Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

We're still at square zero....

Dan:

There's no correlation yet between any measurements on cables and the reported subjective character of those cables.

There are only two possible reasons (that I can think of):

1) The subjective reports are wrong (i.e. sonic differences don't really exist as described), or

2) We're measuring the wrong things.

AFAIK, there is no current way to differentiate between them. Any cable analysis work that doesn't attempt to address this question is a waste of time.

Ranking cables (i.e. assigning a value or "goodness" judgement) according to measurements that don't correlate to a subjective outcome is a completely pointless exercise (unless you're using the cables for something other than reproduction of music).
