Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: Are we asking for a true/false answer to a multiple choice question?

Hello Kuribo,

Your point is a good one: no-one can state that cable X is better than cable Y from a perceptions point of view, but it may IN THE FUTURE (with more testing/research) be possible to say that cable X more faithfully transfers the signal than Cable Y under various loads, source and test conditions.

I do not feel that this future is here yet. Which is why we must continue to listen, and when we hear differences, objectively test the cables to determine POSSIBLE reasons for the sonic difference. It is only when we understand the aspects of a cable's design that effect the sonics, that we will be able to make more perfect cables on purpose rather than by accident. Of course we could test all cables first and then listen for differences, but that would be a much larger task. In any event I don't believe we have all of the test methods yet.


HAVE FUN,

JOEY.
