Really? And yet you believe in 'cable sound' in the absence of any
reliable and repeatable evidence that it exists? Fascinating.....

Put it this way...

I've never seen or heard any evidence of the existence of God, Allah, or
any of the other 101 different deities worshipped by various religions.
All I've seen are kooks stamping their feet and waving their arms around
going on about "miracles" and "the second coming" etc etc. And any
so-called "miracle" can usually be explained by science, if not now then
eventually.

On the other hand, I've heard quite clear and reproducible differences
between the sound of different cables, both interconnect and speaker
cables. The first time being in a hi-fi shop, when a friendly assistant
demonstrated the difference between a freebie and a Sonic Link Pink,
knowing full well I wasn't in a position to buy anything at that stage
(this was during my student days). At the time I was a hardened sceptic
as far as cables were concerned, and indeed was still using freebie
cables in my home system. So I wasn't expecting to hear any difference
at all, and was somewhat amazed when there was indeed such a big difference.

But if you say you can't hear a difference between cables, I believe
you. I believe anyone that says they can't hear a difference. I've known
people that couldn't tell the difference between a £99 midi system and
£4k worth of separates (my last g/f for example).

But I don't believe you if you say "there is no difference", because
clearly there is.

In a recent post I mentioned I'd tested the upper limit of my hearing,
which was somewhere past 22kHz. I'm also cursed with perfect pitch,
although I'm not sure if that has any bearing.
