ppaul Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Todays experiment, this will be my one and only post, you guys can debate this amongst yourselves...
rantan Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Nope. I am leaving this well and truly alone. 2 1

Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted October 31, 2020 Volunteer Posted October 31, 2020 Not a fair test. The blue ones have some sort of quantum enhancers taped to them. 3 1 3
Guest Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I conclude that you most likely did indeed test between a $500 loan cable, and a $2 Vinnies find... Are we supposed to argue about whether you did the test?

That depends on the hearing of the OP. He may be deaf as a post for all we know. Can he provide some measurements of his hearing?
ppaul Posted November 1, 2020 Author Posted November 1, 2020 For those of you interested, the $2 blue cable is dull and lifeless, best analogy; like cutting a tone/treble control 2-3 dB, OTOH the $500 cable is indistinguishable between it and my Chord chrimson vee, at least I cant tell them apart, but I could be deaf 2

Depending on the type of cartridge, the capacitance of the interconnect can make a marked difference to the frequency response at higher frequencies. It seems like you have encountered that situation here.
