[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 44242, member: 693"] The engineer who laughed at the claim that cables are directional has a point especially if he was referring to the actual physical wire itself. That would be pretty funny. Having a cable that could somehow tell which way the AC signal was flowing. 'Hey, look at em' arrows, it can tell which way the signal's flowing'. Note, I'm not referring to the actual shielded end product but the speaker wire. Some cables are directional because only one end is shielded. However it wouldn't surprise me if cable vendors claimed that the wire itself was directional. They probably do, hence the whole myth behind cables being directional. I mean, if a wire was better in one direction than the other it would exhibit some observable change in conductance depending on the direction. Of course, none exists but in pipe dreams, or those on crack. ;D Regards, [/QUOTE]
