[QUOTE="desertheat, post: 4144323, member: 557169"] Joe, even knowing the specs on what they used to test would not matter really, I would have to bet a nice steak dinner that I could do a blind test in your own home with your own equipment and your guesses would be totally random weather kimber, monster or whatever cable was being used compared to a cheap metal coat hanger even with lengths of wire up to 10 feet or even longer. Just the sad facts. I used to buy mid range cables that were on the edge of my budget thinking the same as many people think that more expensive or better technical babble on a package meant better sound, then I read things about how they do not make a difference and I was like BS, I know I heard a difference. So I started to experiment over and over and found out that I could not tell a $20 RCA from a $200 RCA. I could not hear the difference between silver and copper. I could not hear the difference between ratshack speaker cable & some loaner cable that was about $35 a foot. I must have tried to hear the difference a 150 times on test tracks, music tracks, anything... and notta. That has made me the ABX @hole I am today [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] The only time I ever heard a difference was in a prosound application were we had runs of cable over 100' in length.
