Come off it, I can't see there being any problem with me being able to hear
differences, but you would just say there's no difference. Perhaps people's
hearing is different in ways we can't describe, it would be unprovable,
which is why there's no way of resolving debates about the existence or not
of 'cable sound'.

It's nothing to do with what *I* say, it's a matter of whether *you*
can hear a difference when you don't *know* what's connected.

As an electronics engineer mainly working on switch mode power supplies
running between frequencies of 10kHz and 2 MHz, I can see scope waveforms or
spectrum analysis change dramatically with cable lengths of 2 inches or
copper track changes of a few mm, so 4 metres of audio cable has a lot of
potential with all that nasty music stuff flying around but music's 'jumbled
mess' just doesn't lend itself to easy analytical observation, that's what
our ears are for.

If you're an EE, you should understand that what cables do at 2MHz has
nothing to do with music. As noted, all you have to do is demonstrate
that *you* really can hear the 'night and day' differences you claim.
If you can, you'll be the first................
