How do you quantify subjective changes? For sure, the tester must not know what connector he/she is listening to. Peeking (SY's favorite 🙂 cannot be allowed.
Different connecter materials do not change other analogue signals why would they change an audio signal, as stated if you have discovered a new physics phenomena prove it...
Do you understand signal flow, just out of interest?
We have pointed out a whole field of physics and electronic research, there is no difference between analogue audio and any other analogue electronic signal, the same laws of physics apply.
You have put forward the view that different materials used for RCA connectors sound different, provide some hard evidence or some scientific basis for the difference.
May I also refer to Panos mud etc. tests...... Quite convincing evidence that a lot of perceived differences in materials used for signal transmission are delusional....

Subjective changes in sounds are what is perceived in someone's head, there are methods of determining if these perceived changes are real or delusional, if they are real then measurements can be performed to determine what is causing the change.
With a measurement or repeatable test, something that is pretty much 100% absent from these threads, it would seem.
These types of threads should really only be 3 posts long. A claim is made, it's accused of being false, then proof is offered. As long as it's just claim after claim after claim that's met with anger and denial rather than proof, I find it troublesome that these threads are google-able, and cringe thinking someone might actually read some of this terrible misinformation and actually believe it.
Simpler than this?:
Too complex and esoteric for you?
Sorry, can´t help you.
In that case it goes beyond Electronics and more into the "special needs" area 🙁
I wonder, if I switch out the network cable on this pc for one plated with rhodium, if perhaps that will help filter out some of these claims that all suffer from a natural aversion to being tested.
You may not like the statement, but it is still true.
The opposite, by using poor language and/or poor punctuation, creates avoidable ambiguity.
It's an audio forum with a lot of people not English native (like me), you are right about ambiguity but if not spcified sounds high-handed attitude like despising or labelling as idiot the one that cannot write or to express in English.
You are saying oscilloscope measure all subjective that we hear. Scope don't measure physics.
Totally agree except you are really sure that we have all tools to measure all the differences we can hear?

No I would say a scope aids in visualizing objective quantities according to the skill of the user setting up a particular experiment. Once a connection shows a tiny linear contact resistance and nothing else, we are again left with extraordinary claims that what is reproduced by the speakers somehow is not fully contained in the electrical signals in the interconnect wires/connectors.
