scientific double blinded cable test

@geoffkait 

Your point about not linking to old posts because you may have more current data to offer is a fair reply. Thanks.

To your point about knowing that wire is directional, I'm using Belden 5T00UP speaker wire. Would you say that wire is directional? And, if you answer yes, would you say you could *hear* a difference if connected one direction or another?

If you answer yes to both, I have a business proposition - directly related to this thread - for you (or anyone who answers yes to both questions for that matter). Broadly, the proposition involves either a blind or double blind test where it is my position that you *cannot* reliably hear a difference, and it would be your position that you could reliably hear a difference.

If interested, and if the amount is worthwhile (low five figures?) we can have our attorney's draw up the contracts, establish an escrow account and so on. 

Wow attorneys and hi fi bets how very exciting.

I was hoping for man to man combat but oh well.

I’m afraid you’re have to do a lot better than that, old bean. The Amazing Randi offered $1 Million to pass his version of the blind test scam. I prefer not to get involved in blind test scams. Michael Fremer was also smart enough not to get involved with Randi’s blind test flim flam, even for a million duckaleros. As nice a person as Randi is personally, I might add. Thanks but no thanks. Been there done that. 😛

Imagine how many audio/sound related claims would be disproved  if blind testing was used more often. 

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says don't you see?
