Or to be more specific, a mood worse than usual!Since we are talking about AC cables, which have no proven effect on sound quality, the only two variables are whether you are in your usual bad mood, or in a really bad mood, during the audition day ... AND whether or not the brand name affects your bad mood that day.
If you are in a bad mood even worse than usual, and don't happen to like the sound of the brand/model name: "Irving Lipshitz Clever Cable", not that there's anything wrong with that, then what chance is there of you liking "the sound of" the "Irving Lipshitz Clever Cable"?
I'd say almost none.

...were a cable named Stanley Lipshitz, would *you* listen, at last?clark
Funny to me and many others.Maybe unpleasant sounding to you.
And how would you know someone named Irving Lipshitz is Jewish?
Are you stereotyping?
Do you just assume a person's religion based on their name?
Based on my name, am I Jewish?If you have a few funny names that don't sound Jewish to you, then please provide them and I'll use them next time I disagree with you in my post.
Clark Johnsen is not a funny name.
Richard Greene is not a funny name.
Irving Lipshitz is a funny name ...
... unless your name is Lipshitz!

Interesting conclusion. How did you arrive at it? It appears you speculated the conclusion - a cable is liked or disliked because of our mood and its appearance - based on an unproven and thereby faulty premise - that it can't be because of sound since cables have no sound.
Why not just say that if we eat peanut butter on one day, we'll like the cable and if we eat jelly, we won't? :)
At any rate, I do not like the appearance of my interconnects and speaker cables. There have been numerous products that I have loved that did not look like anything one would brag about. It's not looks. And if it's mood, then during auditions for my own personal gear, I must be in the same mood several days in a row.
Nice try but it's not an answer. See markrohr's response above.
...no evidence even! Yet behold him demanding same from others.Will he ever take a step back and look at the spectacle?
