The Cable Test - listen and decide

Genuwine lol, from the heart of my bottom.

 

You shouldn't need to worry about gain matching with interconnects - if you do then one of them is seriously broken, I mean literally kaput.
Series resistance of 99.9% of all cables out there is <1ohm for a 1m length. Used between a typical source and load you'd need a few K ohms to get audible changes in level and no cable has anything like that. Even the VDH carbon cables only push it to a couple of hundred ohms IIRC.

It could have exceptionally high capacitance which will change things at HF in some cases usually though loss of level at the very top, or it might upset some op amps giving unpredictable results. Rare events though IMO.

 

no discs so far rob?

 

Went out yesterday David so should be with you early next week.

 

Look forward to having a listen.

 

Just read the outcome, Cable 2, ha ha ha, and that was the one I thought 'there may have been something better about'.

I think I'll start soldering screws and foil into my kit tonight.

 

They weren't delivered, mate.

 

Oh dear, that's well over a week ago.

I'll send another tomorrow recorded.

 

Great!

Thanks!

I'm taking some tim eoff so it'll give e a good chance to listen.

Sorry about the hassle.

 

I also liked 2 , what a great laugh doesn't say much about the most expensive ones

 

Got there, eventually!!

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that I can't hear any difference in any of the recordings.

Nice bit of music though (and nicely recorded! ), what/who is it? U40 I think?

Thanks for the listen!

 

Hi David,

It is UB40 and the track is 'Madam Medusa'.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Good album and clearly their best by a mile IMO.
