RE: Audibility of group delay

"To get accurate results you would probably need to do the test with 10 identical samples of one color and average the results and then repeat with 10 samples of another color to see if there is a difference in the behaviors."

I did that test with a highly specialized HP transmission line test set about nine years ago. The subjects were various colors of twisted pair in unshielded CAT 5. What we discovered was that over runs of 1/2 mile or longer, differences in propagation time, balance and loss could be consistently attributed to wire color. The worst was always the worst, and vice versa. It should be noted, however, that the differences we saw were truly minute. Taken in an audio context, it's more likely that an audiophile in L.A. could hear a cow belch in India.
