I just love Audiogon. In my emails there is occasionally a thread I can’t resist. This one is a perfect example and it amazes me that someone would ask this and then others might entertain it as a serious topic. It’s kind of like driving down the road and seeing one of those little cars covered in SJW stickers. I always want to pull up next to them and see if they have three eyes or something.
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?
