Personally, I think that if a "well" (and there are very few of those)
conducted listening test fails to show a difference between two systems/
components, then the differences (if any) are probably not worth worrying
too much about. However, I see no problem whatsoever in anyone conducting
their own home listening tests and deciding on the basis of those tests
that one item is better than the other. It is the height of arrogance for
anyone to claim that they are "wrong".

It shouldn't have to be "well" conducted if, as disciples claim,
cables make an immediate and striking difference.
