It would seem there are a number of interactions between a given cable and the component(s) that the cable connects to. Personally, I am not going to take the time to try and figure them out, and I seriously doubt I would be able to do so if I tried. I agree with Bob and Sean that a cable that is eliminated from consideration in one system says very little about how it will perform in another, unless it is fundamentally flawed in some way.
Found an interesting way to compare IC cables...
Hi Agoner's,
I found an interesting way to compare IC's that immediately and vividly shows up the difference between different cables.
I was listening to my new pair of Sennheiser HD-580's and thought the sound was "veiled over", so did a quick switch of IC cables and everything immediately openned up. So much for the award winning name brand cables versus the no-name brand :)
Caveat: I realize this does not highlight the exact effects of the different interactions between equipment!
Any thoughts on this as a valid test?
