The Science of Cables

I have noticed the members with the most technical knowledge here seem to have less expensive wires than the ones with less knowledge . 

And speaking of nonsense, when you gonna be calling NASA ?

I'll leave that up to people who have something to sell. If past experience shows anything, NASA has a very open mind right until claims become unproveable.

Monty's (From Xiph) lecture about digital signals on how 24-bit/192 KHz media has no audible differences when compared to 16-bit/44.1 KHz media can be applied to cables as well.

Until somebody that has golden ears (Please submit yourself as a subject as scientists are dying to study you) can prove in a double blind A/B test that there is a difference between cable A and cable B, then expensive cables merely exist to strip people with limited scientific knowledge of their hard earned money. This is assuming cable A is a Monoprice 14/16AWG cable and cable B is some ridiculous Nordost frey snake-oil cable.

Just because someone else can hear a difference, doesn't mean you can, so try the same double blind A/B test yourself.

There will always be a number of people with more money than sense and that's what these businessmen exploit, it's simply profitable business so why wouldn't they?

Guess it would be real interesting to find out who, on average, has the better sounding rigs. The folks who ultimately rely on the LCR or those that rely on the EAR.

I suspect this has been linked here before, but blind tests have rarely supported the idea that people can hear the difference.
