In other words, yes we are using our system, the only we have and the only we will use with the cables, but our system is the same to hear all the tests they made, with their same equipment always with the same piece of music always, the only thing changed in all cases was the cable in question, the rest was always the same for all tests, and from the instrument to our ears........if there is any diference, in any case, will be only due to the cable....IMO of course....but IME it was any.....all sounded pretty similar to me, if not the same. Which will be the difference between this CD and any other CD to evaluate the cables, are not all CDs recorded in this similar way? Why then insist in calling one CD a reference CD or a master recording CD, if you never know the equipment they used, the cables they used, the equalization they used, etc....(same you were stating above right?) BTW they were not trying to sell any cable with the CD, indeed they even tested a monster cable, it is just a CD to show the differences between 15 cables of the market, including one of theirs, but they never stated this one of that is the best, just here is a CD with the differences in the cables, make your own conclusions....for this point of view IMO it is valid, for an exact evaluation of one particular cable of course it is not.... ![]() |

It would be very interesting to grab the disk and to watch to it in SoundForge or another program with similar capabilities. That will show how much is the difference. And after you saw the differences in SF, you could make another test: take two recordings, take the left channel from the first recording and make it the left channel of a new recording, take the left channel from the secon recording and make it the right channel of the new recording. The same with right channels. After that also left to left from the first and right to right from the second. And left to left from the second and right to right from the first. My explanation is poor, but I hope you understand what I meant. It would be easier to find the difference that way without A/B. |
Could it be that headphone systems benefit more as it is much harder to discern elements such as a "black background" on speaker systems? |
