Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

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.  

I for one say thet yes they do make a difference, I have just replaced a 30 foot ethernet cable with one made with better materials and rfi and other screens. and I have to say I am very pleased with the results, the treble especially is less pronounced and altogether much more believable. Yes I do know some of you will say i am imagining it but what I say is this the person who changes a cheap fairly long cable and replaces it with a very wll made shielded cable and dosn't hear a differense is needing their ears cleaned out

>>>>Let me break it to you, Mr. Kownitall. There is no such thing as a scientifically valid listening test. Full stop. If you think there is you’re simply mistaken or misinformed, whatever. We’ve been over all of this before so I’ll leave it to the student to search the archives. I did testing, you know, professionally. Not in my mother’s basement. So you can stop putting on airs.

Again if someone says they can jump up 10’ from a stand it’s TRIVIAL to test this claim. This doesn’t need a science lab with interns, tons of diagnostic equipment and dissertation.

>>>>Uh, but nobody’s making that claim. No one is claiming he can fly or that UFOs are real, either. That’s what we call a Strawman Argument. People can think up all kinds of absurd cases that have no relevance to the actual issue at hand.
