All wire is cold drawn through dies, mechanically squashing the metal into shape. Well, I guess the people who make the Harmonic Technology, Acoustic Zen, and a few others may quibble, as they claim their wire is drawn when in the molten, or rather semi molten state. However even HT and AZ have directionality indicated on their wire. I believe this drawing is what gives wire its directionality.In one orientation the wire has definitely better highs. The difference can be subtle, and often times the sonic choice of ends can outweigh the direction. However, I believe what Dawnrazor has done is fine for audio That is my standard procedure, anyway.
