The truth about interconnects - can you handle it?

Here is another page from the same site:

Can you honestly find fault with what is said on this page?

.....good posts Gs5556, Twl and all who see this as a troll-- I agree and trust my ears too. I'm glad that opinions vary though as it makes for a great diversity of music, gear, wires etc. CHEERS. Craig

I find it astonishing that double blind tests are totaly absent from discussion on cable forums, even prohibited on some!!! What gets me the most is that the same people who swear they can hear subtle differences in cables are deathly afraid of double blind testing. Go figure!

I beg to differ, Redbeard. May people perform double blind tests when comparing cables and they usually hear differences. The problem with double blind testing in cables is it takes time. When switching out cables, it takes minutes or hours for the cable to settle in with the equipment they are now on, so to be fair you have to allow for adequate time.Even though the human ear supposedly has a short memory,the ear-mind can remember enough to hear the sonic differences in cables.I believe scientific principles should be adhered to in good cable design, but the final decision-maker has to be your own ears, as no piece of test equipment that man has ever designed can see what the human ear can hear.Nice try though.

As I have posted numerous times before, I have done literally hundreds of blind tests, and had people that worked with me trying to do their best to trip me up. That said, if there was any change in equipment that did make a difference, I identified it well over 90% of the time. I have no fear of blind testing, and I don't think any other audiophiles have any fear of it either. I do think the ABX'ers are afraid that we will try it and realize that they were more full of it than a Christmas turkey. If you really believe that you can't hear these things, then get another hobby. Audio is for people who can hear. Others can play with trains or take up gardening.
