Im gonna guess its something we "all" have considered essential in our tracking chain that you have changed/removed.. not sure what it is tho.

listening to just the DI's I picked B as my favourite so I voted B but after putting them through lecto and s-preshigh I liked A slightly more than B.
nonetheless, I have no idea what was changed. all I could hear was a difference in the high mids and high frequencies between the three I believe.
I'm really interested for the results.

Either you rewired your guitar to skip all the controls, or it's a cable length/quality thing. Or i'm wrong haha
C sounds like shit, compared to C A and B are very similar but i prefer A.
edit: i bet A is through some POS behringer DI box

Get a dog up ya!
9v, 18v mod, 27v mod?
Selector switch?
Different gauge strings?
Different guitars?
The room was at different temperatures?
C was underwater?

I also wait for something like that.
Interesting guess
I would guess for different impedances of the DI boxes.

It must be something with signal loss... Some pots, cables or DI boxes... Don't rly know, but A was the brightest and then they all lost top end

couldnt get a huge differance between A and B but i did prefer A, huge differance between C and the first two though,
couldnt even guess what you changed though, id say cables, not length but brand,

A. B is very similar, though.. and C sucked.
Using different DI boxes wouldn't be that "stunning" so I guess that's not the difference..
Cable length could be it, allthough I doubt it.. Different pickups would be too obvious.
Different brand of strings perhaps? Or different gauge (like someone already guessed)?

Maybe different Interfaces/Micpreamps? (or 96, 48 and 44.1 samplerate whereas the higher are downsampled later)
Or a not true bypass Pedal in the line..
But i guess new vs old strings

Well... one more vote, but I'm not going to be an jerk and make you guys wait any longer
If you're thinking that the tone is as drastic as a pickup change on your monitoring system, that's pretty impressive, and even more-so a reason to take heed to what's going on.
When you change cable it also alters impedance, in a very positive way in this case.
What's interesting is that your second answer was partially correct, but not the intended direct result of the thing in the chain that was swapped!
Actually, when I changed cable in my rack, there was about twice as much high end coming from my headphones; I almost shit myself. I'm about to pop the Opals on and hear the difference with them (and I was using Mogami Cable for them!)
Derpsicle is the winner here; these are all with different cable...
...so any asshole who tells you that cable changes don't make a difference is deaf or so old that they have no hearing capacity left
Here are the results:
a. Lava Soar Instrument Cable/Gepco X-Band XLR or TRS Cable for the entire rig
b. Lava Soar Instrument Cable/generic XLR cable
c. Monster Rock 500 Instrument Cable/generic XLR cable
If anyone would like to direct Monster Cable company to this shootout, perhaps they can try to bribe me with a cash ransom to have this thread deleted before everyone who wants to buy their cables see it
Anyone who is interested in purchasing the cable, it is quite affordable in my mind, and available from www.lavacable.com
The owner, Mark Stoddard, is one hell of a businessman when it comes to customer service, and a very nice fellow.
The moral of this story, is getting better cables; They matter a lot, and in A/B phase reversed reamp tests, speaker cable matters too in the lows and highs especially. I did those tests a week or two ago, but can't share the files because the DIs used were unreleased material

FUUUUUUUUUUU
that's very, very interesting.
I wonder what about the cables causes this drastic effect. It's gotta be either capacitance, inductance or just general impedance (which is the most redundant statement ever haha)

how long were the individual cables?
would've never guessed the difference would be that audible
