James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all

hi muralman:

since you have no knowledge of a recording, your method of detecting distortion is subjective, hence opinion, which is subject to disagreement.

if you insist on using the term "better", it must be quantitative in nature, hence some kind of objective measurement. perhaps you can use white noise and a spectral analyzer.

I'm with Muralman1. I agree that these blindfolded reviewers should be able to distinguish uninhibited signals through naked cables compared to rubber or plastic or leather. I just have a hard time visualizing it.

LOL Shadorne..... :-D

naked cables compared to rubber or plastic or leather

Does the blindfold also need to be made from these materials? If so how will the test subject be able to communicate his or her opinion with a ball gag in their mouth?

Leica man, I can demonstrate exactly that such insulations cause distortion.
The distortion is not something of a different taste, as in coke vs. pepsi. It is
rather drinking the coke from a frothy glass, getting just coke fizz, and a
foamless class getting nothing but the sweet tasty coke.
