Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

Ah, the old blind test scam raises its ugly head again. I guess it was just a matter of time. They always threaten blind tests but they don’t wait for the results. Which is really the most important part. 😛

Do not mix in "Difference between cables" in analog world and "Difference between Ethernet cables" in digital data transmission.

Why not? Did I beak some sacred laws of science? You might’ve missed my note on electromagnetic waves in cables. That’s how information is transferred, all types of information. Even satellite transmissions, which have been digital like forever. 🛰 Hel-loo!

@almarg I believe using music of  Johann Sebastian Bach may not be exactly the same. Liking or disliking music is subjective as well as rating one composer at the very top or " third rate hack as a composer " has a lot of "like" or "dislike" in it.
However if you take a loseless record of that same composer and transfer it over the Ethernet cable - it will not change regardless of the quality of the cable.
It is guaranteed by the network protocol - it will be identical 100%
It is measurable - files are identical if transmission completed successfully.

...and the same person who disliked it will dislike it again ;-)

It's not a question of waiting for results. The most vocal "advocates" of blind tests here don't actually conduct the blind tests - they insist others conduct the tests and then report the results. If the "advocate" actually offers to conduct the test, it's been followed by demands for upfront payment, a test protocol that's concocted in secret, advance agreements crafted by attorneys and other such nonsense.

If "advocates" of blind testing were serious, they would submit the protocol for advance review here, and the test would be performed in public, which would allow witnesses and an opportunity for others to participate. This could be done at an audio store or audiophile club. But the "advocates" haven't shown any interest in that; their call for scientific testing is just a red herring.

>>>>Well, of course they’re not serious. That’s what I’ve been saying all along. Hel-loo! It’s a game they’re playing. You could also call it intellectual dishonesty if you want to get down to brass tacks. It’s the old game of Whack a Mole we all love to play. I’m not sure red herring is the right term but I know what you mean. That’s why I say they’re not serious or sincere. It’s just some stupid thing they picked up over on some backward audio site somewhere. Whack a Mole, the sport of kings.
