As a "victim" of a real difference, there is only one thing that can describe not hearing a difference. Lies.I was a television professional for all my adult life and had the engineering "nothing makes a difference" bias drummed into my head every day for that time. I saw thousand foot runs of both audio and video and saw and heard the wonderful results (we had some great NTSC video and 2-channel audio at the station) all with impossibly thin cables, as pro audio/video is wont to use.
And to be frank, I never heard any cable, with the exception of going from lamp cord to 12 AWG, or any interconnect make any difference AT ALL.
Until I did. Once I did I crowed about it all over the place because it makes no sense not to do so. So I don't believe in "negative expectation bias" any more than I believe in the opposite.
Those who claim they DON'T hear a difference EVER as are dishonest as those who claim to ALWAYS hear one.
Edit.. in general... some...especially in the "no difference" camp are probably hard of hearing in some way and are incapable of hearing a difference.
