which direction do this cable go?


Do you know which direction these cables go?

Illuminations D-60 - has rubber wraps on both ends with the cable's name, one end has a serial number

Kimber Silver Streak SE - has rubber wrap on one end with the cable's name

If the cable has a arrow, that arrow is usually included only for convenience. (Arrow points from source to loudspeaker). It's merely a suggestion in all but THE most esoteric designs. Generally once a cable is broken-in in one direction, it needs to be broken-in again if you try to use in the other direction. So I'd say just pick an orientation and stick with it going forward.

I'm sure some nay-sayers will chime in telling us the futility of believing cables are directional once broken-in (or in fact they need burn-in at all). Use your ears.
On my D60's the black band is shorter at one end--That goes to the transport / source.
Plug the cable in one way and then reverse it and the way that allows the highest image height on the same recording will be correct....
I found that my D60 sounded more forward in one direction and more laid-back in the other. The maker, incidentally does not believe directionality exists, so you are on your own. My slight preference was for the direction that had a more forward sound. But the difference is slight.
