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?

Tvad, I did and this was his response;

It's just an indication of direction for signal flow. After overtime use, the direction will be settled at what it used to be.

I'm not sure I fully understand, maybe you could help me.

The answer you gave to yourself is in the word ZERO. Obviously, the way you want them directed is the way that is as good as the other way around.

are these arrows painted/printed in yellow?
if not...most likely you got fake cables
this is the approved standard by the audio industry
