I recently moved my hifi rack with all the gear to a different place in the room. The existing speaker cables were not long enough so I connected one speaker temporarily with a different cable. The original cables were both QED silver anniversary XT. I immediately noticed a huge reduction in bass response. Thinking I had the phasing wrong I metered out the cables and found I had the right phase connection. The strange thing is if I swap over either speaker to put it out of phase the bass improves to how it was before i moved the rack. the only difference now is the temporary cable I have connected to one speaker. Could different cables cause the same effect as incorrect phasing? I will buy some more QED cable anyway but it doesnt make sense to me that different cables can have the same effect as incorrect phasing'
