Being a bit lazy so haven't done a search to see if anyone has brought this up before.
I'd totally forgotten about this until yesterday when I was looking at a Belkin subwoofer cable which has arrows on it & then I remembered something I had heard a good 10 years or so ago.
Now please don't laugh but surely it's not true and wouldn't make a difference which way you connect your speaker cable from the amp to the speaker for example.
The rumours I heard is that you should connect speaker cable with the end of words printed on the insulation (if there are any) going in the direction of the speaker rather than in the direction of the amp as it supposedly makes a difference to how the speaker cable performs & therefore the sound reproduction you get
On the above mentioned subwoofer cable the arrows are pointing in one direction so I am assuming that you are being told to connect it with the arrows going from the amp towards the sub. But surely it wouldn't make any difference if you connected it the other way
