Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade

i know because i can hear. i understand music.i have been a industry professional since 1975 with many systems. i listen for a week or so and don,t just switch back and forth. i don,t have a team of roadies to make the switches and run a/b tests. i don,t plan on installing a soniclly transparent curtain in my living room. that is how i know. has anyone here done all this? come on,,if it sounds better trust your ears. if it doesn,t just go buy some ht theatre stuff, drink up and listen in the dark and give up. why buy sophisticated gear if you can't hear a difference?

Matjet quote:

"How do you know that the improved sound that you perceive by installing the beautifully crafted, expensive, highly regarded after market brand name power cable is not psychological (placebo) unless you can identify it blindly?

I find testing/comparing speaker cable a pain in the neck. Lots of disconnecting, reconnecting, moving things, it is an effort. Testing power cables is less work, much easier to switch. I will do some testing within the next couple of weeks."

this is why I suggested the recording option in my earlier post here on 01_22.
I believe Wireworld produced a cable comparison cd around 8 years ago.

But I wonder why this method has not been tried since ,either by another cable company or by a member here who has the suitable equipment.
If the differences are real ( which I tend to believe are) wouldn't it be heard on such a recording?

I don't understand how your cd comparison works. Please describe it step by step.

I am curious, how would you answer the two questions?

you don,t get it do you? i can hear. you must let the power cord have some energy thru it for a while for it to settle in. this makes a/bs virtually impossible. if you can't hear a difference then that is your problem. a/bs have been discredited anyway because the initial brighter sound may be more impressive at the beginning but after a while may not be what an improvement at all. this is why people that know what good sound is do not do a/bs. they listen for a few days and understand and comprehend what they are sensing. yes,,sensing. as in hearing. try it.as for liking a cable because it is attractive and expensive you need to try some various products out there. some of the best sounding are not jewlery for your system.
