[SNIP] - I suggest we let people read what was said in the thread?> And if, as I suggested, it is due to electrostatic charge issues...
Do you believe the explanation for the improved sound lies with known science or some modification to known science?
If the former, I suggest you put some estimated numbers to the electrostatic charges involved to see what the effect is for a cable on the floor and a cable supported on a stand. You do not need precise numbers just order of magnitude estimates to see if the effect is large enough to be significant. Be prepared for disappointment though because rather a large number of scientists and engineers will have performed this estimate over the years since electrical equipment was first connected together with cables.
If the latter, then the potential rewards are enormous if you can perform a repeatable experiment to demonstrate the effect since, ultimately, this is the foundation of all science.
Whatever the explanation, just being able to demonstrate the effect will net over $1 million from various challenges that have been open for quite a few years now. If I, or millions of audio enthusiasts around the world, thought the device in question had even the slightest chance of creating an audibly discernible difference (doesn't need to be an improvement) we would be after the money like a shot.
> but nothing you've said proves they don't work
Yes this is what is so interesting. Not so much what I have said but that you seem able to hold a view that you know is against scientific reasoning and yet want it to be supported by a scientific explanation.
