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?

And don’t forget to social distance the cables... come on guys, too much time and too little to do. Some of you scare away newbies.
Thanks for the input needlenose. 🤥
Oh dear, and I and several of his other counselors had such hope that he was finally progressing.





What difference?

- If the difference is not frequency dependent, or at least the dependency on frequency is small within the audio frequency band, then the impact of crystal structure would be akin to changing wire size.

- I am not aware of any non-linearities w.r.t. crystal structure either that could cause distortion, and there does not appear to be any energy storage mechanism of note either.


Where I am aware of crystal structure being an issue is at extremely high current densities allowed when temperatures reach superconducting levels.

Making a difference, and making a difference that is anywhere near the realm of audible, are the critical discussion points. I am not going to be able to tell the difference between a 1lb and a 1.001lb weight in my hand, though it can be easily measured.

Why wouldn’t the non-symmetrical crystal structure of drawn wire also make a difference in the signal transmission? Especially if the non symmetry was visible on the surface of the wire. Yes? No?

You now seem to suggest the signal comprises audio frequencies, I.e, the audio waveform. Is that what you’re saying? I don’t wish to put words in your mouth.

The Non symmetrical crystal structure I’m referring to Is the deformation to the natural copper or silver crystal structure that occurs when the wire is drawn through a die, especially to the surface but also below the surface of the wire.

“I am not going to be able to tell the difference between a 1lb and a 1.001lb weight in my hand, though it can be easily measured.”

>>>>>>> I’m pretty sure that argument is a logical fallacy.
