Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???

Not all EE's are so stubborn-minded so don't go classifying everyone here along with the rest of 'em. This from an old-school "wire-is-wire" EE who's finally HEARD the light! My testing is blind too - blind faith, because I don't fully understand the reasons explaining what I unquestionably do hear.
I don't fully comprehend all of the physics involved in driving my automobile either - but that certainly doesn't stop me from enjoying that experience.

I double blind tested some tires this morning on the interstate. The screeching tires and screams of terror where about the same with both sets, so I will stick with the cheep ones for now.

"CHEAP ONES" sorry, I am also testing 2 keyboards....

Isn't this beginning to get really silly? RHUBARB to all. Lets do as Albert says, lets "shut up and dance", exchange and share with each other for the advancement of music in the home and its enjoyment.

70242,

I believe you've misread my scribblings. Nowhere have I expressed a fear of DBTs. In fact, I think they have their uses; but the measurement-only crowd ( among whom you seem to number ) puts too much emphasis on them. Put another way, the numbers folks display an almost religious passion in their belief that if it can't be measured, it can't be heard. There is a staggering amount of anecdotal evidence that contradicts that.

I ain't afraid of DBTs, merely think their capability of resolving subtle differences is overdone.

I do believe, again, do believe that eventually the things we benighted listeners hear, and which you do not, will be amenable of quantification: the technology to measure these things just isn't sophisticated enough. Electronic instrumentation is not nearly refined enough to search out the things the human auditory system can perceive.
