Do your ears deceive you?

If you think cables, interconnects or other wiring make a difference, yes they do. This is a long article so I won't post it here but will a link describing how blind testing results in correct guessing that is no more accurate than random chance. Enjoy.

Cables need to be considered as a component not an accessory. As with any other component system synergy is the key that unlocks the door. IMO the issue with HEA(retailers/reviewers/YouTube) is the focus on 1 component NOT the complete system.

Cable skeptics have an obsession with cost over synergy which is the key with cables. Dedicated lines also help with subtle nuances, what % of skeptics have dedicated lines?

Those of us that believe cables play an important role in fine tuning an audio system are not trying to convince anyone. Time, effort and money are needed that could derail the casual Audiophile in finding out the truth. In conclusion fine detail and subtle nuances are IMO what HEA is about. Not everyone has the same level of passion and interest in this hobby/lifestyle.
