Acoustic Zen says the arrow points in the direction of signal flow, e.g., from CDP to pre-amp, from pre-amp to amps, from amps to speakers.

I see several big-name interconnect vendors mark directional arrows on the outer jacket of the cables.
How is it that a wire can be directional? It's a simple electrical conductor, how is it possible for it to be directional, to sound "better" when connected in one direction vs. the other? This does not make sense to me, perhaps someone here can explain how this can possibly be so...
