Years ago, before I got into mastering, I sold hifi. Had an engineer on staff that repaired broken gear and such who was convinced our hi-end cables were a bunch of crap, and started building high quality switches to test everything we sold. After a few months, it bacame
obvious that they were crap. Some interconnect/speaker cables did sound different, but only because the audibly degraded the signal. AC cables either worked or did not.
The point that he made after we were all convinced that it was indeed only audio jewelry was this - if it were truly such drastic and obvious benefit, why wasn't there a
single published report of someone being able to tell a diff under controlled conditions?
To my knowledge, there still hasn't been one person, to this very day, that could hear the diff when they were tested under controlled circumstances. If these cable manufacturers really want people to believe, have them set up a proper blind test and see what happens...
