This makes no sense, but yet....

I've got two pairs of Nordost Blue Heaven rca interconnects, both one-meter. One pair has the current sprung loaded jacks. The other has the older fixed jacks (no spring loading). I had the sprung cables between my CDP and amp and they were unbearibly bright - headache inducing. Switching cables around I put the non-sprung cables in and for some reason they sound a little smoother in the treble. Is it possible for two of the same cable to sound different? Is it possible that the plugs could make a dramatic difference? Or am I imagining things?

Try flipping them end for end and listen to them again.

They're all used. I believe I had the other pair in with the arrows pointing the right way, but I didn't look. This pair sounds a world better though. I can swap them in and out to see if I can duplicate the tizz. Good simple fix though if thats the case.

All things occurring with the performance of audio systems are not guaranteed to make sense. If everything made sense, man would this be simpler.
