This is where cryogenics come in handy.
Cryogenics is a can of worms I do not wish to open in regards to wire and or connectors. I will just say I test for many things and oftentimes use people with far younger ears than my own in my research but it is not easy to measure fairy dust. I do have some cryo treated wire that will be tested against other wire I have obtained. This is not a quick process but I am always curious about such things. This is part of my test setup. On The right are three pairs of different wire types I can switch in and out with the push of a button. They go from the same headphone amp to the same headphones, ceteris paribus (all other things being equal). Only when all materials are tested will I know which material is which. Cryo, or silver plated, or litz or OCC or whatever. I can also test for noise generated by different mesh materials.
