James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all

This thread makes no sense. The failure of anyone to accept the Randi challenge shows nothing except the inability to accept the methodology of the test. The fact that both sides think the method determines the result to me at least, means that the method, not whether there are differences among cables is all that is in question. As such, nothing will ever be proven or disproven.

hi brizon:

what evidence do you have that all cables sound the same ? as you know, you can't prove a hypothesis only disprove it. if your hypothesis is that there exists no difference bwteen the sound of cables, you would have to test all combinations of cable. if you tested say, 100 pairs of interconnects and ecah test failed to show that there was a difference between two pair of cable, that would not prove that all cable sounds the same. you hafve made a very unscientific and unsustainable statement.
certainly you are entitlee to your opinion. all i would have to do would be to select two pair of interconnect, a stereo system, several recordings and perform a double blind test and fail to support your hypothesis. i bet i can do that.

And on my system, every cable, regardless of price, will sound no better, and almost all worse than what I have, short thin ribbon SCs. There is no blind test necessary. Loud discordant distortion is easy to verify.

That is because the ones I have tried followed a pattern. The more fancy boxes or insulation the cables are buried in the more the signal suffers.

With simple exceptions, I guess I agree with Brizonbiovizier for the most part.

Muralman, are you planning to market your ribbon SCs, or will you tell us how to make our own?
