With usual my computer speaker (Bose companion 3),best sound (0:17), 2nd best (0:50), Worst (1:08). This shows the difference between listening to sound where we know what we're hearing and can be influenced vs a blind test. I was falling into ...

Do you think I recorded these samples a second time? I just plucked them off of the original and separated them with a dead spot from the original. There was no change in any equipment involved.

@mihorn You chose the JPS cord as the best & worst sound, the WT v2 was your second best choice. I agree with @mahgister they all sound the same.

@dwcda so what are you hearing with the transparent cables in your system? Any conclusions? I just swapped my Mogami for the Transparent. To me they immediately sounded better but after 10 minutes  of swapping it's really hard  to tell. So  I'l...

But professing what you perceive should apply to others’ perceptions and/or use cases? Better off having some evidence. I don't find that people do that. For the most part I've found that those who think cables make a difference will detail the...

The flooring is 5/8" rubber mats. They sit on a floor covered in marmoleum flooring. Both offer acoustic abilities. The difference in sound from the hardwood flooring on the upstairs room is pretty impressive. But I do have a large thick rug that ...

Thanks for the advice. I think the dealer will let me have the cables for a month.
