Directionality Explained

I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

You claimed annealing could not change the crystal structure. Try to keep things straight.

You need to keep a log. Your memory is shot. Eat more fish.

If made out of gold and given to your spouse then definitely herringbone. The peace that results will definitely increase music enjoyment.

In keeping with the OP's opening link, here's part II of what seems to be an ongoing thread over at Mono & Stereo: https://www.monoandstereo.com/2020/05/wire-directionality-part-2.html#more
Paul openly admits it's just a theory of his but I'm sure it'll provide plenty of ammo for the already entrenched, foxhole crowds. 
Ready, aim, write!

All the best,

In pt 2 the writer says,

“What does not make sense with my theory, is that music is traveling through the wire as an alternating current. This makes my theory difficult to accept. What is not difficult, is hearing the difference in wire directionality. I don’t know how to prove my theory, so it will simply remain a theory for now.“

>>>>>That’s a pretty big plot hole since all audio cables are alternating current. If he had paid attention to Audiogon Threads on directionality he would know the answer.
