BTW I think the value of A/B testing is flawed, not so much in the theory but in the execution, and of little real value. FWIW.
100%. And not just for cables. For components as well. To properly assess the changes you need to have several listening sessions 3-4 days in a row each day with a new component only. Let everything settle including your initial reaction. Then go back to old component or cables. Whatever it is you’re evaluating.
How I know this? I’ve made plenty of bad rush decisions only to realize days later that what I heard was different but not necessarily better.
So to @newbee ’s point, A/B testing, blind or not, is bull 💩.
