In Reply to: RE: Because wire does not have a direction posted by jea48 on July 04, 2016 at 09:19:01
I never worry about wire direction, but I certainly acknowledge that it might matter. I do a lot of building and modifying; if I were to do the work necessary to optimize the directivity of every piece of wire, nothing would ever get done. So, I choose to ignore it. I don't know who are the other authorities you cite, but I have the highest regard for Al Sekala, and I miss the dose of sanity and reason that he often brought to this Asylum and to any other thread to which he contributed. Nice guy, too.

He is talking about capacitors. That is an entirely different kettle of fish. He is describing the fact that even film capacitors are "polar" in the sense that one lead will be attached to the outermost foil and the other to the inside of the foil. The former end should be attached to the low impedance of the two circuit elements that are connected in series by the capacitor. In a bypass application in a PS, the outer lead should be connected to ground. This makes a theoretical difference in noise level, not necessarily sonics. Truthfully, I observe this convention when installing film caps but I have never heard a problem when I did not observe it.
