In Reply to: Golden Ears and Audible Differences: A New Test posted by Bayside Bomber on August 1, 2003 at 06:38:06:
I'll assume both cables had clean terminations:Two different speaker cables are unlikely to play at exactly the
same SPL. How do you know the wife was not hearing small differences in SPL, perhaps as little as 0.5dB, and misinterpreting those SPL differences as sound quality differences? Perhaps that's a moot point -- it seems like both cables were not liked:
"She complained about the graininess of the Audioquest and the brightness of the Transparent."Next time maybe you can get HER to swap the wires so YOU can do the test.
