In Reply to: DIY AC powercord direction posted by steppe on December 30, 2006 at 12:42:54:
Some manufacturers (like AudioQuest) place directional arrows on cables. This is most prevalent on single-ended ic's, since balanced connectors and power cords can only be connected in one direction. My speculation is that the direction may have more to do with a floating shield than with specific wire directionality - although I am not sure of this. For DIY cables, unless there is a specific arrow on the wire, I wouldn't worry about it. However, I do recommend orienting the wires in a consistent direction, relative to how it comes off the spool, for both the left and right cables. I also recommend burning your cables in using a device such as Alan Kafton's Cable Cooker (or similar), then maintaining that same direction when installing the cable in your system.
