Andy,How can you ask "Why not try to be constructive and make the effort yourself rather than expecting them to make the effort?" in light of my saying that I have already performed the experiment below?
====================================================================
This is how our experiment went.1) Rick and I would always a) use the same song b) use the same volume (we simply shut the system off between different interconnects to assure the volume remained the same. We had no SPL meters and this seemed a reasoanble approach. Especially considering we expected to hear no differences.)
2) We labled the interconnects 1-8.
3) At no time during the process were we allowed to say if we did or didn't hear any differences.
4) We'd insert the interconnect, turn on the system, play the song, and while the song played we'd sit at opposite sides of a couch. We did this to be sure we didn't see what the other wrote--not that this mattered because Rick is almost blind after a 2 foot distance. Then we'd simultaneously wrote down what we heard.
5) Steps 1-4 were repeated for all 8 interconnects.
6) After all the interconnects were listened to and we were done writing we compared notes.
Not only did we hear differences but we were shocked to discover many more times than not we commented on EXACTLY SAME THINGS! Also much to our amazement we never conflicted completely i.e. one said the bass got better and the other said the bass got worse. Instead it turned out that most likely that in addition to both agreeing the bass was better or worse, one of us might have made an additional comment like the soundstage got bigger/smaller, the other didn't notice or hear.
=====================================================================
Andy you, like Pat and some others may believe it's not vaild. However, it was sufficient enough for myself, my friend Rick and a few others at the time for us to change from believing cables did not affect the sound to believing cables do affect the sound.So I have done something constuctive...
