Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables

Are Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables directional?  If they are how do you know which is the amp end and which is the speaker end?  I only found one article at Positive Feedback that said the noise filter should be closer to the source but I haven't been able to find any information that would confirm that and the person who lent me his cables swears it goes the other way.  I have listened, and do hear a real difference but it is unclear to me which is "better".

I have always gone with the direction that the writing along the cables. You read from left to right so should be the direction of the cable.

Usually, as you said, the filter is closest to the source component.

@gkelly As far as I can tell there is no writing on the cables that could be interpreted that way.

@roxy54 Thanks.  I suspect you are right but I would like certainty rather than probability LOL.

No cable of any kind is directional unless it is made with some electrical component (like a diode) in-line between the amp and speaker. If you (generally) believe electricity can recognize one cable from another, you don't understand electricity.
