Sounds good - it is all done much more easily, though, if we stick
with your interconnects rather than the speaker cables. It is more
difficult to disguise the connections of the speakers, and it all
takes much longer as well. Using the interconnects also means that we
can effectively ignore the level and frequency response problems.



Like I said before, I have done very thorough and similar tests using my
speaker cables, not the interconnects. If you accept it when you are
here I will show you how we hid the speaker cables when doing the tests.
We actuallt hide the whole of the back of the system out of sight..
After that, swapping is relatively easy.

Funny thing with the interconnects, if a dime a dozen interconnect is
employed in my system the *sound* of some neighbors' TV (or some TV, but
it is always channel one!) comes from my speakers, very faintly. This
*really* happens. When I employ my interconnects (or the spare
"groneberg" ones) there is dead silence.. So if we do it with
interconnects, I might just hear the difference without listening to
music at all.

Do you live close to the TV transmitter? If you are in an area of
really high radio field strength, then all sorts of changes could be
happening to your system depending on what cables you use -
particularly speaker cables, which are not shielded. It is possible
that there is a real difference at work here, just not one resulting
from normal cable differences.

Of course that would lie outside the remit of the challenge.
