Hearing the “difference” is only part of the equation. Determining that the “difference” is also “improvement”. Heck, the change in SQ could be further from truth, not necessarily closer. 
 

Like hitting a golf ball perfectly without watching to see where it lands. 

@cleeds indeed I'm not a cable denier.  but when I hear a cable review that sounds like a wine review complete with overtones of anis an sage, by BS meter pegs.

Not this $hit again....give it a rest already.

No. My ears do not deceive me.

Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean I can't hear it.

Grow up.

Why so defensive? If cables actually do make a difference, price shouldn't matter. Also, who said anything about affordability? 

Here we go again.  The question of whether cables make a difference or not.  If you're a person that, after all these years, still don't believe that cables make a difference, fine.  You just go ahead and stick with your bulk, Monster, speaker cables, just like we did 40, 50, years ago before we knew any better.  Really, who cares?
