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.

The difference here is I never made any claim of any study with respect to power cable listening test.

If Mr. Geoffkait made such a claim, then he should be responsible for producing a proof of that.

I have never read any manufacturer of power cables claim their cable made sonic differences only that they "may " make a difference or we can hear a difference. Or here are reviews from our customers. If they went as far as to claim their cable really objectively made a difference they would open themselves up to lawsuits and consumer protection violations because if they went that far they would have to actually prove it.

So let's keep it to some people hear differences in power cables  not that it's already been proved.

For power cords the same principle of directionality applies as it does for fuses and cables. If only more companies followed AudioQuest’s example of honoring the inherent directionality of wire whilst constructing their power cords. Even stranded cables and power cords should be controlled for directionality during construction.
