the components used make a big difference in each of the cables......I think you're spinning you wheels unless you pug the cables into your system for evaluation
Sound file to aide in speaker wire comparison
Wondering if anyone knows of a sound file that would play the same output on each channel in alternating fashion. If trying to compare speaker wires one could configure your system using one set of wires to one speaker and another to the other. Then the sound file would play the same frequencies to each speaker but not simultaneously. Yes you could do this with a mono sound file and flip the balance back and forth, but my preamp does not have balance controls.

Of course I realize the components matter…I’m inquiring as to if someone knows of a test song or something similar I could play in the system….its not easy to discern the nuanced differences between speaker wires if you listen to something and then stop, change out the wires and then play it again versus a true A/ B comparison in the course of sitting there listening. |
In my experience: cables/interconnects have impacted soundstaging and imaging, more than most other aspects of sound. Here are some tests/CDs that could help you in your evaluations: ie: On the Chesky sampler/test CD; David explains in detail, his position on the stage and distance from the mics, as he strikes a tambourine(Depth Test). LEDR test tells what to expect, if your system performs well, before each segment. Chesky CD contains a number of tests, in addition to the LEDR. (https://www.amazon.com/Chesky-Records-Sampler-Audiophile-Compact/dp/B000003GF3) Luckily, it's 2025 and we don't have to buy expensive CDs anymore, as there is an online version of this test here: http://www.audiocheck. A Stereophile article, that explains the LEDR test, here: https://www.stereophile.com/features/772/index.html
