Watermelon test for audiophiles!

Hey,

In this hot and perfect watermelon season (where lots of them are really tasty and sweet), I was wondering if audiophiles can actually pick up a PERFECT watermelon just by tapping it and listening to the tap.  If one can hear differences between different cables, it's a lot easier task to listen to watermelon tap. Or on the other hand, if you can't tell which watermelon is perfect by tapping, how come you can hear differences in wires or cables?

@desktopguy ,

I believe the premise of the op is that if you do not possess the auditory skills to hear the reverberations of a perfectly ripe melon whilst tapping upon it, you do not possess the skills to discern the auditory differentials of various quality cables.

But in a fun, lighthearted way.

Hey all, what I really noted, that, indeed, tapping and listening not enough by far even if you do have GOLDEN EARS!!! 

YOU NEED, I repeat YOU DO NEED MEASUREMENTS!!!

GETIT??

You need to SIZE and MEASURE it.

It must be HEAVY -- heavy components normally sound A LOT BETTER than light ones. It must show not too dim and not too bright NATURAL colors...

Enjoy your watermelons again...
