Do your ears deceive you?

If you think cables, interconnects or other wiring make a difference, yes they do. This is a long article so I won't post it here but will a link describing how blind testing results in correct guessing that is no more accurate than random chance. Enjoy.

@cleeds indeed I'm not a cable denier.  but when I hear a cable review that sounds like a wine review complete with overtones of anis an sage, by BS meter pegs.

Not this $hit again....give it a rest already.

No. My ears do not deceive me.

Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean I can't hear it.

Grow up.

Why so defensive? If cables actually do make a difference, price shouldn't matter. Also, who said anything about affordability?

Here we go again.  The question of whether cables make a difference or not.  If you're a person that, after all these years, still don't believe that cables make a difference, fine.  You just go ahead and stick with your bulk, Monster, speaker cables, just like we did 40, 50, years ago before we knew any better.  Really, who cares?

The OP's source a 28 year old test that only tested differences between wire gauges. The only test that matters is the person doing the listening, in their own system with their own music. Theories and opinions by others are irrelevant.
