Cable terminations

It can't be the termination that is responsible for the directionality. The same argument can be applied here to cable connectors as for the argument that fuses are directional because of some asymmetry or defect in one fuse holder end. Directionality in wire is *repeatable* (and predictable) and *transferrable* whereas directionality of fuse holders and cable terminations, if any, is not. It would be random, no?

Of course if both terminations of the cable were equality "problematic" the cable should sound the same either way. But the cable in that particular won't sound the same due to wire directionality. I'm also dismissing shielding as the prime suspect since I'm referring to the wire itself being directional. Shielding just adds another layer of variables to the equation.
