National Grid sometimes makes us weep in frustration when we see our electric and gas bills every month.. 😀 (National Grid not only operates in the UK it operates in the former colonies as well.. 😛)
I make my own line cords, that is a subject for another discussion.. 😉
Wait just a darn minuet.
Speaker cables do have a polarity. There are red and black. Black is common at my house. Red is hot. I do not know about you but I ground one leg of output transformers. The black cable goes to ground. Now suppose if those east of the date line to the prime meridian ground the red one and those on the west do not ground the black one the balance would be broken. Just think your speaker cone will be moving in when it should be moving out.

You all are completely ignoring THE most obvious flaws in interconnects and speaker-cables..You must have a straight shot with your interconnects & cables as the Electrons flowing cannot have a bend in the conductors as the Electrons flowing thru the inner bend of a conductor arrive BEFORE the Electrons that are rounding the outer portion of the conductor.
This variance in Electron "arrival time" leads to all sorts of phasing problems that can ONLY be solved with arrow straight wires!😀😀😀😀😀

You forgot about quantum non-localities, gentlemen. If to synchronize all electrons in the wire there will be zero delay in the signal propagation.
In order to synchronize them it is not necessary to meditate on each and every cable. It is enough to meditate on a single "master" salt crystal, then synchronize all "calibrated" crystals with them.
Then dissolve each calibrated crystal in a clean bowl of water, then spray cables by water.
That's it! 😉

Hello,
Metallurgy tells us that that the grain structure of a metal is affected by the manufacturing process in such a way that its’ physical, electrical and magnetic properties are affected. These properties can be measured in the laboratory. For example the tensile strength of structural steel is stronger along the X axis than the Y axis. The magnetic dipole moment of the spinning electrons is aligned with the lengthened material as it is drawn through the forming die. The inherent magnetic fields of the spinning electrons fall in line as well, they become less inhomogeneous.
The short version of this is that if the material is the correct (pure) chemical composition and drawn through a die it is a better conductor in one direction than the other.
If you think that I am making this up go knock on the door at Los Alamos and ask. Perhaps a randomized double blind study?

Do you mean that laboratory in Los Alamos uses Newtonian model of electrons rotating like an apple around a head, never falling on it?
Sounds intriguing! 🙂
Hello Waveborn,
Yes that lab.
Do they have a spintronics lab in the Tessla Road facility near your house? We can go there and kick DIY up a notch.

Have you a link to this?
If it's a noticeable effect you can just use two wires (one for each direction) and create a better conductor. However the natural resistances in the system would swamp the effect, and you have two different directions already in a wire - there and back, so any effect will already be symmetrical..
Most of the 'directionality' effects of wires break down when the customer realises they are feeding AC into the wire, and that in turn goes into an aluminium voice coil - one of nature's less capable conducters.
What does make a big difference is Alnico speaker poles, combine that with pure copper wire and you get a great sound.
As a general observation:
Many people who spend £500 on cables have amps with 28p capacitors and 3p resistors capable of actually affecting the signal - always in Hi-Fi the money is spend on the pointless irrelevant stuff while the important bits get neglected. DIY should be the reverse of this 😉
Are you talking about anisotropy or unipolarity? In either case, I find the best music consists of AC signals.
Hello,
Rama rama ohm ohm.
I have been chanting overnight. I have seen the light.
The closer to avalanche super conduction we get the more polar it becomes. The conductor becomes more sensitive to the directional arrows placed on the jacket.
I have seen the light the answer is balance. A heterogeneous mix of left and right spinning electrons allows a nonpolar conductor. Yes buy them at Walmart. Next provide balance at the output transformer with a grounded center tap on the secondary. There will be hot and cold legs at the output that alternate between positive and negative that will balance out any nonlinearity in the cables (AC).
The beauty in this solution is that DIY can do it cheap and the vendors can make monster bucks.
DF96
More anisotropic than unipolar. The grain structure of the conductor drawn through the die is highly directional. I do not see the conductor as a single crystal. I do suppose we can grow them.

Gobulator,
You want a link? http://128.148.60.98/physics/userpages/faculty/Sean_Ling/papers/avalanche.pdf Search DC.
This is a fun dialog, solutions looking for problems. Still real. Increased conduction rides a wave of DC, polar by definition. If you build cables from polar conductors (diodes) facing opposite directions there will be a dead no conduction band in the center. We have reinvented crossover distortion.
Yes ordinary resistance will swamp the effects we are speaking of. But can you hear it?
Like DF96 I like AC music.
Is there a Walmart in Cambridge? Where do you shop for your cable?

Hmm - that paper seemed to be talking about hollow tube superconductors, whereas I just use room temperature copper. I could of course stick it in the freezer and call it cryogenic, but I would still be the same!
I use 12AWG wire I think from Maplins, a sort of UK RadioShack. It's for cars - car hi-fi stuff is great as there is no hype markup, so my 12AWG OFC roll cost peanuts 🙂
Gobulator,
I agree, even at the bleeding edge of science ordinary resistance wins.
I did buy a set of Monster RCA patch cords with directional arrows at a yard sale once.
