s an illogical argument. Of course there are other issues. Duh! But wire directionality is actually BIG because all cabling, speaker wiring, transformer wiring, capacitor wires, etc. are ....you guessed it, DIRECTIONAL. So we’re a long way from what is possible you know, sound wise. Follow?
