I follow a couple of`Forums on the internet. It has caused a lot of
wriggling a squirming from a few belivers / snake oil sellers.

I wonder if anyone will take up the challenge.?

I would do one for interconnects. Power cables I'm not so happy about doing
as it would be much harder I think.

They're all *impossible*, as you will discover. To avoid excessive
embarrassment, try it with a friend before entering into the full
challenge. I suspect that this is what happens with all the
loudmouthed subjectivists, who never actually step up to the plate
despite shrill claims of 'night and day' differences under sighted
conditions.

It's not at all impossible, it's just difficult, because they affect the
sound in subtle ways.

Interconnects, possibly, if one is badly flawed in design or far too
long. Power cables, no (excepting woefully inadequate CSA or excessive
resistance). Maybe the odd electron here or there, but nothing
measureable or perceptible.

As I said in another thread, I *think* Stewart's conditions give you a
slightly-better-than 1:50 chance of walking off with the money. Good
luck with that.

What is interesting is a lot of these charlatans say they have
conducted there own blind trials and can pick these cables every time,
so why oh why dont they just take the test take Stewarts money and rub
his noise in it!???

You don't actually need to answer that as it is blinking obvious why.

Bull****. Just try it, then slip quietly away........

I will, but only if they fit one of those £35 fuses into the plug

Not true, but I wouldn't expect any other form of reply from someone like
you.

Maybe it's because Stewart is a pretentious arsehole? Just a theory.
