randy-11, have you seen my review of the Audio by Van Alstine ABX Comparator? You may find that interesting. That's my forthright contribution to my own curiosity about ABX, and a gift to the community because I took significant risk as a reviewer to put on trial, as it were, my perception that the changes I hear between cables are real.
Somehow, I wonder if you will gleefully pick it apart, and if that's the case then so be it. I'm not interested in arguing about the work, but it will stand as is. As with my faith, so also in the experience of using aftermarket cables; I seek more than just an experience. :)
Regarding cables in your post above, you asserted, "another confounding factor is that changing cables often breaks up corrosion, which could have been done w/o using a different cable." Have you conducted blind testing to confirm your hypothesis? If not, then what makes you think it is so? I suggest belief. :)
