"I have and noted a considerable difference."Then if someone changed 2" of red wire to black on one channel of your stereo you should be able to tell which one without knowing, right?
And if this person did this every day for 20 days you should be able to tell, correctly each time, which side he messed with?
Unless or until you have successfully done so there's nothing to prove to me that you're not just fooling yourself.
"I guess you haven't tried it, then."
What if I did and claim to hear what you hear, or claim not to hear what you hear?
Who's to say I'm not just fooling myself?
Either one of us needs to prove it before we start making claims.
I mean, red, black, green...I use all colors in my builds and they all sound great to me....but what the hell do I know?
BTW It ain't no skin off my back.

and if only one channel is changed I can tell within seconds and have done so on numerous occasions (used to sponsor an audio club and we used to do things like DBT a lot).
Its a lot like absolute polarity, which can hear it within seconds, usually within 30 secs. I don't claim better hearing than anyone, because I have stated many times, it took me a decade to understand it and to be able to recognize it.
Again another pretty simple example, can you hear the change in ends of your interconnects. That's about an inch of connector. Again, why not use a steel connector?
I'd like to see your score sheets from those DBTs and a full disclosure of how the tests were done.

I was struck by this one, on the "tweakers' forum":
"In playing with the Alexandrite. I am building a flashing LED circuit.
Very simple: resistor inline with the LED and then hooked up to a battery (I am awaiting some AC power supplies).
The curious thing I once I turn the circuit on even without any crystals nearby I hear an improvement in my system. Background becomes quieter and more fine detail becomes evident. Dynamics improve and sound from top through bottom becomes "tighter" for lack of a better word."In reply to another fellow traveller, you then added:
"I use the diodes in pairs. Anywhere in tbe listening room makes a difference. but i like to place them close to indicator LEDs in components. You can often solder them in parallel to existing LEDs. If your component has a low voltage PS ,you can piggy back tbe flashing u.units off of it. On mYDAC it increases bass and actually lowers the noise floor."
Are we supposed to take any of this stuff seriously? Do you take it seriously? I mean, do you actually believe any of it, or are you just dreaming up outlandish and ridiculous claims in order to wind people up? Why should we believe anything you report hearing, when some of the things you report are such manifest nonsense?

I would have proposed a similar test. Someone changes or NOT, a critical interconnect and the system owner says 'original' or 'modified' each day when they come in.
Based on reasonable statistical technique, you should be able to tell in 20 trials.
Too much is never enough
Yes, that is my point.
My apologies for mixing, copper vs. silver (that's what most of this thread have been about) and red insulation vs. black, but I hope my point is still understood.
