will different lengths affect sound

RE: 6' / 75' and Rrog v. Audiofeil

If the difference in cable length had a serious effect on sound quality, it should have been audible in a disrupted stereo image. Familiarity with the system would not be important.

In a 2 speaker system, the phantom center image and 3 dimensional quality of a stereo recording is created by differences in arrival time, volume, frequency shading and phase balance at the left and right ears.

If the difference in the speaker cable significantly disrupted these qualities, it would be audible in a poor or distorted stereo image.

Not all theoretical differences are audible, even if we'd like them to be.

Rrog - trying to throw some ca-ca into the discussion.

So what that no one knew the system. All these self-professed golden ears should certainly been able to tell if something was amiss, but they couldn't.

Next trial - power cords......

Mlsstl, However, I will continue to use equal length cables and so will you.

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.

The sound will be most affected if the speaker wires cost more than $1 per foot.
