Repeatable! Verifiable! Testable! A noble attempt. But everything with audiophiles, it's sex, lies, and video tapes.

Damn ... I wonder which is worse? The $70K cables or the list above. Can I buy that list? How much? I don't have $70K. Can you take monthly installments? I can use the list to meditate to improve my music listening. |
I understand where OP is coming from. But from another perspective, there are a lot of people with a lot of money. For those who are driving Toyota Corolla, they probably have the same feeling toward those who are buying a $19 million dollar
Bugatti Chiron
or even a $350K Ferrari.
I on the other hand appreciate those who willing to do the research to make a $70K cables. It's the human spirits we should celebrate. It's what advances the human race. It's like Ford selling a $18 thousand dollar Fiesta but also at the same time selling a $400 thousand dollar Ford GT. I am sure the company selling the $70K cables also selling some low end cables that people can afford at 800 dollar.
Imagine this. What would you do if you won a $70Million dollar lottery? I am willing to bet you may be tempted to get the $70K cables ... or at least some very high end cables you never thought you would buy because of the cost. There are a lot of millionaires in the world and I want them to buy as many $70K cables as possible. The profits will be used to make better lower end cables that will benefit those audiophiles with modest spending power.

that $70,000 cable can perform noticeably better than one that costs 1/10 or even 1/100th the price.
Fair enough ..... Give me that test. |
Rolex keeps better time than someone else's $50 atomic clock linked Casio, then don't be surprised when someone calls you out on it.
Don't put words in my mouth lols, I never said anything about the Rolex lols. Already you failed in your first attempt.
With the $70K audio cable, there is no verified evidence that it provides superior audio, and hence most of the price is "jewellery"
I could think of a few things ... I'll roll it up like a pretty little necklace and wear it on my neck to show it off lols. And maybe go to a wedding with it lols.
$400K on a Ferrari, or $1.9mil on a Bugatti
Actually that's $19mil Bugatti, not $1.9mil :-) Extra zero's make me horny. Your list really got in my way lols. |
From the movie Patton, there is a scene in which Patton and the Morocco president on the stands watching the marching of Morocco military men wearing beautiful uniforms. Patton turned to the Morocco president and said something to the following "It's beautiful. A perfect combination of military and Hollywood." |
Cables can induce such hatred. "Don't hate me because I am a cable lols".
I used to work with a guy who graduated from CalTech who was one of the smartest engineer I knew. He told me his brother was an avid audiophile. They used to have an argument that cables don't make any difference.
The CalTech engineer was so adamant that speaker cables don't make any difference and came up with all sort of theories trying to explain why cables should not make any difference.
Yeah ... some people trying to use logic to explain why some people would pay for a $70K cables. Don't they know better?
Give me that test. I'll prove you wrong America. |
I hate Ferrari drivers because I am not one of them lols. Cable haters are a bunch of commies. They don't get capitalism. |
Where does infrared light get stored after being absorbed by whatever color that absorbs it?
I wonder where hotter? My front or my back lols. |
I am missing this one. Any way to simplify it?
I prefer the front. Not sure if I can simplify it. |
Apparently we may have a genius in here. He's not only an engineer, but also a neurologist, an expert in human psychology especially in the field of
psychoacoustics
, and his knowledge spans the entire sum of the cybersphere, and in fact he may even have an encyclopedic knowledge of all things since the beginning of time.
The only way to combat such a superhuman is if "copy and paste" can be all banned :-)

Maybe one day I buy a new house
make sure it's blind test, blind test, blind test ... eeeeerrrrrr .... I meant make sure it's location, location, location ...... This forum got me all mixed up ..... blind test ..... ok, I need a break ... maybe go tending my garden ... |
From now on I will only do blind datings ... the only way to find the right girl. |
Damn, the man now is trying too hard to save his flawed logic.
The attractive sports car gets "old" when it spends too much time in the shop. The attractive "date", gets tiring when the personality is not there.
Now, that's real relevant. The man now is running into a dead end. |
Since there are those who insist on science, I’ve learned that the eyes and ears both are important for the brain to process "sound". When the eyes are closed, there are certain processing within the brain will get turned off as well and therefore the brain will not be able fully process the sound with just the ears alone.
Based on that, blind tests are in themselves not valid. But of course, what does blind tests have anything to do with logic lols. I’d like to see how one can weasel oneself out of this conundrum :-)
It's like comparing two different chefs, but one is not allowed to use salt and sugar.

They can't bring anything to the table, so they cast ad-hominems, strawmans, and deflections.
It'd admire someone who can look at himself in the mirror lols. |
Damn, the man is quick ... and good.
How about speakers? That would be hard with eyes opening and not able to see the speakers. |
As I said. 24/7 professional forum writer, master debater.
I thought he's a consultant. |
Sure ! Whatever that means. From my experience, whoever does not have a job, says “I’m consulting”
So he spends 24/7 on-line posting? |
