Telling Left from Right on unlabeled RCA cables


The gray RCA phone plugs coming out of the back of my turntable have no color labeling and no L or R on them. On one the "head" is about 3/8" longer. So which one is the left channel and which is the right channel to plug into the back of my amplifier?

Thank you!

one test for that is, if to have the same music on CD and a LP. Pick a disc that has definate info for the left or right channel, such as the stand up bass coming from the left speaker, or a vocalist singing on one side or the other. Then play the album and match it.
