I suppose this is somehow better than a testimonial on TV? Why would they be exepmt from human gullibility? Or the basic humand need for changes whether one took place or not?
I don't suppose you confirmed this observation with bias controlled listening, right?

You are free to give my comments as much or as little credence as you like.

Why would they be exempt from acknowledging reality is the more relevant question. As to how any "basic humand need" factored into what they heard, I'm not as comfortable playing freelance psychologist as you apparently are, so I won't venture a guess. I suppose you'll have to ask them if you really want to know.

No, my bias prevents me from being that anal about evaluating the sound of audio components.

That is the question. Acknowlidging reality is not easy at times. Some just cannot accept this and believe that every experience is reality. Wrong.

No need to guess. Just a bit of knowledge on human perceptions, human belief system, bias, gullibility, etc.

I to have heard noticeable difference's when changinging from a heavy gauge monster cable to a higher end cable. When swapping out the monster with kimberkable the differece's were immediate(dependant on cable line). The soundstage opened up and the bass cleaned up,with pitch instead of the boom that the monster offered.However, the cable cannot produce miracle's. The rest of your component's should be up for the task at hand aswell.Remember ,your system is only as good as your weakest link.:9:

Welcome and I agree cables can make a difference. Of course this thread is very old. You might want to start a new thread.
c

yes, this is an old thresd... but

the best cables should get out of the way of the sound.
