So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.

Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

If wire had directionality to audio signals somebody would already have invented a device to measure and quantify it! So where's this device?

Engineering wise, conductor signal direction makes no sense, especially since we are talking about AC signals that change directions anyway.


Doesn't the electromagnetic wave propagate away from the source?

All we get so far are the wise sages listening to their wires and acting like the four blind men and an elephant!
