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.

OMG

Still going strong...
All - give it up !
All AC currents flowing around you just looking @ this farce and pondering...wtf?
Do something else...bake a cake, rake leafs, shovel snow, water you gardens, wash, wax and polish your Cutlass...or.....or....listen to some music!

Back to the study, that fact that the difference of resistance in both direction is so small, it does beg the question if the study was valid or the data been massaged or skewed?

Also nowhere in the study said anything about listening impression vs. direction of the fuses.

djones51,

"...if I rip the wire out of my wall and reverse it instead of reading 121 volts as it does now it's going to read what?"
That is easy. It will read exactly 121. 121 is 121 going backwards. So, you are safe.

No way. It would mess up Poynting vector and that is a big no-no.
