A better question would be: Are cable direction differences audible?
... transformers are DC to keep from blasting everything with a 60 cps hum ...Sorry, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. A transformer will not pass pure DC. A transformer can’t work with DC - its primary coil would have a static, constant magnetic field, so it would not induce EMF on the secondary coil.
... Current for a 400 cps signal, for example, goes back and forth 400 times per second. It does not flow like water.Correct.
The current driven magnetic force pushs the speaker out 400 times a second and pulls it in 400 times per second ...No, it doesn’t. You’ve just described an 800 hZ (or cps, or cycles per second) signal. A cycle includes both halves of the AC waveform.
Directional wiring for alternating currents, such as for fuses, speaker, and interconnect wires, is pure witchcraft, i.e. fantasy.That’s not necessarily so. As Geoff pointed out, with a speaker cable, we really only care about the direction of the signal when it flows towards the speaker.
