Wire that sounds different, guaranteed

This week's stereophile in its online offerings has a gem of an article. 'AudioQuest Headquarters Tour' http://www.stereophile.com/content/a...dquarters-tour If one would want to produce subjective results guaranteed, the "tests" described at the wire company could not have been setup more perfectly. See if you can spot the obvious flaws in the "tests"? =A0Extra points for those who spot the attempts to vaccinate the author's remarks against these flaws? For an even more interesting question, why did they bother when the outcomes were predictable? =A0Might it have something to do with trying t= o vainly evoke science in support of a marketing department? From the Article: Next up was the new favorite bugaboo on the block=97the HDMI audio cable. Yes, we're going there. One modest system, two HDMI cables=97 stock and AudioQuest. Listen, swap, listen. Blind or not your choice but I preferred to watch everyone's reaction, which was the same as mine=97wow! Yeah, right! Lost me at "listen, swap, listen". So you _know_ what is happening when and as it happens. Which either indicates extremely poorly of the OEM cables and/or the listeners. I have seen some very cheap HDMI cables out there with poorly managed (even comical) connector/strain-relief systems and insulation of dubious value - but as "stock" is not independently chosen it is very likely defined and specified as such by AQ so as to guarantee the results desired. Then, what Audio Empire wrote. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
