Hi,
AFAIR - yes.
Although Measuring LCR, did they ensure that LCR was the same amongst the cables tested?

One could argue that if large sample sizes are required for cables then the differences must be so small that if even if it exists it is not worth bothering with - when the money spent elsewhere would swamp the alleged difference by orders of magnitude.
This isn't a short coming of DBT - they just have to be used correctly.
One way to tackle small sample size is to use ranking tests for a number of cables and assess using something like spearmans rank correlation.
Obviously something like CDPs can be told apart every time and no one contests they sound different.

Absolutely Nick, that says it all.
Dev,
Actually it does matter - out of 1000 people one might do it just by chance. Thats the point

if you find cables sounds no different it just means your not hearing it, full stop ....it doesn't mean there are no differences.
IMO it doesn't matter. If a "believer" believes he/she can identify a cable in a given system, let him/her decide which system to use. The simpler you make the test the easier it is to implement and draw conclusions.
I agree, thats the moot point isn't it? I described earlier clearly audible differences with different digital cables(a less controversial area IMO) and would expect any doubters of my sanityIMO it doesn't matter.

Show me the maths.DBT are a waste of time with fewer than 150 AS AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM thats why they are a waste of time and effort...
Show me the maths.
If you personally can get 14/16 in a trial of cables then I think you'd have made your point. I think 12/16 would be looking pretty good.
