Ok! So only you guys know, only you guys right!

The what so ever EE principal, physics theory never draw into a conclusion
like: "So, it concluded that wire is wire, cable does not matter", that is
your conclusion, so do not try to add that to the scientists.


I don't think you understand what some of us are saying, which is that
competently designed cables all sound the same. And that it is trivially
easy to design competent cables that are audibly transparent. And that
the cost of a cable has a small effect on the performance of the cable.
You don't need to spend 15%, or 5%, of your system cost on cables.
Spending more on a cable does not lead to a better sounding cable.

Of course you can come up with cables that sound different. Some
companies actually intentionally do that.


Fine, if you insist on living in that little hole, that's your life, your
opinion.


And if you believe that you have to spend at least 5% of your system
cost on cables, well, that's your life, too .

BTW, how come nobody can answer my question: "If you can distinguish two
cables the first time, why bother to do another 19 times? If you can't
distinguish them, why bother to give yourself a second chance?"


You have to understand that anyone can randomly guess right. Just like
if you were to guess the outcome of a coin toss, there is a 50% chance
of guessing right. If you can guess the outcome of a coin toss 19 out of
20 times, you're onto something.


When I was in college, everytime I proved a theory, I only need to prove it
once, never heard of I have to continusly prove to it 16 out of 20 times to
pass the proof.


Just out of curiosity, what theory did you prove in college?


You can happily enjoy your what so ever principal, while the others (I
tempted to use millions again) are still enjoying the open air of cable
world.

Good luck!


Happy cable hunting!
