I never said that you werent going to be able to miss the sonic difference and it is this type of sarcasm that gives me pause. ! I dont know anything about your system nor your hearing ability so I cant comment. There is no hard science just a myriad of testimonials from people that claim they can hear a difference. The question to ask yourself is if you cant measure something does this eliminate the possibility that this something could exist? Remember that many on this forum have systems that cost more than a car and approach or exceede the cost of a house. To think that the level of fidelity is the same, regardless of price, is ridiculous. 

After reading this, I'm glad I got some of those Cryo'd Porter Ports all those years ago when he used to sell them here, on A'gon. From what I remember, they sounded better, gripped great, and I've never looked back. And, they were  reasonably priced (I believe they set me back about $24 apiece).

All the best,

My point is that I conducted a hearing shootout and heard a difference , some equipment is easier to do a/b or a/b/c/d testing .  Using an electrical box that holds 4 outlets made the experiment easy , I've done hearing experiments with fuses on a guitar amp and  multiple power cords connected to my amplifier . 

As a retired Biomedical equipment technician I once thought that an outlet was just an outlet other than the Medical Grade outlets had a firmer grip and much heavier body , that a fuse was just a fuse and a power cord just needed to be the correct gauge and jacket  . The only time extra filters were needed was when using EEG and EKG equipment . But as an audiophile I learned that differences can be heard with any change made, that doesn't mean that you need an outlet that is the most expensive , a fuse that cost more than a good bottle of Scotch or a power cord that cost as much as a used car to hear a difference or improvement .  

Gold plating and Rhodium over Silver plating does have a effect , subtle but there .

So much of this one has to hear it to believe it , just I learned through trial and error.

@nonoise: I too have the Porter Ports, which are good enough for me. But then I’m not fanatical about that kind of stuff. Is Albert still offering them? Geez, I hope he didn't die and I never heard about it! ;-(
