Weirder yet, I don't see the pre-sneeze post....

Anyway. We heard differences when comparing the house belden with
Gotham GAC-3 and EMT 2220 a few years ago. Subtle, but it was there.


Maybe you moved your head, furniture, or listening position a few inches,
or yawned. That should totally swamp any cable differences.

Nope. There were three of us in Flite Three in Baltimore. We didn't begin by
looking for cable differences. Our interest was to find a cable that would
cut the RF problem with the Gefell M71 mic.

In doing so we found the EQ difference and then went sideways with it to try
a C414 and a U 87. The cables had the same effect on each of the three mics.
A lot of the listening was done on headphones; good ones.

The differences were not as audible on my system. We thought it might have
had something to do with the mic panel wiring at Flite Three or the
interaction with their API preamps.

All three of us heard it and there was a consensus as to the slight
differences each cable made.
