Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference

Cwby8115, Don't forget to burn your new cables. For best results: 30min in 325deg oven. Use gloves.

Person could say

"I cannot hear the difference in sound while using different cables but perhaps others can"

instead of saying in denial

"I cannot hear the difference, therefore it has to be snake oil and anybody who claims to hear it is wrong".

Take it easy. It is absolutely normal that your hearing instrument might be not very sharp. No need to go into denial. People wear glasses (seeing aid) and are not afraid to admit that their vision is less than 20/20. Please don't be so defensive to call others sarcastically "Golden Ears".

Myself, I realize, that there are people on this forum with much better hearing than mine. Many of them are even orchestra musicians. Also, many people have more experience in audio, have more resolving systems and better room acoustics. I wouldn't dare to say they cannot hear the difference.
