arnyk or others- I reside close enough to Carnegie Mellon and Univ Of
Pittsburgh that perhaps one of you can help me track down someone
qualified to set up a proper experiment to objectively determine if I
can discern between my current speaker cable and a common copper cable
("zip cord" or the like). I don't think it will take much time for a
couple of qualified Phds to switch cable back and forth on 5 or 10
agreed upon music selections. Alternatively, I'd have to call around
until I figure out who speak with and, of course, then I'll have to
prove their qualifications. I'll do the legwork, in other words, but I
merely need a legit place to start.
Note that I'm not the audiophile equivalent of a master sommelier. That
said, in a tightly controlled situation, I submit that I'll pick out my
cable 8 or 9 out of 10. Honestly though, I expect to get all 10 (or 5
or whatever we decide). I'll be focusing on sibilant passages, but I
expect to be able to hear any number of shortcomings in the zip cord.
