why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

Looks like gdhal is playing his silly little game again. Trolling for dollars with fake blind test scam. 😎

On the contrary. It looks like certain members create more than one user id. 😎

EDIT:

And Geoff, of course you could simply admit you’re wrong. That all wire isn’t directional. And, even if a manufacturer creates a wire intended to be directional, it doesn’t mean any audible difference can be heard with the naked ear. This way, by your admission, we can all begin to think clearly and not be concerned about whether or not ones anatomy is tough.

All drawn wire is drawn in one direction. Not two.
Now it may be there is some small tiny near impossible to to find reason that due to the way wire is created.. IE drawn through a die, that the claim of directionality may be true for all wire drawn through a die.
Now I remember ’cast’ as being a claim to advantage by a certain audio company. Perhaps they are right. and drawn wire has a problem?
In steel, it is certainly apparent that being rolled does change the properties of the metal. Is this also true of Copper when it is drawn?

The old luxury car analogy again . Poll 100 random people on the street with the question why does a Rolls Royce cost more than a KIA . You will get a answer from everyone . Show them a picture of a $100 speaker cable and a picture of a $30,000 speaker cable and ask them why one costs more than the other . They will not have an answer . Tell them "your" reason why you think there is a price difference and they will look at you like you are crazy .

elizabeth - All drawn wire is drawn in one direction. Not two.

But that doesn’t make the wire directional from an electrical conductivity perspective.
