Signal direction

While you'll get differing opinions on this subject, i would say that you shouldn't really experience any "directionality" problems with this cable. That particular cable is comprised of dozens upon dozens of stranded cables. It would be next to impossible for Kimber ( or any other manufacturer ) to make sure that each individual strand of wire was oriented in the "right" or same direction. While one direction might be "more correct" than another, i would not give this topic two seconds of thought if i was in your shoes.... Sean

Most cables are not directional and 8TC is definitely not (only some of the special geometry molecule cables are). However, when you reverse direction it will be a brand new signal path, so you will have to break in the cable all over again. It is to preserve the benefits of break-in that they mark the directionality on most cables. So go ahead, but count on a new break-in period.

Totally agree with Sean. I have tried this myself with my own 8TC and 4TC.

i once asked homegrown audio why they did not mark the direction on their interconnects and was told whatever direction you burn them in is correct but if you reconnect them in the opposite direction they have to re-burn in in that new direction. since then i notice they put arrows on their interconnects.

Excellent! That's good news. Thanks for your imput. Now if I can get him a new amp everything will be wonderful.
