it's around 50wpc, the link cable as all cables are directional but unless it was marked when it was first connected your stuffed.
Is the writing is in white or gold?

There aint no such thing as a 'directional' cable....

....unless it consists of series diodes.....

....otherwise, 'audio' is 'AC', and if indeed such a 'directional' cable is in your possession, i suggest you dump it in the water closet ....Sharpish!

Hi Mike,
I think they are referring to the end the outer ground shield is connected to. The inner shield is connected at both ends of course. Non- technical people err and call the cable directional. Makes me grimace.

when I hear it.

Hi everybody & thank you for your information , now as i understand it , cables ARE directional ie-- naim audio have a white tag on the cable which they say is connected to source.
to get back to ONIX cable , mine has a red coloured tag at one end
So there you have it .
