Most cables are not directional and 8TC is definitely not (only some of the special geometry molecule cables are). However, when you reverse direction it will be a brand new signal path, so you will have to break in the cable all over again. It is to preserve the benefits of break-in that they mark the directionality on most cables. So go ahead, but count on a new break-in period.
Signal direction
My father is going to inherit my Kimber 8TC's but to use them in his system we would have to reverse the direction of the signal flow. Is this a audio no-no?
I don't want to re-terminate as he may one day upgrade the amp. If this shouldn't be done, is there a way to adapt a spade end to fit an old receiver with those bear wire push in connections?
