Your statement only makes any sense if there was a likelihood of agreement (or even acceptance of positions) within 200 posts.
I'd give it the same odds as agreement (or acceptance of positions) on climate change...
In that context, underwear and the personal interpretation of fit, form and function seems entirely appropriate. Levity is the only answer we have with the prospect of certain failure accepted.
Yes, I have found that by wearing the right underwear, or preferably no underwear at all that cables are not only less important, they're not even on the radar.
see what I mean? You feel better, and the cables, no matter what they are, sound better as long as you are in well fitting, supportive underwear.
Bet they don't cover that off in a DBT.

further, this is proof of a causal link between underwear and perceived sound quality. It is often said that audio sounded better in the 70's. Auplaters study above supports a view that it is not the move to digital, but a move away from supportive underwear that has brought about the degradation of sound that we experience.
I thank you goldfinger. You have brought some serious and well researched reason to my hypothesis. Regressive analysis anyone?

Forum admin question
Just curious, if we are able to get a dbt volunteer and do some tests, and this thread is closed, on which sub-forum / thread should we post the results?

Yes, but I need your help. Perhaps you can acquire this pristine CD, listen to it on your ultra resolving high resolution detail uninhibited system and tell me what to listen for specifically, such as when "details" are being suppressed by wires?
I would ask TG1954 to do the same, but he tends to get so excited by my posts that he misses the actual questions (such as why price is so important and their effect on soundwaves...or at least the perception of). Possibly he already owns this CD and can use it for the maybe in the future test?
cheers,
AJ

"breaking-in" - is it OF the cable or BY the cable?
Judging by some of the posts above, you'll be wanting to fumigate the cables after the DBT!

Ears break-in, or more correctly ... habituate.
And wreck the sound? No way!

Me too, but i can't say it on here, its X rated.! Maybe ill make a new user id, to do so! 😛
Glad you got one, not that easy around here. 😉
AJ, everything on that disc have something special to it if you listen closely, to give you an idea, listen to the placement, size, focus and sound of each instrument and compare it to what you expect to hear from real instruments, the decay of the notes also. To get the piano to sound realistic is perhaps the most difficult.
A part where I've heard quite large differences between cables (equipment) is when you listen to the beginning of track nine, listen to the fingers touching the strings on the DB and the definition of the sounds from the strings, Holly taking a breath when she starts to sing, you can hear her voice forming in her mouth like she is there. Just a warning, listening like that can be addictive. 🙂
I will just take your comments about my system very lightly,as you seem to have this "bad" habit,either to judge one's system without listening to it(as you did with TG1954's system),or ,using irony for someone else or his system.
It is either you hear the differences or you don't.I can't help you on this,for another reason too,as at the moment I only have a very old cd player that I use mostly for "backround" music.The rest of my system is indeed of very high reslution.And to answer your question,only using great LP recordings,I can only tell you that with a cheap cable from say my phono stage to amp,these recordings are no longer that great.But to do such a test yourself,you first have to be accustomed to a really great cable and be able to appreciate its qualities(I guess you are not judging by your comments in this thread)so to be able to compare it to a lesser one and spot the differences.It is not a matter of FR or "details" as you say.It is more about a Srad or a cheap imitation of it.It is about a voice and one that just reminds you of it.You know it is him/her,but simply sound wrong.When people claim that depth is not recorded but a FR thing,I can't help you spot the difference.When people think that the clearer/more analytical/thinner/more forward the more accurate it is, I can't help you either.Finally,since you believe it is all RLC,RLC are the only differences you will(?)hear,so don' even waste your time.Enjoy your music as it is now.
Since you have mentioned TG1954 in your reply to my post,I think the way you are refering to him has nothing to do with some serious comments that TG1954 has made for you.From what we all read here,he is not perhaps the one who should be with the backs against the wall.Time to realize that personal attacks are not allowed in this forum.Actually they are not allowed anywhere if one has basic understanding of at least good manners.

I hope you weren't referring to me. Because FR is only part of it and I usually talk about how a mixing engineer will manipulate depth by imitating the FR changes that happen as well as the changes is direct to reverberant sound that takes place in a real live event. These things aren't exactly magic they are done all the time by people who mix for films.
Hi,I wasn't refering to anyone in particular.I was refering mostly to the usual "trap" many fall in when they hear "more detail" due to FR variations.
Too much of everything is not necessarily more correct.
Re:depth,yes I agree with you as long as you refer to mixing consoles etc....,but I cannot agree with you if we talk about true depth due to successful mic placement in a live unplugged recording.Many confuse these too very often,and this is perhaps one of the reasons why they claim that all is FR related.It is not.I have made recordings with a nice illusion of depth,and I've made recordings with real and convincing depth.I'm sure you have done this yourself too🙂
Too true, because unless you did the mix you don't know how prominent any particular sound should be.
Not addressed to you Panicos, but from my experience using one CD to judge and adjust how your system resolves "details" can lead to an unbalanced system. I've ended up with systems that will blow your socks off on some CDs and fail to impress on others. Audio thrills on all CDs seems an elusive goal. But then audio thrills to me now seem to get in the way of enjoying music. When the overall envelope is right (in room) the little details are not important and certainly not critical. I guess I am a reformed detail freak.🙂
