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?

Assuming I have the correct Ted, that is probably an insult to Ted ... Bundy :-)

I assume Ted Bundy.

Doesn’t matter.



It won’t matter if you can’t HEAR the difference. I do believe that is the point. Some people can hear the difference and some can’t. Still doesn’t change the fact for those who can. Some folks need to wear corrective eyewear, WHY? They can’t see as well without them.... Not hard to see the correlation, but it sure seems hard for the "Doesn’t matter group".

Ask a lefty why they can’t throw the ball right handed, because they can’t (very well). Same with hearing...

I have two arms two legs, just like MR weight lifter, why can’t I bench 350 lbs? I have two arms, and two legs.

We’re not all able to hear so good. My LF hearing is taking a shi#. Bummer, I don’t get to hear the neighborhood BOOM BOOMs as well.
LOL My sub system is working great, how well do I feel it through my feet, my bottom, about 30 hz and down...Pretty good...

Before saying it makes no difference, go get a hearing test, 50-350.00 USD. Even free some places... Start there..

If you come back good, go see a shrink, they’ll help with the denial thing....LOL Don’t get all upset at me now... I got my own issues...

Respectfully and with regard...
"If you come back good, go see a shrink, they’ll help with the denial thing..."
Does a person need a psychiatrist when she/he does not hear what is not there. or the person needs to see a psychiatrist when she/he hears what is not there?

We should ask Napoleon.
