directional arrows on interconnects

In most cases yes. The lines are designating one end of the cable be inserted into the source and the arrows point away to the preamp. The preamp cable arrows will point to the amp. etc. In my experience the correct orientation will sound best.

Both posts above are correct. For the layman like myself, plug the interconnect with the arrow always pointing towards the input of whatever component. Remember:arrow from output ---- to input.

Thanks..Kimber silver streak from CD source and Zu Cable oxyfuel from DAT source into integrated amp..Thanks

Now, isn't that clear?
