Seems like I'll dive into reading more about it rather then conducting any electrical measurements.
Thanks everyone, lets' keep it civil haha...
I did hear a significant difference using a palladium cable with Dunu Zen Pro vs Stock Cable, I was at a major audiophile's place in a controlled room with plenty of time, I'm very sensitive to tonality being a pro mixing and mastering engineer, A-B, blind testing, the whole thing, and I won't even credit my trained ears as the difference wasn't a subtle one or placebo, THERE WAS a sound difference.
Which leads me to wondering what may have caused it... I'm a practical guy, it seems like there's plenty of evidence that the material itself wasn't the cause and I will not refute any of that as it's probably more scientifically substantiated, BUT -
perhaps you could rack your brains speculating what factor in the chain may have caused it. Put yourself in my shoes, ik what I heard and how rigorously I test my hearing, that cable was worth over 1000$ (which I only knew after testing) and I'm sure not too many people got to test something like that and I can guarantee you that there was a distinct difference.
SO: @Doodski @HarmonicTHD @majingotan @Blumlein 88
If not the material itself - please speculate what factors in the playing chain
could potentially cause a sound difference by replacing cables. Output impedance? weird wiring to mess with phase? Connectors? His specific fancy Dac\Amp, Etc....
I literally have no idea and clearly just BSing so your speculations might be better.
Once again, I'm not claiming anything different than the science you've presented me as it makes the most sense and I always choose science. But I'm looking for some explanations to what I definitely heard so I could potentially avoid it next time in the audio playing chain.
