My question: What do you hope to
gain, or prove, with your beloved "test" for cables?

A demonstration of the variant of the placebo effect
that applies to audio. And it is brutal on one's ego
for one to admit that one has fallen for hype.

How is reality validated when the end result is
null testing?

Null results validate theories that predict null results and invalidate
theories that predict positive results. A well-known example from the
history of science would be the scientific tests that were used to look
for
the "Ether Wind".

Dear Arny never mind "history". Just give a reference (Title,
author(s), journal, year, volume, Nr,, page(s)) .to one single
moderated , statistically valid, comparison of comparable audio
components by a sizable representative panel.

Why do you insist on a panel? Do you not think that no difference or
differnce is not going to be pretty much the same for everybody? And even
if it's not, it's still a personal decision on what one chooses to buy, so a
DBT would only apply to that person.

Elsewhere you pleaded inability to buy, borrow, rent an SET amp for
comparison.

When did he say that? I've only seen him say he didn't want to be
responsible for coming up with one.

That was just my attempt to make it easy for you to show
that your test does ever, ever show up differences (not just the null-
"it all sounds the same" results).

Yo just can't stop lying, can you?

Please pick the comparisons YOU
like: loudspeakers, cartridges, whatever. Something must sound
different from something else in audio yes, no?

And there are examples of such at the ABX web site

Sorry it has to be a *reference*- like in your profession's journal
JAES at the end of every article. Not proclamations of faith by your
clown-prince- you know who- but *evidence* that your test WORKS..

If it didn't work nobody would use it, but we know that they do, otherwise
there wouldn't be anyone manufacturing them.

Four decades have gone by and we're still waiting.

For decades, you've been ignoring the reality.

Sorry to be repetitive but what I'm asking for is elementary science.

Then why not do your own tests and show everybody.

I
rub my eyes to see that this argument meanders perennially in circles
instead of staying with the simple, basic essentials.

Only because you refuse to accept reality.

I think that
quite a few of your "subjectivist" opponents enjoy playing your games
and would not end give them up just for the boring, prosaic scientific
facts.

You seem to choose to ignore the scientific facts, in favor of endless
jabbering.
