I've found several local dealers that will allow me to audition cables. One store's policy is to sell them to you, but allow 14 days for return with full cash refund. They understood that I would be auditioning them, so I didn't have to lie about my intentions or feel guilty about returning them. Two other stores have simply signed them out to me free of charge. It always helps to develop a good relationship with a particular salesperson. The results are two-way trust. He trusts me with his gear, and I trust his opinions. Good luck!
