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?

"In the case the solid wire conductor being pulled through a die the deformation is primarily in 2 dimensions. Hence the directionality."
Primarily maybe, only not. Which makes the explanation not quite strong. Sometimes, your posts are written so authoritatively that I have to look for the word that explains them differently.

Almarg and atmosphere get credit for their initially interesting but ultimately kind of lame and easily disproven theory that fuse “directionality“ is produced by the irregularity of the fuse holder, not by the fuse wire per se.

You, again, misspelled it. I am a mental detective.

I may be slow, but I am ahead of you.

Speaking of ball peen hammers, why isn't a claw hammer called a claw peen hammer??!
