TEST:
Simple as this for me...

Get a very cheap lead with no oxidisation. Get one VERY expensive lead (top of the range). Run a test with the same CD over and over (blind). See if you can tell the difference.

For 20 (ish) or more blind tests the person should change the mains cable at random.

Scoring will be:
Better, Worse, can't tell.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Cable 1    Cable 2    Cable 3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nordost    Cheapo Cheapo --- Not known to the listenners.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Better    Worse Worse
-----------------------------------------------------------

With lots of people!....

In terms of better or worse:
if you preferred the cheap cable this would consistently come out as better for that ONE person.
if you preferred the expensive cable this would consistently come out as better for that ONE person.

Score of can't tell will be useful as well.

I would expect with the vast differences claimed that the percentage chance of preffering one cable over another is high. If not it'll be a 50\50 split and if the cheap cable wins I'll laugh.

What do you all think?
