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?

But all the potential customers might think they were weird if they advertised it. It's like cryogenics, a lot of "audio enthusiasts" like yourself probably think it's weird, right?Audiophile fuse companies tell customers they should try the fuse both ways. Since, you know, all wire is directional, even silly little fuses. The fact some big commercial companies never heard of directionality doesn't surprise me, in fact that's what I would expect. I have to admit it warms my heart to think I know more about their product than they do.
An ordinary man has no means of deliverance.

We're talking about the same customers who the cable companies are marketing their wares to, "Advanced Audiophiles", not someone who's buying a home theater setup at Best Buy or Walmart.

So you claim to know more about wire than the engineers at Belden? Hilarious.
I know about wire directionality. They don't. If they did they'd put arrows on their cables. You figure it out.
"but like" is a deflection from the very specific issue of directional wire isn't it?
What question do you have I haven't already answered? When people start picking at my words it looks like the discussion is ended.
