why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

The fiction or ruse as you indicate belongs to those who believe and/or state the impossible. You know, that YOU can hear an audible difference...

I never made that claim - I just agreed to participate in the "mutually agreed objective testing" that you said you’d pursue. As it turns out, you’re not interested in such a test, but only a rigged test that you seek to pursue privately.

@gdhal, just let me know if you ever have an interest in an objective listening test, such as a double-blind abx test that would be held in public - perhaps at an audio store or audiophile society meeting - and whose protocol could be discussed first here in public. It could be interesting, and we could get others to participate. After all, it was you who proposed the test in the first place.

What’s so weird about all this blind testing obsession and general angst over fuse and cable directionality, especially the charges of lying and or perpetrating a hoax by the pseudo skeptics is, what possible motive would anyone have for lying or perpetrating some kind of fraud or hoax based on directionality? Come on, people!! It’s certainly can not (rpt not) be financial gain, I seriously doubt any of the Big Players, you know, like Audioquest, HiFi Tuning, Anti Cables, Goertz, whoever, are getting a whole lot of new customers based solely on advertising “directionality” as a virtue.
