Simply plug it in and make sure the equipment turns on, for instance by inspecting the LED indicator. If the LED stays off, the cable is faulty. crenca, Ran and semente 2 1 Link to comment

What is the best way to test system quietness? Is it as easy as hitting "pause" on a source and then cranking all gain adjustments to the maximum setting? Would this allow me to amplify any noise in the system and possibly measure it with a decibel meter? If you have enough noise that it registers above ambient on an SPL meter, something is wrong. That said, your idea is sound. Turn up the volume without anything playing and put your ear to the tweeter. You may hear a faint hiss which is fine as long as it's not noticeable at your normal listening spot. If you want to measure something, connect a good multimeter (e.g. Fluke) to the speaker terminals. A cheap meter is probably not sensitive enough. Temporal_Dissident and crenca 1 1 Link to comment
