Well I think we will have to agree to disagree. While I do appreciate the work that goes into some of these cables I just cannot believe that a human is able to detect differences that state of the art machines cannot, or that in this case DBT is not appropriate or reliable (this is something that every dodgy "science" claims).
[I do not wish to offend anyone with the following statement it is my honest belief and I am not saying it always applies.]
I think there is a definite line that should always be drawn between perception and reality. Reality is solid and explainable by science, while perception - although as solid for each individual is not. While a person may experience better sound through their expensive cables in reality I do not believe anything is changed. I do not even think you have to believe that the cables make a difference to perceive the improved sound. I personally have tested pieces equipment and thought there to be a massive difference only to conclude through blind testing that there is not. Anyone who has taken mind altering substances will know how fragile our perception can be, so we must rely on proper scientific processes, which I still have not seen for expensive cables. I believe that due to the lack of proper experimental evidence any reasonable person must conclude that a cable of decent measurements is enough.
P.S. Theories are all well and good, but unless they are backed up by _objective_ evidence they aren't worth much.
