Good morning Jon.

Reading that "Rule", which accepts that Double Blind Testing is a scientifically acceptable procedure, I appreciate that it could (and obviously has in the past) lead to unwelcome argument. Presumably one can still say "I tested these 2 cables (or amps) over a period of time and found ....with A, compared with ....with B"?

However in the whole text of this "Rule" there is no explanation of the initials ABX. What does that stand for please? If AA users don't know what they can't talk about, the rule will inevitable and accidentally be breached. "ABX box" adds to the confusion! I suggest a clarification from the Moderators.

I hadn't realised that this particular sub-forum had its own specific rules. However the main gist of this notice is "The Cable Asylum is for those who have decided that audio cables make a sonic difference." That certainly does include me, as you will see from my earlier postings in this thread. However I appreciate there is a certain sensitivity in this forum when any post is critical of individual manufacturers or the cable industry in general regarding value for money. This strikes me as unfortunate if such criticism has a modicum of truth. Other sub-forum don't seem to be quite so sensitive. I'd be happy to praise or criticise any amplifier or speaker, not only on its performance, but also on its perceived value for money - and not expect to get my knuckles rapped.

Now I know I'm not allowed to express opinions on cables' value for money, I will do my best to concentrate solely on performance.

Thanks for the advice. Peter
