| A New Believer The only possible differences are with respect to R, L or C. If anyone can explain how the resistance, inductance and capacitance of wire change the quality of the sound, they should say so. While that person is at it, he should state how that qua... | |
| A New Believer Josh--You need to do a double-blind A/B with matched levels to truly know if there is any difference. The human ear can detect minute differences in volume. A box to do this test is not available at Radio Shack. You need to check the volumes caref... | |
