Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
LOL. Simple questions can’t be answered. I have the sighted subjectivist crowd DEMANDING scientifically rigorous testing. Oh this is a hoot.If you can find a single post where I was maintaining that this was supposed to be AES worthy let me know. ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I think you are confused.If you state that you can jump 10’ straight up from a standstill and either I bring a 10’ high bar or we use your 10’ high bar. What are we exactly testing, why isn’t the 10’ high bar valid, and why do we need 49 other peo... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
No, it tests the claim. And sighted evaluation, and anecdotal accounts are 100% rigorous. Gotcha.  Guess what happens when you at 1+1 and do it 48 more times over the course of time? You increase the sample size.

My offer, as it was for William, was to do this in the listeners setup. No money involved. Seems way more than fair to the claimant.  
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
If "advocates" of blind testing were serious, they would submit the protocol for advance review here, and the test would be performed in public, which would allow witnesses and an opportunity for others to participate. This could be done at an a...

Sorry, but upfront payment was demanded, along with other prerequisites. The posts were deleted by the moderators. The promoter of the scheme is quite persistent, so it’s likely you’ll see what he calls an "opportunity" promoted again. Just stay... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
We are talking about Ethernet cables ( I shouldn't have directly quoted btw ). I’ve already setup with a managed L3 switch, dynamic LACP LAG, the data cabling equivalent of the WW comparator. No one demanded any up front payment. Links to those po...

Question to self: why is it always the same ones who can hear differences in fuses, differences in directionality or differences in cables but can never seem to demonstrate it blind therefore validating their ears? 😬

Michters single barrel bourbon? Whoa! Sorry, Charlie! We want tuna that tastes good, not tuna with good taste. I'll bet you know a good Bourbon same as you know when a cable sounds good. By looking at the label as you drink it. Michters is the Bo... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I don't understand why folks that choose not to believe in differences in cabling actually debate with those of us that can detect differences in sound quality. WRT to Ethernet cabling it's as simple as putting money where your mouth is. If yo...

Of course when you are able to get people "jacked up" on hard liquor it is very possible What? Jacked up on liquor? It was a host gift. No one was jacked up on anything. If four shots total were poured for the entire day I would have been surpris...

You can make what ever mountains out of molehills you like. Nothing I can do to change that. I've also offered to do this at a show. The underlying theme is people and their beliefs are easily separated.  
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
Bottom line is I went out to Williams’ house. We all had a good time and food for thought. Even brought a bottle of Michters' single barrel Bourbon.He didn’t know that Tidal would cache the entire song and you could pull the plug. People will ofte... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I am referring to timing jitter at the point of D/A conversion. And I am referring to the possibility that cable differences may affect the characteristics of RF noise that may bypass (i.e., find its way **around**) the ethernet interface, buffers... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
That’s interesting. Can you please tell us more about your comparison? Was it based solely on measurements? If you conducted listening tests, can you please tell us how they were conducted? Which specific cables did you evaluate? Nordost Heimda...
