Just to clarify, the current is AC, or Alternating Current, so it goes both ways. Therefore it is better to think of the directionality in terms of a "source" and a "load". In a metrology (calibration) lab, the shield of a cable is usually only connected at the source end in order to prevent ground loops (I'm simplifying this a little). The arrows on the cable should be pointing toward the load, which in the case of a pre-amp to power-amp connection would be the power-amp.
Cable Direction
I am new to audiofiledom and would like to make sure my cables are corrected properly.
The cables have arrows in one direction. Should the arrows point towards the direction I want the current to go, such as towards the speaker from the amp? Or in another example, from the pre-amp the arrows should point toward the amp?
Thanks!
