If you follow the logic that every component in a system has a sonic signature of one form or another then the idea behind choosing cables for their specific sonic signature is not such a stretch.
That isn't logic, it's an assumption on your part.

If all of the above is purely in my imagination so be it. Strange though that:

1. My imagination is so consistent.
2. My imagination does not stretch to power cables and biwiring which I have continuously failed to discover any benefit from.
3. That so many people suffer the same "imagination" as to build up entire industries around them.
4. That others involved in my listening tests also "hear" differences, some agreeing with my choices, others not.
So, to eliminate imagination from the equation, can you identify one cable from another without knowing which is connected?
