I purposefully did not include shields in my argument. Shielding is a separate issue. I'm not including connectors, termination types or fuse holders. Those variables only add to the confusion. The simplest way to see what I'm referring to is reverse orientation of a fuse or speaker unshielded cables. You should be able to hear the difference immediately. The directionality in wire apparently results from the deliberate distortion of the crystal grain structure during manufacture, wire drawn through die. The wire is compressed going through the die forcing the crystal structure to be bend backwards in the opposite direction from the direction of the wire going through the die, like porcupine quills. It's this physical asymmetry of the wire (all wire) that produces the "directionality."
