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

Actually, Rod...

Subjective tests are quite important. The people who designed the MP3 codec used a carefully prepared double-blind test methodology (they were colleagues of Dr. Floyd Toole. Who says us Canadians cannot kick engineering ass?). Subjective assessments in carefully controlled conditions were key to developing those algorithms.

I just don't understand why this testing could not be applied to cables to determine sonic differences. And to answer my own question, perhaps it is because the results would benefit no one.
