Then there is the issue of not all ears being equal. Just as in all other human endeavors, training and experience matter. As Michael Fremer has reported, when the results of blind tests come in, the very top and bottom performers in a group are "thrown out", the former being cited as an aberration. In a group of 10 listeners, 8 of them may score in the middle----half correct answers (or guesses ;-), half incorrect---one below that, and one above. If one listener identifies 10 out of 10 correctly, it’s a pretty good bet he really does hear a difference, yet his result is dismissed. Even if it weren’t, in the field of scientific study, 10 out of 10 is not considered statistically significant. Who cares?!
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
For those who state that cables don't make a difference...... are you saying that all cables sound the same? If not, what are you saying? I've experimented with many different brands and materials and I can't possibly believe that those naysayers hear no differences. And if the science says that the cables should sound the same, a simple experiment (listening!!!) should prove otherwise. Or, are these naysayers not listening for changes in resolution, soundstaging/imaging, coherence.....and so on between cables? Please elaborate on what you are NOT hearing and feel free to drop names. What cables have you compared that didn't sound different? I've just gotta know. I'm floored every time I see a post or response in which cables are called snake oil or something comparable. Please enlighten me......Thanks.
