You can claim that wire is directional, as it is, which will express as some reduction in SNR or IMD at some frequency bandwidth, with some given source, load, and connector and cable impedance .... because it is.
You cannot claim it is "BIG" because factually that is not remotely true, no matter how many pieces are in the chain, because the total chain length is short, the frequencies low, the dynamic range minimal w.r.t. that frequency, and variability of other components in time generating far large changes making detection of directionality (if there is any) pretty much impossible.
The simple act of getting your ass out of a chair, walking to your equipment, making changes to your equipment (cable direction), walking back to your chair, and sitting down, would create more short term physiological changes that would impact hearing and perception than cable change ever could eliminating any ability to detect changes short term.
Longer term changes in temperature and humidity in the listening environment, day to day, even hour to hour diet and health changes, etc. would again swamp out any potential difference in cable direction.

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?
