The evidence, I'm afraid, is against you:

There are a lot of assertions but no evidence that I can find. Can you
please indicate a verifiable experiment in the links given that I may
have missed?


Andy - you seem to have snipped important parts of my post. The above
links are *evidence* that people can differentiate between cables. Now,
*I* wouldn't stretch the point to suggest that it's verifiable or
replicable; I haven't correlated it. But if you dismiss these findings
out of hand then you don't get past (1) - see my OP.

You have a very poor idea of what constitutes evidence. If I advanced
an opinion that you were a rapist, would you say "fair dos" and hand
yourself in at the nearest police station?


Er, no! On what basis would you make that claim?

The same basis that cable sellers claim audible difference.

Understand this - what people crow in the throes of pride of ownership
of something pretty and expensive is NOT evidence.


Good. Got there. The reason for the claims of superior cable sound is
'pride of ownership'. Phew. Now, evidence please.

If you oaid £3,000 for a pair of speaker cables, would you happily
admit that they sound the same as mains cable?
