Directional interconnect cables

"..... wires are diodes....."

Wires are NOT diodes. If anything, they are capacitors, either shielded or twisted pair.

I believe some people may hear a difference when the cable is reversed. This doesn't mean the cable is directional. It means the cable has burned-in in that direction and reversing it undoes all that......

HA ha that is where you are wrong 04rdking, burn in has nothing to do with directionality of the wire. It most likely has to do with the last direction the wire was pulled through the dies before dielectric was applied.

04rdking - Many people don't believe in burning-in either. Common measurements done with Ohmeter, Voltmeter etc get a little bit fuzzy when done at -100dB.

First solid state amps had bright edgy sound, while their manufacturers were proving (measurements) superiority over tube amps - later Transient Intermodulation and other effects were discovered. All I'm saying is that wire might have "some" directional properties and trust cable companies - they certainly know more and have more experience.

I see the OP hasn't been back to his own thread..... Have to agree with Tvad's bar discussion comment......

If you hear a difference, then great. Put the damn cable in the way it sounds best, to you, and enjoy the music..

I agree with you 100%
