Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?


Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs

Now that weed is legal in NY State, it ain’t as much fun, as the late great John Hartford once said.

BUT, dollars on weed is way better spent - and much much cheaper - than $s on cable and speaker interconnects. And as an added bonus: it makes sex and Hagen Das taste so much better too.
I worked as an art director / creative director in pharmaceutical advertising for 25 years. I learned how to read the clinical trials, efficacy and safety data, about the strength of placebo effects, etc.

Until I see randomized blind studies involving a cohort of at least 1,000 participants with results that show a consistent selection bias towards expensive cable interconnects that exceeds chance, I’m not going to waste my time or money on pricey brand name cable interconnects. 

The guy in the video that’s posted for discussion makes clearly reasoned sense to me. I don’t see a single person here refuting him on his own terms. The “I hear it so it must be true and if you don’t, you are an inferior listener” thing is condescending and doesn’t cut it.
