Well, I have heard differences between wires,

That weren't speaker cables or high capacitance interconnects ?

Well, in some cases they were very long microphone cables with ribbon
mike sources, where the cable reactance WAS becoming a problem.

How long were those mic cables ?

Really only a few hundred feet. Not SUPER long. And if you can hear an
effect with a couple hundred feet, it's going to get worse when you have
a couple thousand foot run out to the truck.

But in other cases I have heard weirdness that I cannot explain. I can
tell the difference between an 18ga solid core and an 18ga stranded
speaker cable. Makes no sense at all, but it was there.

Intruiging.

I'm looking for a good explanation. At the time I could repeat it consistently
too.

I'm looking for the words 'double blind' but not seeing them yet in any
of these claims of 'weird' difference.

Yes indeed.

Human perception is hugely unreliable.
