Speaker cable arrows???

when I bought my B&W powered subwoofer I paid extra for the special audiot ( or is that audiophool) nano-ceramic cross-linking polymer subwoofer signal cable with which to connect the preamp output to the line level input on the sub. And I'm pretty sure it's directional since it has little arrows on it. But not having noticed the little arrows at first I inadvertently installed it in the wrong direction.After listening for a week  I noticed that the little arrows were pointing at the preamp. My common sense notwithstanding I moved the whole system away from the wall in order to re-orient the cable in the "correct" direction. This took quite a lot of time and energy given how obsessive-compulsive I am about connections and such. I even measure how far away the entertainment center is from the back wall at each end. No joke. Then made little marks on the floor in order to facilitate re-positioning without re-measuring. Finally, I sat down and listened to my newly re-oriented low frequencies. My heart sank as I failed to notice the "night and day" difference that any true audiophile would have. But at least I can be sure my preamp is no longer straining to force the signal into and thru the cable in the wrong direction. And my sub no longer has to suck the unwilling signal out the other end. I made up a new word here. "audiot". How do you guys like it?

I think what it all comes down to is this ;  what is the difference between hearing a difference and imagining that you hear a difference?  This is the essential problem with audiophiles. They don't understand that there is a difference between these two things.They think that they are the same thing. They think that if they imagine there is a difference then that means there actually is. It's very much the same as christians who think that because they believe then that means that their belief must be true.

hooo boy.
