HELP: Identify Monster IC directivity

Maybe someone here can help: I have a pair of Monster M950 interconnects where all the lettering is worn off. These cables once had directional stickers and lettering on the cables itself which is all gone. I unscrewed the termination sleeves and all soldering terminations look the same to me.

I'm wondering if directional arrows are just there to establish a set route or is cable orientation crucial?
Can anyone help?

Direction of signal will be concidered burning in the IC's. The flow of the signal will leave a signature on the IC in that direction.
But not all is lost. Make a decision on what direction to use the IC's and mark them accordingly. Then hook them up and with a little burn in time the cables will sound like they where meant to go that way.
