Daddy Dee Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out why the special length coax cables I purchased have arrows printed on the wire showing which way the sound travels. I did follow the arrows but I didn't want too just to be contrary. Do they have arrows on coat hangers? JJK Yeh. I have always thought that was silly, but came to wonder after a buddy made some interconnects for me. He built them with high end microphone cables. He used the two interior wires and connected the mesh shield to one end. In his experience the shield did a better job if tied to the upstream side. Anyway, I have wondered if this is the case with the arrow stickers on interconnects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK The only reason I can think of for a cable to be directional is if it is telescopically shielded. If that is so, the end that has the shield hooked up should be connected to the source. Unless, of course, you get less noise hooking it up the other way[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
