That's a whole different issue.
We're not talking about subtleties buried within a high level signal. We're talking about making any sound at all.
Also, the test didn't duplicate what you would happen under realworld conditions. It went far beyond that.
I wasn't driving the other half of the cable with a headphone level signal. I was driving it with a speaker level signal. So whatever may have coupled into the half I was listening to would have been FAR greater in magnitude than if it were being used as a headphone cable and being fed a headphone level signal.
And I chose 24 feet of cable instead of the more typical 10 feet to even further enhance any coupling.
But in spite of that, there was simply nothing to be heard.
