Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable?

I am in the process of auditioning a pair of Alphacore Goertz MI(2) Veracity speaker cable. From what I have read these do not require much burn-in time, but the highs are sounding awfully bright and grainy. I've got Paradigm Studio Reference 20 v.2 monitors which have a metal tweeter (bright). But I can't believe the Alphacore cable could be quite this bad. There are no directional markings on the cables, no arrows that is. One end of each cable is labeled with the Alphacore name--is this to be considered the amp end or the speaker end? There was no instruction sheet and the packaging does not mention directionality. Can anyone advise?

The response by Lou is correct. Try the Zobel network
which Alpha-core will provide free upon request. Some
amplifiers with high negative feedback become unstable
with Goertz cables, and the Zobel will fix the problem.

I'm using MI-2 cables with a Mark Levinson 27.5 with
very pleasing results.
