It also works the other way. I once changed one type of interconnect cable to another type (brand), certain that low output Z of source and short length of cable would take care of cable parasitics and the whole endevour was just to prove it's a waste of time.
Yet the new cable "sounded better".
Maybe they have the same furniture.
There's an episode of the TV show Frasier where he mentors a neighbor on style, and the neighbor then copies Frasier's apartment.

Different is often perceived as better, I often swap things backwards and forwards......cheap thrills
One end of my interconnects sounded like crap. I then realized it had fallen onto some dirty diapers.

But there you are comparing two different cables. The wire gauge, inductance, capacitance and shielding could all be different. That's apples and oranges. Here we're not even talking apples and apples, were talking apple and the same apple.
You are so right. Not only do I need to move, but buy all new furniture. But wait maybe the type of paint and floor coverings matters, and the windows, etc.

Hi Dan. I'm assuming the simple act of removing and reconnecting the interconnect didn't scratch off a little oxidization, enhancing signal in one channel?

You'd think that the semiconductor folks doing all the work on metal layers would have found this directionality stuff before. I mean just look at the body of research into electromigration and its mitigation! But, alas, but humble folk can hear it. Where did we go so wrong?
* I can buy there's a directionality to cables, but it requires a certain number of pathological conditions to be first met, e.g. loose connectors, failing solder joints that maintain connection when held "just so", etc. I don't think this is what is meant, however. 🙂

The exception to the rule is, cables with an asymmetrical shield connection can be and sometimes are directional.
And with that quote we can safely conclude that Synergistic Research is clueless about the difference between current and voltage.
Quantum illuminaries aren't touched by voltage and current anymore. That's just for country bumpkins like us.
Seen that. The shield is only connected at one end. And even then, most of the time swapping ends will be inaudible.
