People like you come along, make wild claims about hearing 'cable
sound', and then magically disappear when challenged to demonstrate
that they can hear such differences when they don't *know* which cable
is connected.

The only conditions that matter are listening in my own familiar room
to my own system. If anyone can manage to make this unsighted, fine.

This has been done with several people who claimed 'night and day'
differences such as you have done. Same result in each case - the
'obvious' differences mysteriously vanish when you don't *know* what's
connected.

I would say rather that the obvious differences disappear when you are
required to conceptualize them and on the basis of that
conceptualization make a large number of discriminations in a limited
amount of time.

Demonstrate that that is the reason why some disappear.

Also, some "night and day" differences are imagined.

Do tell.
