Care to explain why the "easily" identified wire/cable/cord/widgetX evaporates into "not so easily" identified red faced Audiphool wire/cable/cord/widgetX in the presence of a horses**t detector aka ABX box?"Sound" statistics require the use of controls, not assumptions, to assure that a test is capable of answering the intended question(s). The operating assumption is that the ABX boxes themselves introduce no audible changes. I have yet to see a test of the box itself. Frank Van Alstine, one engineer who does not endorse aftermarket cabling, points out some issues with using the box:
The big name non-lunatic fringe wire manufacturers could have their cake and eat it too.
