While you are right that twisting pairs or cable is done to limit crosstalk that doesn't really translate with cable speakers. It does make a difference when you're dealing with a digital signal where you don't want any interference that might drop down the transmission speed. In the case of pure analog signals it would take a lot more to disturb the signal before you start to notice it (and at that point your problem would definitely not be the cables!).

You are right Brent, unlike ferroelectrics, conductor itself isn't directional and plus with this size of cable transmiting audio signal, the direction shouldn't matter since electromigration is not an issue (and even if it does, this directional connection won't help but would make it worse in the long term). For those of you who are interested in cable comparison based on the 3 common quantifiable parameters (LCR), take a look at this: link

Then stop reading all about it...... Personally, I get a lot of amusement from it all!
(Please note: these comments are not to be taken any more seriously (hopefully) than any of the other comments / posts in this thread.

Just Bren... Brent (Tombari) WORKS for Axiom. I'm Bren R.
And thanks for backing me up. *laughs*
Ferroelectrics - I'm a bit old-school, they're still electrets to me. And on a need-to-know basis, that's pretty much all I need-to-know.
Same goes for electromigration. It can cause failure in ICs, and possibly in overvoltage line applications, but the general public doesn't really need an indepth understanding.

HEY!.....everyone, have I got an idea.
Why not set up a permanent "speaker wire" thread?
It would be the most apropos in "hearing things" for some, here...(get it?)
Or maybe, a new catagory, below the water cooler heading....... perhaps?

Better yet, a new cateegory called the Ring, everyone can settle their arguments there.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I limit my lost productivity by only reading the water cooler and technical boards.
