Over the years these Audio newsgroups have been a beehive of
activity regarding Cables, Amps, CD players...etc.

There is a contingent on some of these groups that tend to have
an Engineering bent toward those that frequent the High-End
audio...basically, it states your "imagination is misleading you"
There are no detectable differences in cables, etc.


According to William of Occam, nature does not work in a more
complicated way than necessary. Given two explanations, the one that
is simpler is more likely to be true.

As Einstein said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not
simpler."

The simplest explanation for why
people hear difference between cable is that there are audible
differences between cables.

The simplest explanation for why the sun rises in the east and sets in the
west is that the sun revolves around the earth. So much for Occam. (Or,
rather, so much for your version of Occam.)

Citing 'psychological factors' is no
explanation at all.

So what is Occam's explanation for why people sometimes hear differences
between things that are exactly the same?
