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?

Thanks to all for the posts on this thread. I will install the Zobel's this afternoon.

The MI(2)'s I am auditioning are 6 feet. My amp is an Arcam Alpha 8R which is a warm amp and have had no problems to the present with Mapleshade Double Golden Helix or Audioquest Type 4+.

After installing the "protection" for my amp, I am disappointed to say that the Alphacore Goertz MI(2)'s are still too bright, perhaps too thin in my system. I know from experience that my Paradigms can be painfully bright on the highs, so I am going to look further for a cable solution and return the Goertz MI(2) to the manufacturer.
