Just brought a used cable above.Can I confirm is the cable unidirectional ?
If not, which direction should I connect between my amp & cd player ?
Follow Ups:
If cable is labeled in Russian or another language using a different alphabet, how is directionality determined? What about Chinese which reads top to bottom?

I am also a bit confused, But if u ever used Monster cable, there do indicate the arrow on the IC to let u know how the IC should be connected.Maybe there is really no need to follow the direction of the wording for this IC cable ?
Another question come to my mind is "If this IC cable had been connected in this way for a long time ( it had already been burn-in )from an audiophile. U brought it from him & connect on the opposite direction as what he told u.
Is it o.k ? Directional of signal flow is opposite. Will it affect the sound quality ? Maybe in the short run. Yes. But after long hours, it's o.k ?What I mean its the time to burn-in again will be longer as usual even if its is a used cable ?

...thought it didn't matter. Just label it yourself and break it in and use it that way.

But according to my friend, the wording on the cable should be connected in the direction pointing toward the amp.I just brought this used cable from an audiophile. I think this is what he told me also, if I am not mistaken.
Just wanted to confirm from somebody using this IC ?
