Sounds like audiophile 🐂💩 to me... so is it any wonder he has bought into it!

Whatever works for you I guess, he's not exactly trying to sell it to anyone else .......

Everyone knows electrical signal flows left to right, like tidal waves.

The only time I would say the arrows may have a use is when a cable has a floating shield. The end of the cable connected to the output equipment should be the end that has the ground connected. Other than that... nah.

Seems the cable manufacturers never actually state that, as far as I know....

Indeed, as we hinted at in posts #14 & 23 👍

CD to amp connector cables often come with arrows on the cables indicating the correct way to connect them. As in the arrow pointer indicates the flow from CD player to amp. Does it actually make any difference if you were to fit them in the opposite direction? Odd question I know but some connectors don't have the arrows. Thanks

It all relates to direction from root to tip of the unicorn hair used in high end cables. 🦄

What? That it has a floating shield? Interesting!
Cannot see this on any of their current interconnect info.
