A challenge to the "measurement" camp

I’ve watched some of his video and I actually agree on some of what he said,
but he seems too confident on his insistence on measurement. For those
who expound on the merits of blind test and measurement, why not turn
the table upside down?

Why not do a blind test of measurement? That is I will supply all the measurement
you want, can you tell me which is a better product?

For example, if I have a set of cable, and a set of measurement for each
individual cable, can you tell me which is the best cable based on measurement
alone? I will supply all the measurement you want.
After all, that is what you’re after right? Objective result and not subjective
listening test.

Fast forward to 8:15 mark where he keeps ranting about listening test
without measurement.

By the way, is he getting paid by Belden?  Because he keeps talking about it
and how well it measures.  I've had some BlueJean cables and they can easily
bettered by some decent cables.

You just inadvertently made djones51’s argument, and if you don't think you did, then you made the argument the video was trying to make.

Just a 20hz to 20khz sweep from your speakers. Use two different speaker cables in the same system and room. I can tell from that which gives the flattest response which will be the best cable.
Things are not as simple as you think. No cable will be "flat". Any cable will have dip and bump at different frequencies. Not only that, there is phase shift too.

^^^ The short answer is no, but I don't think you understand either.

Could the effect known as gravity, in fact be the observation of an object moving at an accelerated rate into a Spacetime where time is slower?

It’s actually like placing a bowling ball on a mattress that has a couple baseballs on it already. The mass of the heavy bowling ball pushes down the mattress causing the baseballs to slide down towards the bowling ball. Gravity is the curvature/distortion of Spacetime produced by mass, more evident when the mass is very heavy. Light from distant stars and galaxies appears to be bent by massive objects like the sun but it’s really the curvature of spacetime around the sun that makes it appear that way.

Next time do not buy used mattress and it will not sag.
