What are we objectivists missing?

I have been following (with much amusement) various threads about cables and tweaks where some claim "game changing improvements" and other claim "no difference".  My take is that if you can hear a difference, there must be some difference.  If a device or cable or whatever measures exactly the same it should sound exactly the same.  So what are your opinions on what those differences might be and what are we NOT measuring that would define those differences?

It’s simple.  There are far too many variables in audio for anyone else to tell you what a change will do in your system.

Only buy from sellers who let you return the cable or the tweak if it doesn’t improve the SQ in your system.  Give it time to burn in, if it’s a cable or component, generally 100 hours or so, listen to it for a day, go back to what you had before and decide what you like better.
