Many cables ARE directional, and they will not sound right (Cardas case in point) if they are going the wrong way - I have tried it and you really have to have the arrows going in the direction of the signal path (as stated above by others).
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.
