aliEnRIK:
All metals have a 'grain' structure
Yes
aliEnRIK:
meaning its quite feasable that electrons would 'flow' one way easier than the other
Wow, quite a conclusion you arrived at there. If you were right so we better check all the high voltage power cables around the country to make sure they are drawn the right way around (from power plant to customer). Oh, hold on, the power grids mostly use three phase AC (alternating current), meaning the current actually flips direction at 50 or 60 times per second? Probably doesn't matter then (if your statement was ever true in the first place, which it isn't). Oh, hold on, HiFi interconnects and speaker cables work the same way (the AC bit - not three phase)? Hmmm....
aliEnRIK:My personal theory is that 'most' cables you wouldnt hear any difference one way or the other, unless it has been 'burned in' a particular way then you should continue to use that way (Which is why arrows are a good idea)
Interesting theory, where did it come from?
Perhaps I'm coming across a little too harsh here, but the pseudo science nonsense thrown around on this topic really is quite astonishing. I recommend anyone who cares about some factuals around this go and look up Wikipedia for "Metal" and have a good read. If you don't care - fine, but save us the attempts to explain a non existing phenomena using pseudo science.
