Thanks Tom, I'm glad you like them so far.
Just to help everyone understand the "directional" design of the wires...
Directional wires have an additional shield inside of them...
that is grounded at one end only, to help reduce any outside interference.
Directional wires are supposed to be connected with the "grounded" end being connected to the "source"
So you would connect the grounded end to your CD player output.. the next set, you'd connect the grounded end to the amp output, and so on.
Here are a couple close up photos of them as well.
