Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm very confused. All these discussions about DBT, A/B switch tests - why is it not possible to quantify the difference between 2 pieces of sound equipment?
Method:
1) Play a set of sound waves in known frequencies into an amp.
2) Record the output accurately.
3) Change the connecting cables / power supply.
4) repeat steps 1) and 2)
5) Analyse and compare the two recordings, with each other and with the original audio.
If cables really colour the sound, you'll easily be able to see the differences when you compare outputs. What am I missing?
