In Reply to: Why Wires Sound Different or Objectivists Got It All Wrong... posted by thetubeguy1954 on August 8, 2006 at 09:52:18:
I've been seeking the name of any audiophile who has proven his "wire differentiation" skills to witnesses for over a decade. I would expect someone to "qualify", even if it was only a false positive that could never be repeated! (typically a 3% to 4% probability of a false positive result with typical blind test statistics)Playing music at the same SPL's in a normally reverberant listening room, with brand names hidden, no audiophiles have yet proven to witnesses they can hear wire sound quality differences.
Without any proof, sound quality differences among wires of typical lengths intended for audio use, are just a belief rather than a proven fact.
In one published test, a majority of audiophiles could not even hear sound quality differences between 30 feet of 11.5AWG Monster Cable and 30 feet of 24AWG zip cord. Even though 30 feet is triple the usual speaker cable length, and 24AWG is much too thin for audio use, this blind test published in Stereo Review showed a typical example of audiophile reality ... that is far removed from audiophile beliefs.
