In order to fabricate copper or silver into a strand or conductor, it is first cast and then drawn (squeezed through a die). Even finest high-purity metals have imperfections and grain structure, which due to the direction of casting and drawing become non-symmetrical structures without the conductor. In ways which are not fully understood, both analog and digital audio performance is significantly affected by these non-linearities. While AudioQuest doesn't pretend to fully understawnd this obvious distortion mechanicm, the solution is understood 100%. Use the conductors in the direction which reduces distoration!
