Baroque lover, if you believe in the placebo effect, fine. Don't force your beliefs on the folks who hear a difference. Nobody really cares, and it's annoying.
Abucktwoeighty,

Likewise, if you believe in imaginary differences in speaker cables, fine. Don't force your beliefs on the folks who are new to the forums and have limited knowledge on the issue.

For some reason my previous post did not go through but I will reiterate.

Cyclonicman,

I will have a great Christmas! I don't think that comment was called for but I hope you have a great holiday yourself.

Blindjim,

Kept hot? energized? what are you talking about???

If the same rigorous testing conditions are not implemented during the demoing stage how do you truly know that the more expensive cables are better? Wouldn't it stand to reason that if the differences are so obvious comparing them in your system that you should be able to pick them out under blind conditions???

It's not a matter of 'believing' in the placebo effect, it's documented FACT--cable toasting is NOT.

Regards.
I should also note that I used to believe in high-end cable and even sold it when working in retail.

I even recommended it on these forums.

A few months ago I did a double blind test and I failed--BAD!!!

At the time I could have swore I heard differences but the results don't lie. I thought they were playing a joke on me by leaving the 'high-end' cables in all ten times. Several people were there and I participated in one of the tests for another fellow friend/audiofool. He failed too.
Your statement, " I failed Bad" is the first accurate thing that you've said so far. Either you're deaf, the system was incapable of resolving the differences in cables or that EE degree has caused your brain to harden up(happens all the time). Of course- The possiblity exists that those two particular cables had no differences to hear(I wasn't there). At any rate- One listening test hardly constitutes "empirical data".
