...you should have posted this in the Cables Asylum where it belongs. Skepticism is not allowed there, and scientific gibberish is only discussed when it serves to enhance one's belief system, never when it detracts.

The audio signal going through the speaker wires.... - Tre' 11:46:52 07/25/24 (1)
is AC. Wire direction can't matter.

Whatever problem with the wire that would create an audible issue by having the wire oriented one way would create the same audible issue if it were oriented the other way.

The above assumes that this is not shielded wire.

Side note, Sometimes single ended interconnects use two conductor shielded wire (like the wire used in balanced connections) and the shield is only connected at one end. Those are intended to have the shield connected at the source end and that is the only reason there is an arrow. It has nothing to do with the signal wire direction and everything to do with grounding the hum, picked up by the shield, at the place that they think is best.

  Actually the more enlightened cable companies like AudioQuest mark their cables and power cords with arrows to show direction of the conductor. AQ accounts for both types of direction, the shield and the conductor. It just takes a little thought, that's all.

Yup, it's one or the other. :)
