I believe the pulling of wire thru a die does affect the sound of wire. The wire will sound different depending on which end is connected to the source. In the early days of directional RCA cables, the arrow was included so that the shield on the cable (which was only connected on one end) would be connected to the source. This is the prefered method of grounding in instrumentation systems. Today many cables do not have a shield. If the two conductors are wired in the same 'pulled' direction, then the cable can easily sound different depending on the may it is installed. I know of one cable that is not drawn thru dies. It may not be as 'directional' as others but I have no proof. (even if I 'heard' a difference would that be 'proof'?) I believe that a cables could be wired with the 'pull' in oppasite direction and then the cable might not be as 'directional' as other. .... just a thought
What direction should the cable go??????
As we all know, interconnect cables now come with an arrow showing the direction that an audio signal would flow.
OK...here is my question....I have Infinity RS 1-B's that uses a crossover for the bass system. All the interconnects are connected to the xover. So you have the pre-amp "flow" to the crossover. The system requires an amp for the mids and highs and an amp for the bass (this is a bi-amped system). What direction should the interconnects be???? Should the arrow (flow) go towards the xover from the amps or to the amps from the xover????
