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?

I don't care who is right...if I buy a freakin cable of any kind, and it has directional arrows, then that shall be the way it is installed. I also follow what chord recommends, and connect wires with the print reading in the direction of the signal, it makes me feel better. 😬

Not sure why but Audioquest has a lot of hates from the "objectivist" bunch. Their dBS has generated a lot of ridicules.

It’s funny to see these frequency response and distortion measurement.

This reminds me of the philosophical conversation the theologian had with an atheist.  "By participating in a discussion regarding the existence of God you have proved you believe God".

I have wires that are directional - balanced cables and internal biwire speaker cables.

Thus proving the theologian is a man of faith and not reason.
