Summary: cable differences

Recent discussions have considered why different cables will have
different sound when testing with a common drive seems to get the
same results at the other end.

One thing that was not clear, was whether the cables were both
connected to the source at the same time, and switched at the
load end, or whether they were fully swapped.  If they were both
connected to the source during the A/B test, they will both be
loading the source all the time.

I personally consider the reactive load on the cartridge to be the
most likely effect.  Perhaps a suitable recording could be found to
allow measuring the cartridge output while it's load is artifically
varied.
