Cable Quandary


Since listening to Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cable, I am very pleased to notice that music coming from both speakers are balanced meaning sound played on both speakers are equal to each other. This has not been my experience with other cables. I have stayed with Nordost since 1999 and have used their various speaker cables. They started out balanced but while breaking in started to tilt to one side. My system has changed over time, but this issue stayed with me. Not this time with Valhalla’s. Cam someone explain why or am I crazy to think that. Speakers have changed over time but have stayed at one place all the time. I hope I am clear about the issue. Thanks.

Swap Cables on the Speakers and see if the reported on off centre migrates towards the other channel.

Check symmetry of the arrangement for the Speakers within the Room, Dimensions for positioning to Side / Rear Walls - Accuracy equal dimension of the Baffle to the rear wall - Accurate dimensions for the Toe In if used - Accuracy of the Plumb of the Speaker- Side Walls are expected to be perfect Plumb - Baffle is to be matching Plumb on each Cabinet - Leaning Baffle to be matched as a fall on each Speaker. 

The Room used to produce the audio systems End Sound can be investigated to see what can be done to create a condition where the Speakers are very accurately Coupled to the room.
