scientific double blinded cable test


Can somebody point to a scientific double blinded cable test?

For the millionth time, why does everybody ignore the fact that the Aczel crowd never maintained that all cables sound the same. Their theory was that all differences between cables are due solely to inductance, resistance and capacitance values, which are easily measured and can drastically change the frequency response of a speaker. So, yes - cables with the same LCR values will sound the same. So they maintain. Whether it’s true or not is another story.
@geoff - 
Actually, I did not intend to defend Aczel's position, as I have never personally tested it using cables with the exact same LRC characteristics.  I was merely repeating it, but I do agree it came off somewhat as a defense. 

As an aside, I recall the Naim hiline interconnect making a system-transforming difference (for the better) over the Naim standard IC and Naim attributed it primarily to the vibration-resistant connectors they used.  So there are other considerations.  Then again, the two ICs may have had very different LCRs, so there's always that.
