DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Actually, what he said was blind testing is an INDISPENSIBLE TOOL AND PART OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. It is neither.

Gosh, they were right, this is like shooting fish in a barrel. 🐟 🐟 🐟

Gosh, someone sure left in a great big hurry! And took all his posts with him. I guess he didn’t appreciate being in the barrel.

... anywhere the sight, or awareness of the product might cause a response separate from the actual use of the product, blind testing would have value.
Blind testing might have value in that instance, yes. But I wouldn't be certain that it would have value. That would hinge a lot on the details of the test itself. Conducting a scientifically valid double-blind listening test is not as easy as some here seem to think.
Look at a certain one man company which stuck a Home Depot extension cord inside a garden hose. then charged $1,500 or more for it. Folks LOVED it, endless rave reviews, until someone cut one open. LOL(people 'forgave' him because he was such an honest Christian?
That sounds like urban legend, much like your claim that Infinity's attorneys shut down Graz in Australia. Do you have any proof to substantiate it?
