Directionality Explained

I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

There is also the voltage law which must follow the conservation of energy

The voltage changes around any closed loop must sum to zero. No matter what path you take through an electric circuit, if you return to your starting point you must measure the same voltage, constraining the net change around the loop to be zero.

Read this it will tell you everything you want to know about electrical circuits and then some. There is also some good links into sound and hearing read those too.

This may be the first time someone using his own logic against himself :-)

Think of a simple voltage divider. The voltage gets smaller and smaller going in the loop. Then at the source, it gets regenerated and we start the same thing all over again.  All the while this going on, the current in the loop is always exactly the same.

Since voltage is electric potential energy per unit charge if voltage doesn't sum to zero in a closed loop then you've violated the conservation of energy.

hmm... who said the voltage does not sum up to zero?  They always sum up to zero.

Also I don't buy the fact that the "resistance" is lower in one direction vs. the other as said here by Mr. Kaitt.

For example, each spool of wire consists of many many meters of wire.  If the wire always measure less resistance in one direction, then by the time you measure from the beginning to the end of the spool, the resistance may go smaller and smaller into "negative".  So this can't explain it either.
