The signal does not "flow". The arrow just tells you at which end the shield is tied to ground. The arrow points away from that end. Usually grounding the shield at the source component (eg: preamp) is most effective for noise rejection, but not always. Try it that way first, and switch around if you want.
Cable Hook-up / Direction needed for Moron
I recently moved and I'm now starting to set-up my system again. I need DIRECTION with the cable hook-ups. Why I can't remember such an easy connection is mind-boggling...just call me MORON for short.
I state "DIRECTION" because all of my cables (ic's & speaker) have "ARROWS" for signal flow or "DIRECTION." Can anyone tell me which way the signal flows in a system and how to hook-up all the cables correctly...the cables I'm using are DIRECTIONAL and are designed that way.
I have these components:
T/T
CDP
TUNER
LINESTAGE PRE
PHONO PRE
AMP
and of course SPEAKERS
Guess I had a brain fart or some kinda' temporary brain illness...THANKS!!
