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".

When there is a difference and it is not immediately clear which is better, simply install it one way and live with it for a couple weeks. Your ears will adapt to that sound. Then reverse and you will be able to discern the qualitative differences.

I use a  couple of vintage MIT cables with their magic boxes on one side. Filter?, I could not say, but the boxes always go at the output. So, back to the previous post.

Given that a sound signal is essentially an Alternating Current of varying frequency (i.e. the electrons are flowing in BOTH directions), I don't see how a cable can possibly be directional. I also understand that this hobby is very much like a religion where its followers believe what they will, and no amount of logic will change that. I simply try to sort out the sensible folks from the delusional and stopped going to church when I was 18. I pretty much read these topics for laughs and to figure out who to ignore.

@richardbrand If you actually look at any website that lets you purchase these cables, instead of generalizing from other cables, you would see that you can specify whatever connector you want for either end.  They don't "come" configured a specific way.  

@stephenjfoster Believe what you will, but unless you are willing to listen your opinion has no real validity in my opinion.  It isn't like I don't understand the basic physics and electrical engineering that supposedly governs what a cable can and can't do.

@pinwa and god created the earth in 6 days a few thousand years ago.

My point was it is a waste of time to try and reason with the true believers. Logic just doesn't apply in your world.

Enjoy your system.
