Speaker cable arrows???

I bought a used pair of Silverline Audio's Conductor cables. Plugged them in 
and was very pleased with the neutral sound I was getting. Bare wire to the 
speakers, and bananas on the amp end. Then I realized that the arrows on 
the cables where pointing towards the amp. OOPS, I reversed the path 
direction, and couldn't hear any difference. Zero.
My preference would be to have the bananas on the amp end.

Can I disobey the arrows, and run the cables effectively backwards?

I believe that this thread has turned into the lower lower end (duplicate on purpose) of high end.

The greatest mystery surrounding wire directionality has not been discussed on this forum.

It is why all the posts made by the many of us who prefer our speaker cables inserted with the arrows pointing towards the amplifiers and our fuses inserted in the opposite direction of most have had our posts deleted?  Which of you are reporting us to the mods?  Is it too much to bare that we like our cables installed in the reverse direction?

^ Not only that, when I had one cable connected against the arrow and one connected with the arrow things got out of control.  Started hearing secret messages in music that was recorded with the same mixed arrow directionality.

Well if you do end up with any extra pills I will be happy to dispose of them for you, just as a favor of course.

Oh dear, and I and several of his other counselors had such hope that he was finally progressing.
