Title: Files for cable listening test now online
Post by: Arnold B. Krueger on 2015-05-29 19:38:09
Files for cable listening test have been online for a while, anybody try them?

Link to cable listening test downloads (http://www.audio.de/ratgeber/soundfiles-gratis-download-analogkabel-2568176.html)

In the stereoplay issue 10/2014 we go to the question of whether analog RCA cable can sound. Here you will find the sounds of the tested cable as HiRes downloads."

I haven't bothered to click on the link. My only interest would be if someone ran frequency sweeps to see if the cables' R, C, and L, for the lengths they used, introduce appreciable changes in the frequency response, but somehow I expect nobody has done that.

Oh come on, you know that nobody would be convinced by something like that.

Too bad they left out Monoprice or Blue Jeans samples.

Well Monoprice and Blue Jeans are both US based providers, so it's not all that surprising that they didn't make the list.
But Blue Jeans cables are the equivalent to top of the line Belden and Mogami cables.
I see that Mogami Exc was tested. (I'll have to look that cable up).

You don't need to run frequency sweeps to determine that information. There are means for determining the transfer function using more or less arbitrary waves provided they have significant content in the frequency range of interest.
