Comment about speaker cables/interconnects

But, I also know that cables do sometimes act in funny ways. Until
someone can adequately model every potential agent acting in random
ways concurrently in a cable, there is room for some healthy
scepticism about whether or not they make a difference.

Isn't it interestig that no manufacturer, seller, designer or enthusiast has
ever produced results from a bias controlled listening test that nominally
competent wires (rca, XLR or speaker cable) have any sound of there own.
I've conducted a half dozen experiments (ABX, Cable Swap) with more than 20
subjects over the years where cable differences, if present, should have been a
sonic factor (in 4 cases subjects used their reference systems and had verified
those "differences," one subject was the 'designer' of his regionally branded
cables and in total over half compared their own cables to another.
I think the lack of positive, replicable evidence is enough for everyone to be
skeptical about whether sonic cable differences exist.
