scientific double blinded cable test

@geoffkait 

I thought we already established the cable is Belden 5T00UP speaker wire. 

The waffling continues ...

My suggestions are independent of brand of cable.

I am currently testing the cable "loom" of Monoprice ($7 for two USB, and a pair of gold plated ICs) My hypothesis is that they will do what are asked of them. The data will travel from Computer to DAC, and the analog signal will go from the DAC to my receiver without error or coloration. I am willing to risk $7 for the sake of Science. I am sure that the Nordost Valhalla Reference speaker ribbons sound better than lamp cord. They were a gift, so I am not influenced by the $5600/meter pair price.

gdhalThe idea of meeting with your first via skype is so I can gain a sense as to whether or not we could ever attain an agreement.

I am increasingly developing the sense here that your proposal to discuss via skype now is in truth an attempt to escape from your $25K USD offer to test my ability to detect wire directionality in a scientifically controlled test. If the purpose is truly to determine whether we can ever actually agree on the protocols for the test then that is a conversation we can have here under the "protective umbrella " and watchful eye of all here on Audio and including Audiogon itself. We will each I am confident have specific requirements and preconditions for this test and it will be up for each forum participant here to conclude for theirselves whether such requirements are prudent and/or reasonable or an attempt to escape our committments as previously expressed here in the forum. As facts presently stand we have only your offer of $25,000 USD on the table and increasingly your adding additional preconditions onto your previously open offer. Everyone here should know that I am willing to travel to your country and accept your offer of $25,000 USD to detect this directionality but of course I will need assurances that the test will be conducted in a scientific way and in public so that others can witness what transpires.
