RE: My thanks to both of you for the data and info.


It also might be interesting to test them for intermod, as that seems to be a specialty of flaky cables and connectors.

Bruno has done a whole suite of tests on various cables. From THD to intermod including multitone signals taken from actual music, to micro phase shift, and even the ol' Hafler null test.

Nothing.

Also, harmonic distortion and intermod rather go hand in hand, so if you've got intermod, by definition you'll also have harmonic distortion.

Certainly bad contacts can cause problems, but beyond that, there's no convincing evidence that cables have any physical effect beyond their resistance, inductance and capacitance.

Again my thanks to Steve for digging this up...

You're quite welcome.
