Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

The subjective/listening component of equipment valuation is 100% necessary.  Use of measurements only is limited to what it is that is measured.   Since there are no "scientific" measurements for many sonic/music factors, measurements are only a starting point in evaluation. 

To those of us who vehemently believe that cables can determine sound quality of a system as does a speaker, beyond their use as "tone controls," there are no scientific measurements which delineate why they sound a certain way.  They are also system dependent.  Quality of manufacture is perhaps, one of the strongest measurable components of a cable.  I am a believer yet I cannot "prove" why my cabling sounds so good in my system.   I've tried my cables in multiple systems, sometimes they are just as great (especially on more modern and high end systems) and sometimes they don't perform as well as expected (on friends mid-fi but good equipment).  

Speakers are much easier to scientifically measure than cabling at this point.

If cables are used as tone controls it will show up in measurements. Simply saying you can hear differences in cables that measure the same without any reliable controlled tests to support it is only opinion. On this site it's a normal and accepted way of discussing audio. If this subjective opinion was shared on ASR as an opinion it's accepted as well it's only when one consistently claims it as fact after repeatedly being informed it's not science you get banned. It's comparable to flat earthers insisting the Earth's flat on astronomy forums, you're trolling which gets tiresome, no wonder you were banned. 

@djones Apparently, you believe that cables that measure the same sound the same.  That's ridiculous except on ASR.  That's like saying every amp that tests the same sounds the same via Julian Hirsch.  Not on this forum.  There are inadequate or no tests which allude to the differences in the effects on sound by different cables yet test the same.  They are also system dependent.   

@djones51

My theory might be that I can measure electrical differences between cable ’A’ and cable ’B’ and if they measure the same then they must sound the same and if they measure sufficiently different, then they must sound different.

Don’t I then need to add carefully controlled double blind listening sessions?

That's what I meant by reliable controlled tests. Unless cables, amps, DACs etc.. have vastly different measurements that's the only way to get a realistic view of these components. Sighted listening tests or just proclaiming from above on difference in sound doesn't inform anyone of anything.
