Of course. But I would expect to able to post that the test will be
happening during - say - the next week, so that interested parties
know that they should keep alert for the results.



You know, in the end, the final analysis, as it were, if my preference
for my cables turns out to be *proven* with absolute certainty as being
a placebo, I will, in the end, choose to go on with the placebo...



Absolutely the correct choice. Of course the placebo effect tends to
vanish once the trick is revealed.


Well I am only human, not a being superior such as Thou. So I have a
tendency to doubt myself. And I am happy to report that the "doubt" has
no effect on my state of placebo, those italian beauties still disappear.


No you don't. I have a tendency to doubt myself - which is why I don't
fall for the nonsense my senses frequently throw at me.



Would you rather do the test with the speakers disconnected? I am
happy if it helps you.


Let's see what happens after I fail your test. I will report my personal
preference audiophoolery results.


Funny, I thought you were going to pass with ease - like you did last
time you blind tested yourself...
