Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable??


I have read pros/cons about the the issue of having unequal lengths in a PAIR speaker cable, that is, volume is louder in one channel than the other. Is this true, or does it depend on the brand of cable??

Wise men all!! Actually, I had a pair of Analysis Plus Oval 12 soeaker cables about 8 years ago that were a 15ft/8ft.pair. I began to notice about 6 months into use that the one of the channels seemed lower; I don't remember if it was the short or the long run. It seem to get more pronounced over time. Though, I easily sold the cable after an enjoyable 7 years when I upgraded the speakers.

To Markakanetz, Unless you are an old California hippy, I believe you mentioned LSD trips in one of my other threads. For the record, 1972 was my last cosmic voyage.

Augustus Stanley Owsley, the so called "Mad Chemist" died in a tragic car crash last year. He supposedly made 50 million hits of LSD before California deemed it illegal. His brews were supposed to be the best. In his obituary last year in the New York Times, it was reported that John Lennon had contracted with Owlsley to provide him a life time source of his drug. Another useless factoid: Ownsley was reported to have been angered when so one called one of his various concoctions "Purple Haze". He claimed there was nothing hazy, purple, or unclear about his acid.

For the record, "Bear's Picks" a CD of selective Grateful Dead tunes was chosen by Owsley, called "Bear" because he had so much body hair. He also was the genius behind some of of the Dead's sound systems; I think, but am not sure, he may funded and partly designed the infamous "Wall of Sound" which I heard twice driven mostly by McIntosh amps The sound was quite pure and quite loud and could be heard even if you had your head in a wooden box and under your seat at the concert hall. Where did those halycon days go!!!
I've used odd length speaker cables in the past (forced by gear location issues since these were huge cables) and it made zero audible difference. I still have 'em in my basement Cable Museum.
I'm using a 10' pair (biwired) on my right speaker, and an 8' pair on the left. Sounds better to me than the 10' pair single-wired w/ jumpers. I suppose there's a capacitive difference but I don't hear any downside, or left/right difference.

Ideally, I would have bought another 10' pair, but I found the 8' pair used, so I tried it out, and so far I'm confident the $$ savings isn't clouding my hearing.
