Well, if you think tests done with an utter lack of rigor or controls for his own imagination are "the best..."
..then I've got some magic health crystals to sell you . They are evaluated the same way.
blumartini, have you ever tried to blind test between audiophile cables and a "normal" competently designed cables? (E.g. correct gauge for equipment etc). I have. It was very enlightening. When I knew which cable was in use I was sure the sound OBVIOUSLY changed. But when I didn't know which was being used, funny how those OBVIOUS ANYONE COULD HEAR IT changes vanished. Human perception and cognitive biases are pretty wild. The stance "If I heard it then it's true and my ears can't be wrong!" is a popular one among audiophiles. But it's up to you if you want to treat audio in essentially a form of religion or not.
If so, have fun discussing how many thousands of dollars to spend on AC cables.
What I can say is that Jay Luong's 27 Best Audiophile Power Cables has been one of the best if not the best attempt to put things somewhat into perspective in regards to the manufactures, models, and prices as well as what to expect at there particular value proposition.
