What display is that?
I'd be happy for you to explain. That's something you should have done in the post itself, but late is better than never.
On such a contentious issue, I'd personally entertain the analysis of only someone who has experienced both sides. I wonder how many here do hear a damning difference between cables and based on scientific evidence, happily concede that the difference is in his/her mind. Not many, I'd wager. It would seem that in the main, we're comprised of two distinct groups:
- Those who haven't heard a difference between HP cables and believe the scientific evidence that supports there not being an audible difference.
- Those who hear a difference between HP cables and choose to doubt the validity and hence, the ultimate truth in the scientific evidence that doesn't support what they're hearing.
The first group can be subdivided into those who haven't heard a difference because they haven't seriously tried different cables and those who have seriously tried different cables and failed to hear a difference.
On such a contentious issue as this, it's fascinating, for me at least, that one would be willing to make a solid decision without having first tried for him or herself. The poster to whom my initial comment was directed to, seemed, from what he wrote, not to have tried different cables for himself, hence my querying this.
What has been motivating this ENTIRE discussion stems from the disagreement between the two groups. I'm not at all saying that one should uncompromisingly trust his or her ears. One should at a minimum understand his or her ears and mind. Additionally, there's usually a level of trust put in the truth of what one observes. It's this level of trust that will make one question or choose not to question the validity of experimentation that that claims what they observed to be purely illusory.
I'd surely love to be a part of a DBX test but I've already stated in this or maybe another similar thread, my own issues with using my own headphones and cables.
As to your display:
It's pretty flagrant; bullish; authoritarian, blunt.
I hope that's not how you wish to come across but I advise care. You never know who you're replying to here. There are all sorts on these boards who may choose to fully or not so fully identify themselves. An anonymous handle as 'Head Injury', doesn't absolve you of responsibility.
