Who says cables don't make a difference?

It is easier mitch2, when most of the people who throw around terms like imaging and sound-stage, etc. don't understand the underlying mechanisms for how those things manifest.

What a tease! Like you do. 

It’s not really that hard mahgister. I come to your house and you step outside while I change 1 speaker cable or not. I touch nothing else. I blindfold you, you come back in sit in your favorite place and tell me which cable I changed or didn’t. Get it right 8 out of 10 times you have your objective proof a cable matters.

You are very naive here,sorry....

Here is an anecdote that will explain the matter:
When i listened my system some months ago, when accidentally some stones fell of my grid in the night before , i dont suspect it immediately at first, it takes sometimes, a few hours, and my listening being subconsciously unsatisfied was alerting my consciousness, i decided after a moment to verify the grid discovering the cause of the problem...This experience of the falling off of some stones changing the sound arrived a few times for me and for a friend of mine who tried my idea also....

It is not my HEARING consciousness that experienced on the spot and decided that the sound was not like it was one day ago.... At first i dont noticed something big or even something.... But with the times passing my FEELING subconsciousness alerted my consciousness.... My musical sound memory is there in my subconscious body not in my consciousness... It is not the exact memory of the sound that is imprinted in my body-brain, it is the FEELINGS in my sensitive body that contains the memory and that are the memory not the sound "per se"...

Then if you understand what i speak about you can understand the absurdity of your proposal test in the conditions in which you imagine it...

My regards to you....


P.S. but if i choose the musical files i use to test my audio system, i will probably pass your test with my stones grid or other tweaks easy to takes off.... with the cables it is too subtle and too long to takes them off and replace them and cables are sometimes very subtle in their differences.... :)

Most people condition themselves not being able to hears any differences, their system is not even rightly embedded most of the times.... Listening is something we must learn....Hearing is quantifiable in hertz, listening hability is not.....

You're right I didn't understand. Peace to you 

djones i dont mean that to insult you...

read my explanation .... I apologize i dont wanted to be rude with you....Just giving my experience and answering your test challenge  with my life real accidental test....
