Arrows on an IC typically indicate that the shield is connected at only one end of the cable. Ideally, you want only one path to ground, and the preamp is the logical choice for that. That means the arrows should go in the direction of the signal itself - which means pointing away from the source.
Synergistic Research Tesla series IC users, please help with direction > of cable
I just wanted to be sure all the SR cables I’m using are in the proper direction. Currently I have all the IC’s with the "arrows" pointing towards the sources, dac/transport, phono stage? Basically all the little blue lights are on the rca’s at the back of the preamp? The arrows are also pointing towards the main amp and sub woofer amps, again with blue lights at the back of the preamp? If anyone can please verify this is correct or wrong I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks
