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?

^ Not only that, when I had one cable connected against the arrow and one connected with the arrow things got out of control.  Started hearing secret messages in music that was recorded with the same mixed arrow directionality.

Oh crap my home depot wire is not marked with the direction I should install them.  Does anyone know which direction will work best?  I'm freaking out here.

geoffkait,


I have some odd feeling that I am not the only one missing points of your posts.

It is cute watching you flapping around pretending that you are ahead of the game. In this case, you simply cannot be. It would reverse all the theories of time, space, and pretty much everything else. Quantum physics and wire directionality would be turned upside down. Or back and forth.


Be careful with electrical statements, too. These guys seem to have read another book since 1950s. Maybe there was something new in 1970s. Keep it up.

And thank you for the meltdown, too, glubson. I suspect you just woke up and haven’t had your smart pill yet. Hope you feel better.
