Upgrade of the day: Shorter cables

[Speedskater]

Lesser capacitance of the shorter cable may have resulted in a bit less HF rolloff if the source impedance feeding it were sufficiently high.

But not with modern interconnect systems that have a low output stage impedance and a high input stage impedance.

Cable shortened by a quarter, sound quality quadrupled...View attachment 461289

What is the SI unit of sound quality? I have always wondered.

A 3 ft. shorter cable always sounds better when you're covering your ears and repeating... "I do believe in spooks... I do believe in spooks..."
The OP has repeatedly chummed the waters in various posts with this sort of bait.... not getting enough attention elsewhere?

I was thrilled to realize I could use 3 foot instead of 6 foot RCA cables from pre-amp to amp. I just had to move things a little bit, and there's not much slack, but it's worth it for the sound. I heard a difference!

Cable shortened by half, sound quality doubled.

3 dB. Easily measurable.

True.

Undoubtedly improved PRAT.............

Foot taps per second?

...or unintended pratfall.

At this point, it HAS to be parody.

The OP has stated his opinion and see no further plan to provide more objective evidence.

So, it is done here.
