Well, it's possible that with a cable that's specifically designed to be
directional it might have a polarized capacitive effect, and in that
situation I could see the possibility for hearing the difference one way
or the other, but that wouldn't apply to a normal copper wire. In fact,
it would probably be harder to tell the difference between a lamp cord and
a "directional" speaker cable than it would be to hear the difference
between the "directional" cable hooked up forwards and backwards if this
is the case.

Naturally, I would opt for the lamp cord.
