I’ve just started making my own cables, and very much enjoying the challenge and options available. However I’m trying to compare against my previous generic cables.
Can anyone be specific as to how to audition cables? Ie are there any types of music that show the differences more easily? Should I be directing my ears to lower frequencies, higher, etc?
I ask because I can hardly hear a difference, yet my new cables are entirely different to the ones I’m comparing to. Ie old ones are coax 3.5mm to RCA with copper plugs. New are twisted pair wires, nickel plated plugs, and a far shorter length. With little in common, I was expecting to be able to hear the change.
All I can think of is that perhaps my interconnects were never the weakest link in my system…..
