I’m not trying to convince you and I know I shouldn’t have responded to your or anyone’s post about this. If you hear a difference I’m happy for you. I mean that seriously. I don’t, and the math doesn’t support the outcome you propose. But that doesn’t affect your listening pleasure.

>>>>What a nice guy! If you don’t hear it that’s the way it goes sometime. But it’s you and about five other dudes who don’t against 50,000 who do. Guess who wins? 🤗

Me thinks Nordost marketing people come to audio forums for inspiration ;-)

>>>>>>Actually, Nordost is like you. They are agnostic when it comes to directionality. They must have the same “gut feeling“ you do. 😬

OK, so pulling the wire through the final die deforms the symmetrical metal crystals of the wire especially on the surface but also below the surface, probably all the way to the center of the wire. Then the metals crystals look like the quills on a porcupine’s back. So which way is easier to stroke the quills, against the grain or with the grain? It’s the same idea with the signal traveling down the wire, it wants to travel with the grain. When the signal travels against the grain it gets distorted. That’s why AudioQuest controls their cables for wire directionality AND polishes the surface of the conductors. Better safe than sorry! 😐

"That’s why AudioQuest controls their cables for wire directionality AND polishes the surface of the conductors."

They come here for inspiration, too, it seems. And then people from here go to their promotional material for inspiration. So-called circle.

After they pull wire it goes through annealing and recrystalization occurs. Controlled for direction is market speak. The current doesn't care a whit which way the wire is oriented.
