RE: Ignore the doubters!

Hi Dave, nice to hear from you.

Any recommendations for my little experiment?

I was thinking of arbitrarily marking one end of the wires with a silver sharpie, then covering the wire with a sleeve of some sort. I would then place them in a box and shake it up.

If I am able to discern a difference, I will then mark the sleeve with a sharpie to distinguish the better sounding direction.

If I do think I hear a better direction, when I un-sleeve the wires, most should have the original marks on the same ends.

At first I was just going to use some pre terminated RCA cables for convenience, but I think I should have a larger group to sample from, say at least 10 samples.

Any issues performing this experiment at the large signal level? I'm thinking I could avoid potential interference that I may encounter testing un-shielded small signal wires.
(I MIGHT have a long enough length of shielded cable to cut into samples, I won't know for sure until tomorrow)

I also changed my mind about testing phase at this stage in the game, I will see how this first part goes first before proceeding.

Cheers
