[QUOTE="SQ Addict, post: 65134, member: 542226"] Zane, I never admitted or will pretend to know how every component in a cable affects its sonic quality. I simply stated that there are variables in cable construction and that I can discern musical subtleties between cables. Your not calling my bluff!!! Intelligence is not the issue. We are still talking cables. If I could tell you exactly how the “perfect” cable is constructed and why certain things in its construction makes it sounds superior, I would be making cables, not working for someone else. The person that really opened my eyes (ears) on this issue holds a masters degree in engineering and is a consultant to three cable manufacturers. If you think this is all hype, do you think a cable company would solicit expertise outside of it’s own company? Wouldn’t they just propagate the fallacy without expertise? BTW – His ears are much more discerning than mine are. From your statements I’m convinced that there is nothing more I can say on this subject that would encourage you to be a little more open minded on this issue. I am glad that you at least have done blind testing several times and respect the fact that you cannot hear any difference. I was at least expecting that you would have stated what cables you had done your comparison with. I’m further convinced that if you had auditioned any of the cable brands I’ve spoke of you would have heard a difference. Have you listened to any of these? Have you listened to silver wire cables? Have you listened to non-metallic cables? Apparently, you have never heard a cable lose it’s sonic qualities over time (thank heavens I’ve only heard one). --------------“As I stated before, if you can hear a difference; you are in the wrong industry.
