If the cable produces a shrill, strident note then it's a faithful reproduction of the vinyl and the recording process in the studio. Conversely the cable must be colouring or adding something if I detect changes in the nature of the note. All very subjective I agree but I have had this album 20+ years and I think I'm confident in detecting small changes. I don't think you should use this cable if your after something that's going to flatter your system, it won't. The cable could be worth a trial if your after something to honestly transcribe what's on your vinyl, wart's 'n all!
I hope this has verified things. ;)
