Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable??
I have read pros/cons about the the issue of having unequal lengths in a PAIR speaker cable, that is, volume is louder in one channel than the other. Is this true, or does it depend on the brand of cable??
I've used odd length speaker cables in the past (forced by gear location issues since these were huge cables) and it made zero audible difference. I still have 'em in my basement Cable Museum.
I'm using a 10' pair (biwired) on my right speaker, and an 8' pair on the left. Sounds better to me than the 10' pair single-wired w/ jumpers. I suppose there's a capacitive difference but I don't hear any downside, or left/right difference.
Ideally, I would have bought another 10' pair, but I found the 8' pair used, so I tried it out, and so far I'm confident the $$ savings isn't clouding my hearing.
