Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

"...even a very strong gut feeling......That is what they call pseudo skepticism."

No, that is what they call diarrhea.

I made the claim that SR and others claim to do double blind tests but none of them to my knowledge had done a properly administered double blind test in public ...

So what? Who cares?

I've been a participant in a few double-blind listening tests. They were interesting. The results were never intended for publication. Who cares? What really matters is the result of your own evaluations.

@jl35- Your biggest mistake, was to have actually tried some better cables and cords.     Now: you need to sell those and forget everything you think you heard, because: your deceitful/malfunctioning ears and brain, obviously misled you.     TRUST ME (snort of derision)!

+1 cleeds ... the only testing that matters is the testing you do at home in your own system... and we buy with return privileges so there's no bias to "pretend"...
