Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

I have the sighted subjectivist crowd DEMANDING scientifically rigorous testing.

Not so. I’ve simply pointed out that what you claim is a scientifically valid test is nothing of the sort.

If you can find a single post where I was maintaining that this was supposed to be AES worth let me know.

You’ve claimed your protocol is valid, scientific. It isn’t. That’s the simple answer to your fuzzy simple question.

Personally, I don't have much use for double-blind listening tests ... although I have a mild general interest in them.

Just scroll up, silly - you’ve been doing your best here to defend the validity of your testing protocol. If you now recognize that your methods haven’t been scientific - good for you. We can move on.

If you wish to engage in semantic argument, I’m not interested.

Irony... Snake oilers demanding "scientific" listening evaluations. I hate to break it to you, but nothing I've seen here remotely resembles what would pass as a scientific evaluation. For the test to be valid you have to control for every possible influence on the listener's hearing, including how rested they are, emotional state, how nourished they are, and many other factors. You'd have to run dozens if not hundreds of listening tests on every subject to rule out all other factors so you can scientifically say with certainty it's the cable. Since snake oilers won't believe the hard science of the technology, that really is the only other avenue of proof to pursue.
