Very likely.They don't want a real test. It would prove them wrong.
I’ll be glad to. They are either wildly incompetent or wildly dishonest. Possibly both. Anyone taking them seriously should be kept away from sharp objects for their own protection.Last time I commented about one of their videos presented here I was accused by them for lack of empathy,cruelty that hurt their feelings as persons,etc.
As if I am such a person and as if they know my story for helping people.
So,I won't comment this time.
(but I may laugh,secretly)
Yeah, acknowledging that an Amazon Basics cable works fine is not what they're going for here.They don't want a real test. It would prove them wrong.
Well, that's more or less what I'm saying, but politely. Clean up the blind test or no sale. But I think my approach is more likely to change minds or get a different result. I dunno, I see why you all call it a waste of time, but this is kind of part of our version of the hobby, isn't it?I just wasted 10 minutes of my life reading this thread because I thought there might be something new coming from the subjectivist crowd.
Instead, I find that we're sifting through the same old BS. No real measurements, no fundamentally sound double blind test, just more hand wavy babble about perceived differences.
Stop wasting our time with crap.
Kind of. That test is a tangled mess. Amir tests cables just fine without resorting to pointless step-response gimmicks.Well, that's more or less what I'm saying, but politely.

This thread is about measurements. If we go into a discussion about the blind test, admins will surely close it, so each one investigates it on their own or watch the Live test video.
Not my experience, I have a whole thread on blind tests, and there are many others. @BDWoody what say you?
The measurements aren't very interesting. What's interesting is whether those measured differences are *audble*. And that video is horrendous.
Actually, you can get it much cheaper if you shop around.Multi test – Influence of conductor material – Silver – Copper – Graphene – Gold?

[ We used the following materials for this test:
- 1mm solid core Pure silver – 5N – coated – about 35 Euro per meter (price fluctuates)
- 1mm solid core Single crystal copper with graphene – 150 Euro per meter (price fluctuates)
- 1mm solid core Tinned copper, coated (wax / cloth) – Unknown
- 0.5mm solid core Gold/Silver (Mundorf) – not coated – 15 Euro per meter
- Standard DIY lamp wire – copper, stranded – 2 Euros per meter ]
Please measure the impact of these differences in audio band limited signals.Multi test – Influence of conductor material – Silver – Copper – Graphene – Gold?

Measurements Contents 1. Intro2. The blind test3. Measurements 4. CommentsWe organised a livestream blind test on Sunday, June 4, at Alpha Audio, testing conductor materials for cables. We made a total of six cables using five types of material. One cable was some sort of hybrid. We dived into...alpha-audio.net

Analogies don't often work. This one proves there are exceptions....It's like saying you can't really appreciate the differences in running shoes until you hit 115kph on the track.
Still, if you have super-super-super-super tweeters and listen to the unmodulated AM broadcast band...oh nevermind.Did anyone for a minute think that audio interconnect cables might not test different at radio frequencies?
