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

You realize you are dealing with a kid writing from his mom’s basement armed with a Google Machine, right @nonoise ?

😀😂😂. Let’s just say this is a failed attempt to analogy 

djones513,973 posts05-13-2021 3:30pmWhy is it the direction an AC wire is installed only seems to affect audio systems? You never see people complaining about their refrigerator boiling eggs or stove freezing pizza with backwards wires.

In all seriousness, to the OP: who cares. 
Step One: cables arrive

Step two: if they have arrows, place them according to arrows

Step three: done

Why is this so tough??

Unless of course you buy stupid shit Christmas “wire” from Home Depot, and are wondering why they don’t have any arrows on them. 
Which begs the question: why do YOU even have to worry about the directionally of the cable?

As they say, the criminal tends to come back at the scene of the crime. Or something like that. And yes, the pattern is unmistakable, different name or not. Sick dude

csmgolf664 posts05-17-2021 5:09pmI see that Danad, ATDavid, Audio2design, Dletch2, and the sadly short-lived Hotdogbob (I am sure I am missing more) has crafted another profile within the last week. He keeps getting the boot and keeps coming back. It is truly a sad existence if all you have in life to keep busy is create multiple screen names on an audio hobbyist site, and relentlessly argue about stuff that doesn't really matter.

Some people ask a question to get an answer.

Other people ask a question for purposes of …. questioning. Because they know everything. 

And some people are delirious. To the point of being hilarious 

There is a very good reason why so many snake oil screeches in Audiogon recently who just joined here. With a very targeted approach:

According the site that should not be named (you can easily guess which one), Audiogon Forums is the last audio forum standing, the last one the militia has not been overrun. Other that those run by dealers with strong moderation.

 All members there were recently strongly “suggested” to create accounts and start posting here. Obviously none of them has any intentions of buying or selling anything. They don’t buy or sell audio gear typically. Not in this hobby for that.

A LUMIN U1!! Wow! Big advancements on the streaming front. I am shocked! What made you change your mind from “streaming from a laptop, or Chromecast Audio is just as good”? And zeroes and ones for streaming is all there is to it? 

It was a rhetorical question. I knew what were you going to say. I always know what you fair folks would say before I even ask a question. Very predictable gents.

It’s like the third lieutenant in command with the audio militia over at the audio super reinforcement forums with a Mola Mola Tambaquie DAC he owns vs. a Topping DAC. He paid all this extra money (huge difference in price between the two) just for the looks apparently, because they measure the same and therefore sound the same

I can assure everyone here edgewound is NOT Dletch2, Audio2Design, Atdavid, Dannad, etc. or any of the reiterates of that entity. That one was way smarter, and knew a thing or two, despite the sick tendencies of what he used that knowledge for. This Edgewood guy is just a wannabe copycat 

Yup! Definitely not that guy

audioguy85867 posts05-25-2021 6:35amSo if they are marked with arrow, you are going to install then backwards?

What arrows? These types never buy any cables that have arrows. Out of principle. 

LOL!! I literally laughed when I read this. 😂😂

I have friend that’s a PhD in physics.

It is clear by now our “friend” Edgewood’s post here is not about the directionality of the cables. It’s about cables in general. That “snake oil”. 
Question for you: what is your audio system? Can you post it under “systems” here? Thanks 

@edgewound: Isn’t it time for your Roblox now? Please go back to your mom’s basement. 😉😬

Either high, or just a kid with a computer in mom's basement

Interesting…. What speaker “wire” are you currently using, and what speakers? Amp? Thank you 

Obviously. People with “state of the art” speaker wire from Parts Express: obviously they don’t have arrows. Therefore… wires are not directional. Very obvious. Case closed. Abort abort abort the pursuit
