Amir of ASR admitted 1 cable sounded better than the other. NOT CLICKBAIT


There is a recent thread inquiring about the Puritan PSM156, and someone lead to another product the Niagara 1200. Long story short. I come across a review of Amir admitting the "Generic" cable sound better than the Audioquest chain. 

If 1 cable can sound better than another, and Amir has admitted to it. Is there really anything left to discuss except that we have been right all along? 

 

Proof: Go to the "Listening Test" of the review.

@samureyex The entire premise of ASR, measurement cults, and Amir have always been, cables measure the same, they sound the same. 2 very important points. 

The “actual” reason stems from harden hearts from perceived unaffordablity. Basic LCR and the effects of dielectrics are measurable and audible, but hardened hearts refuse to face the objective facts - they rather point fingers than admit spending more gets more. It’s a maturity issue.

Obviously this does not mean simply buy expensive cabling, but rather that cabling matters as one’s audio chain’s performance and transparency increases. 

The objectivists want subjectivists to do blind A/B tests.

The subjectivists want objectivists to admit it when they hear a difference.

In either case, humility is the prerequsite for reliable, repeatable findings.

 

Every time I read threads like these, it's sadly comical the people that claim that the objectivists are "indoctrinated" or in a cult yet they are the one's using science and not religioun-like belief.

The measrements are only part of the process with another part being blind testing. But when you've already got your mind made up, as most audiophiles do, those methods are written off. Seems like they're afraid of the results being counter to their beliefs and then they'd be embarrassed that they paid who knows how much for a piece of wire that does nothing but allow electrons to flow.

Does anyone actually buy wire they have not auditioned, and are not returnable? I don't think anyone wants to spend lots of money on wire (or any other component) that they don't like - unless it looks super good...
