"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.
Speaker cable arrows???
I bought a used pair of Silverline Audio's Conductor cables. Plugged them in
and was very pleased with the neutral sound I was getting. Bare wire to the
speakers, and bananas on the amp end. Then I realized that the arrows on
the cables where pointing towards the amp. OOPS, I reversed the path
direction, and couldn't hear any difference. Zero.
My preference would be to have the bananas on the amp end.
Can I disobey the arrows, and run the cables effectively backwards?

Apparently all you have to do is mention wire polishing and suddenly all the helmet polishers come out of the woodwork. djones51 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. >>>>>Speaking of pulling where did you pull that out of? |
I pulled it from how copper wire is manufactured. I know very little about it and this directional idea got me wondering as it made no sense to me. So I went and found out as much as I could on how they take copoer from the ore stage to the final wire that's drawn through the die and then on to annealing which isn't even the end of it but for this direction of crystals in wire it is. |
