Hi. I noticed around the internet that some "pro audio" guys (or even audiophiles) claims something like "this connector sounds better than this other one" or "this cable give better low end" or "this solder have x% of silver so it sounds better than a 60/40 solder" I want to know if there is a way to measure that.
I bought different solders, connectors and cables to test for myself:
*Connectors: Neutrik, Amphenol, Switchcraft XLR, RCA, 3.5mm, they all "gold plated" versions.
*Starquad signal cables: Klotz SQ422Y, Mogami 3534, Canare L-4E6S.
*Solders: WBT 0400, Cardas Audio Quad Eutectic, MG Chemmicals SAC305.
My conclusion is that they all sound the same! My ears are 'not trained' but I wanted to hear a tiny difference with the expensive WBT silver solder...
So, is there a "cheap" way to measure that (multimeter/oscilloscope)? Audio analyzers could be so expensive to me right now and I don't know how to use it.
I'm electronic newbie.
