Jenks, it sounds like you spend quite a lot of time doing experiments with cables. You may not care about this, but no one (outside the audiophile world at least) will take your results seriously unless they are properly controlled - meaning blind and randomized. So it might be worth trying.
I'm not saying you have to do this, or even that you should - you can do anything you want, of course - but at least for anyone scientifically minded the results mean literally nothing unless the experiments are properly controlled. Imagine you had a defective equalizer with settings that change over time, either randomly or (even worse) in response to the type of cables you attach. Suppose you hooked this thing up to your system and then proceeded swapping cables and trying to identify differences. It would be impossible - you couldn't distinguish the effect of the cables from the effect of the equalizer. That's a more or less good model for your (or anyone's) brain. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
