Greetings.
This suggestion seems to have good common sense. To hear subtle differences will require the very best and revealing equipments.
Unfortunately in my most humble opinion there is a glaring gap in evidence. It is all about the sound. Do they actually have audible differences to human ears? Some of you claim you could hear it. If you can demonstrate it then I will accept mine is not as good.
Sometimes amateurs try to ridicule self proclaimed wine aficionado how could one could justify paying £100-10,000 for a bottle of red wine. Surely these do not taste any different to all the thousands of other reds available. True aficionados are more then willing to take up the challenge.
They straight away offer to be tested by the undisputed standard that everyone will be impressed by the Blind Test. To rub it in the not only they could identify the label they go on to identify the grapes, region of the vineyard and cap it off with the year.
Is there any group out there with audiophile's pretension who are willing to be put to the (at least to the second golden standard) challenge known as the Single Blind Test?
If audiophiles cables exist then show us you could pick it out under duress. What are these characteristics that make the sound of the system so much better that you could hear it without reading the label first?
