About ten years ago I was getting a new pair of nice large “upper middle class” speakers. With that I needed a decent pair of cables - went through all the usual suspects - Monsters, JBL, solid core, oxygen free, silver plated... and also (shamefully) for that RadioShack one (fat, clear one, that they scare you turns green)... Had huge listening parties, myself and with my friends... “clearly heard the difference”... Until a buddy of mine who worked at that disgusting Magnolia department of BestBuy brought a speaker switching/distribution contraption they use to showcase speakers by instantly switching between them... We set all my and some Magnolia’s cables (about 7 sets) and there were five of us (plus girlfriends and wives)... Long story short, we went through exhaustive blind comparison of all those cables - a few sessions, probably a few thousand switchings, with writing down results... could not distinguish shit. Neither one of us! Again and again... and again. In total disbelief of what was happening... And this is how I became what I am. And here is my cable, to this day...
