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.

except in Australia!

I never said it wasn't chap.

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. 🦄

Chord Company do/did.

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

Maybe their Tuned ARAY and composite shielding migrated their floating shields out. But that was definitely drilled into us when I was retailing them. I had the pleasure of building my own Signature RCA and speaker cables - damn they were fiddly.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and comments. I can not rest in the knowledge it does not make a blind bit of difference!

However, you will continue to worry as some idiot put an arrow on said cables.....

However much you have convinced yourself it doesn't matter, you will use it as instructed, just in case! And every once in a while the "idiot" who put the arrow on it will remember that he put an arrow and have a little chuckle to himself.

It makes about as much sense as some of the things I have been told about cables. My personal favourite is speaker wire takes 100 hours to run in as the electrons take some time to flow properly. 😂
