Regarding two aftermarket power cables: "These differences in the shapes of the musical waveforms are far too small to see or measure with even the most sophisticated technology, yet we as listeners not only routinely discriminate such differences, we sometimes find musical meaning in these differences."

 Nonsense. Just because people claim to "routinely discriminate" differences doesn't mean it's true or they're right. Apparently many have witnessed UFOs but that doesn't mean they actually saw extraterrestrial visitors, does it? Some have seen/heard a deity speaking to them "routinely"; does that imply that they are surely communing with an unseen/unmeasurable spiritual force(s)? Can we not put a little more effort into confirmatory reality-testing first when "the most sophisticated technology" can find nothing in 2020? (Of course, speaker cables can measure differently as per here, here, even if not necessarily audible in many cases by the time we connect amp to speaker.)

What a long post just simply saying there are scientific theories, not laws based on evidence in the physical world.

Back to the physical world....
Goethe said it in his elliptic and very clear way:

«There is no theory behind facts»

He add that learning to perceive the facts is the theory itself...

To be understood very clearly he said also:

« The History of science IS science»
Wow.. what a thread.. everything from rocks to the ice age..  somehow this relates to audio cables? Or just more ways to insult others who disagree ?
Maybe in biblical days the rocks and stones themselves would start to sing, as described  in Jesus Christ Superstar. maybe that inspired double blind testing and people getting stoned by those who disagreed. Not much different than this virtual hate fest. 
Just posting one critic’s critique of another brings out the fan boys and alchemists in such a predictable way it’s like self propigating soup.

BTW DSD is better than analog AND hi res PCM digital but this is not a thread for that opinion.
