Comparing Speaker Cables

Unless someone else is switching the wire for you, it's a pointless exercise, notes or not.

If you have a speaker switch (pass through A/B) that did not add distortion had 2 sets of the same speaker, and your 2 wires for comparison from the same source. A listening test may work but would still be subjective to many.

I am sure people will find fault in this method and will only work if you have 2 sets of the same speakers in the same operating condition.

Or go buy some sound analysis software to take a stab at determining what cable or wire will work for you.

You really need to control the variables to make any real determination and remove well guessing.

Have a great day.

determins some demo tracks, listen, pay attention, notice any tendencies, take notes for positive and negative sound qualities.  

Lot to lot variations between sets of speakers, even driver units. 0.5db is not unusual and that can be audible, not to mention positional differences, etc. etc.

First, you need good quality demo material to allow you to hear important differences.  After that, I’d have someone switch the cables for you so you can just listen and don’t have to physically get up and change anything, which could potentially interfere with your sonic memory.  Best of luck.
