will different lengths affect sound


Just trying to gather some opinins on this. Will different lengths of the same speaker cable adversely affect the sound and timing of the source material?
Thanks

If you are not intimately familiar with the sound of a given system these tests mean nothing as do measurements.<<

No, that's wrong.

You needn't be intimately familiar with a system to hear an "A/B" change that's been implemented.

Actually it might be best you haven't heard the system at all, as the change(s) could be more apparent.

Of course they will<<

Wrong.

You will not hear a difference unless, as Kal says, there is very large difference.

A few years ago at CES AJ Conti of Basis Audio connected one speaker with 6' of cable and another with 75' of cable. Not a single attendee could identify which speaker had the longer length.
Rrog,
First of all, it was a system that AJ configured including Pass electonics and his own cables.

The fact that no one else was familiar with the components is irrelvant.

You need not be familiar with the components in order to hear a difference between A and B.

Nice try though.

I hope that helps you to understand better.

Bill, you are telling me that what I can do on a regular basis is impossible<<

You can't do it.

But neither can anybody else so don't feel bad.

However, an alien abduction story like "Cocoon" would be more believable. Got one of those?

I have heard differences in sound between a 1M and 2M interconnect<<

That is impossible.

Sorry
There's not a person on the face of the earth that can hear a difference between a 1M and 2M interconnect given the make, model, and time of use is identical.

Nobody.

Zero.

Zip.

Nada.
