Who says cables don't make a difference?

Oh come on be honest speedbump6, some of them are joking, but many are not and are rather biting in their comment. Not to mention how many threads have just been started in the last week or two extolling the virtues of cables and meant to put down / insult those who don’t agree??

YOU, may want to look at the topic of the thread you are posting in and the other one that has took up the bulk of your posts the last several days.

If I do come to Houston, it does not matter if I have bias or not. All that matters is that you can detect a cable change ... without seeing the change, and we are not talking comparing 18 awg to proper speaker wire.

@speedbump6 --- you are wasting your time with this guy. Give it up, you will get nowhere, no matter what. 

I've been told I'm deaf or my system is junk all the time when I don't notice differences in cables or DACs. This guy right above me ridicules me all the time. 

I've never said people are hallucinating but are not controlling for biases which can affect your perception. Those are not the same things when someone says they hear differences I believe them. They do hear differences the thing I question is why. Is it really the cable or is it their perfectly normal human biases. 

It can be the cables and it can be, if subtle differences are there to be distinguished at all, relative human biases....I cannot myself imagine that cables all sound like one another based on my experiences....

But most peoples invest too much money in cables.... Night and day differences comes from controls over the 3 embeddings of an audio system, not from cables in my experience, except by replacing a very bad one with a very good one, but this is exception not rule...

I dont understand all these childlike games here about cables....Common sense suffice to pose the problem and is sufficient to solve it.... Safe for those who wouched for no cables differences exist at all....And this is silly for those like me who hears differences....

A single difference between cables can be a result of some bias and can be placebo....But cumulative changes in the same positive directions cannot be reduced to illusion nor by blind test neither by measures....Then perhaps some single cable difference with another one can be argued for or against in a singular basis ....But cumulative positive differences is the heart of audio experience listening, that cannot be reduced to illusion only....

For me listening is my only way to test.... I test my own audio homemade tweaks with my ears for 2 years, and recreate completely my own sound experience by controlling the 3 embeddings, not by changing cables, even if they dont sound alike.... :)

I dont sell nor buy anything except peanuts costing materials in the last 2 years..... Then Hi-Fi experience cost peanuts if you want to invest your listening learning skills and some basics.... That is my grain of pepper....
