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.

"Thankfully, this thread has been free of the simplistic idea that the audio signal is alternating current."

Simplistic but true. However for interconnects the shielding should be connected at the source end, hence the arrows.
