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?

Wireless is both ways my tablet sends and receives the "signal energy" is traveling back and forth just like ethernet and AC in wires.

No, the discussion would be the signal energy is not traveling back and forth from the transmitter to the receiver but rather the signal energy travels in one direction from the transmitter to the receiver.

Skin effect isn't worth worrying about in 60htz wiring we aren't talking about microwaves.

So, you believe the “audio signal” travels inside the conductor, right? Regardless of whether the skin effect applies or not. I’ll ask again, the frequency of what?
