scientific double blinded cable test

I’m not against scientific studies, and gaining broader knowledge. For me, they just don't have much relevance or usefulness when pursuing greater musical enjoyment from my personal system. I'd rather have recommendations from one or more people with similar tastes and goals to mine, whose ears I trust.

Of course pundits here will claim that there is no method to reliably study human hearing which is quantum phenomenally more sensitive than any measurements.

>>>>That can’t be right since human hearing ability varies all over the place. Also it’s patently false that sound is completely determined by how the ears transmit acoustic vibration to the brain. That’s one of those beliefs we assume we learned somewhere along the line that everyone agrees must be true. What else could it be, right? But that’s a subject for another thread, another time, partner. 🤠

At the end of the day everybody is entitled to pay for his Veblen goods. 

Oh, I get it. A real skeptic, not a fake one. Bravo!

The two camps (believers/non-believers) will probably always remain with us. To me, that's ok and really not important. What I believe each of us enthusiasts should focus on is being happy with how our system sounds to us, regardless of what it is made up of. Just my 2c worth.
