If you use directional cables and connect them up the wrong way round
does the sound come out in reverse / backwards :)

You have to use those records that play backwards to correct for this.

The amp does not like the back emf and blows up

Only if you play a Country and Western record: the dog comes back to life and your girlfriend walks back through the door. :D

I'd have crawl away in shame and hide if I did that.
Nearly as bad as admitting to owning a Bose system! :eek:

The electrons in the cables will go on strike
According to Arthurian legend connecting cables the wrong way round could cause a magnetic shift at the Earth's core reversing the direction the planet spins and will almost certainly bring about the Rapture.

Probably not if they offer what one wants. But it isn't Hi-Fi in my book.

To me the whole cable directionality thing seems to be rooted in the complete misunderstanding that a signal, as a discrete thing, passes from source to speakers having been boosted and amplified at each stage. When this was pointed out then all the spurious stuff about diode effects and such was made up to counter it. Then when it was pointed out that the signal was AC and how that worked some other non-applicable science was spouted.
For me it's up there with Flat Earth and Big Foot.

What?!!! Wait a minute...you mean the earth isn't flat and there is no Bigfoot? Damn. There went my morning. :)
