With these measures the present work was able to prove through direct psychoacoustic testing that two different analog-interconnect pathways can be audibly distinguished.
In plain English yes we can hear differences between wires. Thank you hilde45.
For the record I was around back when they were doing the Pepsi challenge all over the place. They were so eager to give away tasty soda pop I was only too happy to swill it down! Every single time they would ask which one do I prefer? And I would say, "This one's Pepsi, that one's Coke." But which do you like? Which they like to phrase it that way because most people prefer sweet, and Pepsi is sweeter than Coke. But all they proved to me was how easy it is to tell the difference.
So easy to tell, yet an awful lot of people pay so little attention they had no clue. Same here.
