Strictly speaking, this is impossible. The streamer starts up in a couple of dozen seconds, and auditory memory lasts a couple of seconds at most. I checked (but not the power cable, something else), and after two seconds, it's no longer possible to make such a comparison. So, the sound is subjectively identical. And in this case, it's also objectively identical.
Tin?
miles and miles?
TIn is used instead of copper to save money
Think about old school recording consoles, the have wiring looms for multiple channels, that went through many effects boxes, yes I'm sure there's at least a mile of wiring between all the pcbs, wiring and other stuff that the signal goes through when it's recorded,
Really? I'd be very surprised. I've never seen tin wire.
If you count the entire studio, it'll probably be enough. In the mixing console, it'll be maybe two meters per channel. But you're right about the main thing: no one in the studio will bother with cables, especially power cables. They'll just be regular cables.
Surely copper not tin though.
I'm not an expert, but I remember that in very old equipment the wiring was done with steel-type wires, made of white metal.
Could be tinned copper.
Perhaps. In any case, it was so long ago that we should be glad that recordings from that time have survived at all; wires play no role here.
Belden 18g and pots 22g were tin plated copper.
You did not understand the nuance about short term memory and the validity of blind test for critical listening . It cannot properly be done in a pure way and with fast switching and at the same time capture the entirety of sonic differences . It is not practical to be done at home and the results cannot be trusted by third parties.
