I'm certainly not of the view that known science must be violated in order for it to be true that there are audible differences between speakers connected to a power amp with 12g OFC zip cord versus specialty cable. I don't know how skin effect comes into play, for example. I'm not one to ascribe to magic or blind faith, but I recognize that I'm human. I'm also an audiophile, but that doesn't mean that I'm among those who are desperate to believe just about anything in order to perceive an upgrade in sound quality.
I will not be earning a Phd in EE in this lifetime, but at the same time at least I'm making an effort. I am running 12g OFC zip cord from Radio Shack and I'll be doing so for several weeks. Hopefully, I'll be able to engage in a proper blinded ABX at some point.
