We are at an impasse. You don't believe in wire direction. And I am not in the mood to convince you otherwise. Current is a calculated number, it has no direction. Current is determined by the number of moving free electrons. There are two wires in an AC circuit, we call them + and -. Thus, when the signal comes into the speaker on one wire it is going out on the other wire, and vice versa. So direction is important, since wire is physically and electrically unsymmetrical. It's really quite simple. Both wire + and - should be in the "correct direction." Stranded wires are most like all in the same direction, that makes more sense than if they were in random directions. But they could all be the "wrong direction" unless the cable is controlled for directionality during manufacture. Like AudioQuest cables and power cords.

Well, isn't it wonderful that wires work just fine in either direction. I've been using wires all my life while not paying any attention to wire direction and they always seem to work just fine for me.
It sounds like you've got direction problems -- not me!
Good luck!

Excellent example of logical fallacy. Obviously wires will "work" in either direction, that's not the issue, Mr. Smarty Pants, but wires always sound better in one direction vs the other. I win. You apparently don't even know what directionality is. In any case, I leave you with one final thought. Two wires are needed for the speaker to work, + and -. The incoming signal on + wire makes the speaker diaphragms move out, and the incoming signal on the - wire makes it go IN. It doesn't take an Albert Einstein to see that the incoming signal on both the + and - wires should be in the preferred direction of the wires. You can ignore the signal when it's going away from the speaker in both cases.That's why wire is directional in an AC circuit.

Since all wires and interconnects in a stereo system operate just as you describe, how do you find an interconnect in which both conductors are assembled in the correct direction? In fact, how would you ever know unless you build your own? Even then, how would you ever know?
AudioQuest cables are all controlled for directionality, there may be other companies, most cables companies are blissfully unaware of wire directionality or choose to ignore it. As I said all one has to do it try it both ways. That's nit of difficult, is it? A fuse, speaker cables, interconnects.
