It's an interesting idea. The goal would be to determine whether our listeners can tell the difference between cables. One way would be to see if they could identify the cables as Cable A and Cable B.

Of course it's possible that the cables selected are so similar that there's little or no discernable difference. Therefore the experiment must use cables that are reputed to have different sonic characteristics.

Then, what cables are we changing? One or more? IC, speaker or mains?

Personally, I'd rather the listeners were musicians rather than audiophiles. None of those 'Deaf as a post because I used the pa speakers as headphones' rock musicians either.

I have more issues but my general point is that the trial should be designed in a way that most, if not all of us are happy with it. Otherwise its conclusions won't be accepted.

We'll need a Trial Discussion Thread. Could we do it without squabbling? :sigh:

  

Absolutely, Mike. There's no question.
