Speaker cable arrows???

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.

Apparently all you have to do is mention wire polishing and suddenly all the helmet polishers come out of the woodwork.

>>>>>Speaking of pulling where did you pull that out of?
