Just hooked up some new (to me) Kimber Heroes in my system the other day. I was disappointed in the sound. A bit fuzzy and no soundstage to speak of.
I checked the cables and there was no directional arrows, but I figured I had nothing to lose and I flipped them around.
Voila! Instant clarity, excellent instrument placement, yadda, yadda.
Now my background is in Physics and I see no reason at all for this. The RCA jacks appeared to be the same on either end, cable is cable from either direction.
I flipped them around a couple times just to be sure. The difference in sound quality was obvious.
Why?????
