Now why would you want to believe some one who's business is to dupe you, ie an illusionist ?
The last time I bothered to check ...the small print and exceptions would make it more than impossible to show sound changes between cable. Let alone things like amps or cdp. I can easily test two dissimilar cables [ic] in my own system an show to anyone who cares to pop in for a listen that they will sound different.My test method if you want to try something yourself. the cdp is quad99cdp2 with a fixed and variable output...the difference in sound between these two outputs is non existant using two identical cables. Fit cable A to the variable fit cable B to the fixed output [set the varriable to full output] these are then both taken to a quad 77pre using inputs 1 and 2 which are both electrically identical. Using the hand set to switch between the two, its possible to discriminate between dissimilar cable. Obviously the more different they are the bigger the perceived sound differences. Interestingly using this method with identical cables but different plugs you can hear the effect that various makes of rca connectors have on the signal passing through the cables. Its very clear that some of the more costly plugs don't sound as good as some of those with less base metal ie eichmann silver bullets are the best I've heard at any price but neutrik sy series at about 10% of the cost run them very close.The worse ones are those with two part earth returns that are crimped ie the cheap sort you'd get from maplin in the uk. Only slightly better are the big heavy wbt clones canare and audio note are particularly good but at a price. Remember Randi is an illusionist and therefore he's going to have any so called test weighted heavily in his favour....he's certainly not going to want to payout the illusionary million dollars. I'm happy to let people make there own minds up ...where as some people [randi ?] would like you to conform to there way of thinking. of course this is only my opinion and everyone is allowed to have !
