Oh maan @shtinkydog the Acronym for such Shopping Syndrome is definitely BIG or even HUGE.
Jays Audio yt Channel takes on AB testing of cables.
in a soon to be viral video, no doubt, a really cheap Cable is compared to an insanely expensive Cable. But the listeners were not the key deciders they actually had Real life people performing the role of the actual AB testee. This was a good approach. jay did not participate. Maybe he should have.

its a 45 minute video. The cables weren’t broken in which was a problem I guess. Not sure why he wasn't able to come up with broken in cables. I think the cheaper cable was preferred I guess. But maybe more expensive cable was better if you listen to it more overtime. Or maybe it’s a personal decision. So they explored a rabbit hole and I think there was confusion and they quickly exited.
I buy more expensive cables because the more money I spend the better it makes me feel. AB testing can be challenging and I wish they would’ve broken in the cables, maybe some of the music choices weren’t the greatest, maybe it was too humid, maybe the air conditioning was on.
I was often reminded to like the video while watching this video, but I could only do it once. In the end I remain very confused.

Just to be clear, they were able to differentiate the cables 100% of the time. Both testers associated the more detailed cable with the more expensive one, which was wrong every time. But they were very consistent in hearing the difference. This is what led to Jay starting the break-in discussion. glen |
