RE: We all live in our own reality tunnels to a certain extent

It just seems odd that the only audio companies that seem to tout the directionality of the wire they use are cable companies.

I've never seen a transformer company that advertises that the wire in their transformers has been wound with wire that has been oriented "correctly".

Same for companies selling amps and other gear, even exclusive high dollar "audiophile" brands. Since their customers are presumably "Advanced Audiophiles" you would think they would want to reassure them that the wire in their gear is oriented correctly, especially if this might give them a competitive edge.

Speakers? Never seen it mentioned, either. And on and on.

Only audio cable manufacturers.

Not that I'm particularly familiar with such advertising. Perhaps I'm wrong and, if so, maybe you could give some examples of non-cable audio companies that do mention this issue.

What about cable companies that are not primarily audio oriented? Belden is one of, if not the, largest cable manufacturers in the world. Perhaps a few of their products are used in applications where it matters and labelled as such. But I don't recall seeing any of their products labelled for directionality.

Do the engineers at Belden need to "break free of their reality tunnels" too?
