DIRECTION OF SIGNAL FLOW VIA INTERCONNECTS


CURRENT SETUP:
Arcam AVP700-Pre/Pro
Arcam P1000-Amp
Quad 22L2-Speakers
Denon 3800 Dvd/Cd
Transparent MusicLink 100

I have had this system for approx 2 years and have never really been satisfied with the overall tonal balance of this setup. After during a little reading I found out that my interconnects may be plugged in incorrectly between the pre/pro and the amp. I currently have the arrows of the ic's facing into pre/pro from the amp. Is this correct? I've always assumed that the pre/pro was the source.

The two previous responses are correct, arrows point in the direction of the signal.

Remember though, once the cable is reversed it could require hours of additional break in before it reaches maximum performance.

Depending on brand, shield, terminations and associated equipment, the difference could be startling. Possibly enough for you to change your mind completely about this cables merit.

I heartily advise you put it right and give it a chance before moving to another brand, regardless of who built the cable.
