power cord directionality

good question....I just had an umbilical made, and the Male -female ends did not correspond to the indicated directionality.....
I did not notice the directionality indication until after using it for a short while'

No harm per se but umbilical cord with male - female connectors can only be plugged in one direction. Now my mono amps with external power supply came with umbilical cords with same male speakon connectors on both ends, like the one below with no directionality marked on the wire.

So when I asked the manufacturer, he said it should not make any difference which way I plug the cords. I heard no audible differences when I reversed the cord in other direction.

I have yet to see a professionally made power cord with male AC and female IEC plugs marked with directionality.

Our resident directionality guru @geoffkait may disagree with my assessment 😊

So a PC should be terminated with regards to wire directionality predetermined.

I guess it’s safe to assume fancy cable makers like Synergistic Research and many others are adhering to pre-determined directionality of the wires.

Like people who have been brainwashed, it needs to be deprogrammed, left to rest, and then reprogrammed.
