ISO Regen performance Improvement Cheap!

I'm just looking for a reason for why longer runs of Ethernet cables sound better than shorter ones when used as dc cables in my system.

 

A possible reason (just conjecture at present) is that the longer the cable, the better it is at being a common-mode choke. But I can't help thinking that a dedicated CM choke will do considerably better than an ethernet cable.

 

Has anyone tried battery powering the IR to see if the improvements exceed the gains with the cat7 cable? That might shine more light on what's going on here.

Slapping a scope on the end of the various wire configurations would be a better bet.

 

Why? You reckon a scope can resolve CM noise differences?

No but its the only way to determine what if anything is going on

 

Looks like a failure of imagination 'only way'. I can think of another and I've already suggested a follow-up experiment to help figure things out.
