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.

>>>>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.

Well, if you're right then jim204 up there just gave a detailed evaluation of his imagination and nothing but, which I really do believe is what he just did. We can control for the cable very easily so that leaves the ball squarely in Jim's imagination. 

Costco, you haven’t been following. If he heard it it doesn’t matter if the test was “scientifically valid” or not. And it does not matter if there were mistakes somewhere in his system or if the system was not the ultimate in resolution or if he had issues with hearing or if the weather wasn’t the best. He had positive results *in spite* of all that. Hel-loo!

Positive results are much more important and interesting than negative results, which don’t mean anything taken as a single test, don’t you think? Nothing succeeds like success. And failure is no success at all. I suggest you go back to one of my posts where I explain everything and memorize it.

The level of abject ignorance here proudly displayed by forum users such as jinjuku and kosst are a striking demonstration of the American education system that such level of scientific illiteracy could prevail among a population such as is found here that would pretend to be knowledgeable and explains why the USA has for years been in state of steady decline compared to the substantial advancements that much of the rest of the modern world has made during the same time period. Your future is not bright if the solution to your ignorance is to insult degrade and seek to publically embarrass and chastise a person who has tried to enlighten you even by some small measure do not misunderstand me I think cleeds is worse than a winkly dinkler and it is readily apparent from reading multiple of his posts that he is not what he acts like he is and in fact I am not even sure that he has an audio system at all but he has been correct in his assessments evaluation and presentation of valid listening tests and that there are those who argue so boisterously against such simple facts is a public indictment of the status of the US which of course his few loud critics will not be able to recognize themselves except perhaps with the assistance of they're parents and even in that case I am not sure.
