I agree too, you seems to have a major difficulty to open your wallet and buy an LCR meter which is capable for measurements at micro Ohm range, that is capable to act as proof of the purity of material used in that connector, or speaker cable.
Instead of opening your wallet you just opening your mouth with opinions close to supernatural which are cost you nothing.
No, I listen to music, and if there's any subjective talking going on, it's usually about speakers, or the source recording.
If you were to suggest anything about my RCA cables, speaker wire, magnetized CDs or any other useless, stupid pseudo-science ghostly crap, then yes, the A/B switch box comes out for the purely academic purposes of proving the person who implied there was a problem with my RCA jacks insane, a "never suffered defeat" activity.
If I feel lighter can go to a scale to confirm or deny my feeling, but first was the feeling and second the scale not vice versa.
I think the important thing here is that a 'feeling' can or cannot correspond to reality.
You can 'feel lighter' but you don't know whether it is reality until you measure it.
Same with audio. You may 'feel' that cable A sounds better than cable B, but you don't know that they sound different until you 'measure' it. In this case, do a blind, controlled ears-only test.

Exactly! Ok, so, you've told us that you "feel" different RCA jacks sound different, so let's go to the scale (a null test with audio diffmaker or ABX test) to see if you're right about your feeling.
Just a warning though, people have been going to the "scale" for years, and have never had their feelings justified. Hell, people can't even manage to win the $10,000 amp challenge, what possible earthly reason do we have to believe they could do it with RCA jacks?
So, you prefer bantering about the fake properties of RCA jacks instead of listening to music and talking about recordings?
No, I think I'll pass.
It makes you wonder after which glass of Scotch whisky those feelings have been created, after the second or after the fourth glass.
This is why the industry have faith to measuring instruments, they are more stable characters.
Thanks Jan,
Is the way that I use, but I will more comfortable if can measure.
Best, Felipe

lol, 4 glasses is about my limit, any more than that and speakers start to become endangered by attenuatoritis and classic rock.
Scott,
I am teasing you about it. Any time some one mentions them you seem to always have to chime in.
There are some possible real issues, but this is super trollfest, so why bother?
I'd say me, but my ice bucket challenge would be similar to Patrick Stewart's.
A 0.01dB difference is measurable but is not audible, 1000s of audio perception tests confirm that.
And a connector difference is smaller than that.
Measuring a 0.01dB difference is Science
Claiming that it's way below perceived level is Science.
Claiming that it can be reliably perceived is Religion ... or worse.
Nope. If it was true that there was something which we couldn't measure, but existed, that would mean ABX tests would be easy to pass.
If there was one single person in the world who could identify an RCA jack using only their ears, then yes, I would believe something was going on which we couldn't measure.
Edit: Clairity.

How about a nice NO peeking challenge at your place, any protocol of your choice. My only usual condition, YOU have to truly accept that you are not peeking.
