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. 😬
So if they are marked with arrow, you are going to install then backwards? Not me, I'll install based on the arrows and be happy. Whether I hear it or not, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😜
