Audio interconnect and power cables have drawn a lot of attention from consumers especially as the manufacturers claim all kinds of sonic improvements and the price differences are sometimes mind boggling ! Among users the opinions also vary enormously ! Listening to cables by physically switching takes too much time during which the brain could obfuscate the differences due to the time delay. Ethan Winer has made a box which can switch between cables and listen to the null between them to see if the cables connected do really sound different. This has been done by others too but he has put up a video on this !
We need to remember that in a real world scenario the cable could sound very different in different systems because the " real load " at the end of the cable would be different in different systems and that would make a difference to the signal arriving at the input of the amp etc. The equipment input resistance ( dc ) and capacitance (ac) is normally not exactly identical in different equipment. So lots of variables are there.
BUT testing them in one location with a null detector should produce interesting results . Watch this interesting video :
But as usual , you should believe what you want to believe. It hurts no one else , except possibly your own pocket.
If I had Rs 70K ( about $ 1,000/- ) to spare I'd buy more music with all of it !
