Yter cables direction

The only reason cables are directional is that they may have different plugs on the ends.

>>>>>Actually, shielded cable with shield connected at one end only is an example of a cable that is directional. For a shielded cable to sound correct it must be connected in one particular way. If it’s connected the wrong way it will still work but it (usually) won’t sound correct. But I’m not referring to shielded cables when I discuss directionality, I’m referring to unshielded cables. If all cable manufacturers controlled their shielded cables for wire direction AND shield direction, that would produce the best sound. Follow?

@alexatops,
I know you know this but...
To answer your question and stay away from the debate on directionality, try the speaker cables in both directions (could mean multiple variations) and listen for a preferred direction. Whatever you decide upon always use the speaker cables in that manner.
I don't believe Cardas marks their cables with a direction of use for whatever reason?

To restate my point about Yter cables and directionality - apparently, according to what Yter says on their website, they have some special metallurgical technique for eliminating or minimizing the effects of directionality by making the metal conductor more homogeneous than it would otherwise be, you know, by virtue of the wire manufacturing process, which biases the crystal structure in one direction over the other. Maybe they pour molten metal into molds, who knows? In any case, that presumably explains why Yter doesn’t use arrows 🔜 on their cables. Carbon conductors and liquid conductors I.e., Teo Cables might also circumvent directionality by being homogeneous. 

As for Cardas, and I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears they never got the memo on directionality.
