DIRECTION OF SIGNAL FLOW VIA INTERCONNECTS


CURRENT SETUP:
Arcam AVP700-Pre/Pro
Arcam P1000-Amp
Quad 22L2-Speakers
Denon 3800 Dvd/Cd
Transparent MusicLink 100

I have had this system for approx 2 years and have never really been satisfied with the overall tonal balance of this setup. After during a little reading I found out that my interconnects may be plugged in incorrectly between the pre/pro and the amp. I currently have the arrows of the ic's facing into pre/pro from the amp. Is this correct? I've always assumed that the pre/pro was the source.

Yes - as others have already said - arrows should point away from the signal source.
JPS Labs put arrows on their cables and interconnects. I am so dyslexic I have to really pay attention or will get it backwards. Don't know if it makes a sonic difference or not - haven't tried them reversed but since the mftr. seems to think it matters - I figure why not just go with it? I suspect I wouldn't be able to hear a difference either way - but there's lots of other things to do before we conduct that experiment!
